Any recommendations for nice backpacks that have a (fleece) padded MacBook Pro 16 inch pocket/sleeve/compartment etc.?

I ordered the Fjallraven Kanken Laptop backpack and immediately returned it because of the insultingly bad laptop pocket. The padding is super thin and doesn’t even protect 3/4 of the laptop when it’s in the backpack.
I currently have a Herschel Little America wich I really like, but I have it for a couple of years and it‘s almost falling apart and I wanted to get something different but I just can’t seem to find something nice. If don’t find anything, I’ll just get another Little America. The North Face Borealis looks promising, but I haven’t checkt it out in real life. Maybe someone has any experience?
 
Here's what I use, and the same for my son:

They have a couple sizes, mine is the 15.6" version and works fine for the latest MacBook Pros. The 17.3" version would give the 16" MBP a little more room. The computer section is nicely lined and well protected. The orange interior helps with visibility when searching inside all areas. Very durable and professional.
