I'm not the original commenter but I'm travelling through Europe at the moment and I use the Osprey Ultralight Stuff Pack as a day pack. It weighs about 90 grams and condenses down to about the size of a pack of cards. It's been great so far, probably my favourite investment, it can easily hold a jacket, drink bottle, toiletries, passport etc. Basically anything you'd want to take on a day trip.
I've got one of these. Haven't used it much yet, but it seems to be well made.
Edit: Since mine's not available now, this one looks to be virtually identical. And if you want name brand, the Osprey Ultralight is similar.
I use an [Osprey UL daypack}(https://www.amazon.com/Osprey-10000102-Ultralight-Stuff-Pack/dp/B0124Y2V4M).
July in Yellowstone? Don't forgot a mosquito head-net and spray! Seriously. You'll be glad. I'd recommend a filter or way to treat water as well. That way you don't have to lug around so much water. Also, a rain jacket. July is the beginning of thunderstorm season. Sunscreen and a hat too (you burn much easier at high altitudes). I mention these items because you didn't. Also, not sure if you need a knife, tools, and multitool... I just take a small knife.

This might be a bit too lightweight and too much like the sea to summit for you, but I really like mine. I have put about 150 miles on it in Yosemite while day hiking. I got mine off Amazon for $25. They're $35 right now for some reason. At first I was worried about the lack of a belt strap but the important thing is to keep the total weight less than 5lbs /2.5kg. Not too difficult if you frequent this subreddit.

Something like this is handy since the backpack isn't structured. I keep the weight around 2l of water and just short of 2lbs for first aid, jacket, lunch, water filter etc and have been pretty comfortable. The longest I've taken it was 22miles in a day, and while I was pretty sore, it was a good tradeoff for how lightweight I was.
I'm 5'10 140lbs,and I can see how a bigger guy would feel pretty tight in this pack though.
