It's so tough to find a backpack that requires that extra step. Any other suggestions?
I believe you're thinking of a top loading backpack with draw string closure? Something like this? https://shop.lululemon.com/p/bags/Wu...l&gad_source=1

Thule makes one which has a flap and zipper https://www.thule.com/en-us/backpack...-25l-_-3203037 I've also seen a few roll tops that buckle down and Arcteryx used to sell a travel bag which opened from the back, where the zipper was closest to you. Perhaps one or two cottage maker backpacks have magnetic closures. "Fidlock" is one of the magnetic closure companies.
