My bag!
I usually have a bottle of water, a torch and my folding saw. Depending on the weather/range some food items for a snack. I keep a pocket knife and lighter on me every day so no need to fill the bag with loads.

Great bags, I use mine for soggy hiking day trips and also for snowboarding in winter
No mate I can't say I've ever noticed it, I don't have much weight in usually but even when it's a bit heavier I've not had any probs
My day packs of choice are either a PLCE side pocket, or a Deuter Futura 32AC backpack. Which I take depends on what I am upto, and how much I'm carrying. I tend not to carry a brew kit with me, if I need a warm drink it's likely to be from a thermos. But typically I just carry an SS Nalgene bottle with squash in it.

This is mine.
Please note... I do not take all this for every walk. This is just the contents of the bag when it's at home. When I'm getting ready to go out I will dump the bits I don't need.
I usually take the smaller knife, leatherman and folding saw, and leave the nessmuk, sharpener and axe.
The rest is paracord (always comes in handy for pulling the buggy over rough ground from the front).
Torch, monocular, compass, map and water not shown, tinder pouch and fire lighting kit, note pad and pen (for when you get a geocache that's in two parts), dental floss, sewing kit, emergency money (in black tub), bandage and wet wipes.
Will normally contain hot crossed buns or a cold sausage sarni.

I saw that elsewhere is a nice wee set up.

I could try it today but wee man tries to help.....

My basic bimble kit - I will often add a saw (but that is usually on my belt kit), flint and steel (belt kit again) Trangia triangle (if the weather is foul) or other kit as and when needed.
Here is a set that is basically designed for a quick trip - notebook, pen/pencil, binos, spare glasses, knife, 1st Aid, waterproof/emergency shelter, insect repellent, sweeties, water/brewkit, compass (more for noting nest sites than navigating
) whistle.
Fire/food/brew materials (if I am taking in stuff and not just making nettle or pine-needle tea), leatherman, tissues, Buff etc are either in my jacket and trouser pockets or on my belt.
The bag is made from an old Tipi that was severely rubbish with a rabbitskin cover that is one big pocket. The design is that of a giant Sporran pouch with a drawcord top.

I have two bimble bags, both old. A 1940's gas mask bag for short outings and a 37 large pack modded into a haversack style for when more gear is needed.
I have a no name canvas haversack (man bag) which holds most things I need for a day trip; wet proof, water, food, 1st aid, little survival tin, flint and steel plus whatever I feel I might need for the day. If I need to pack more stuff, I have a very old lowe alpine bum bag thing (the biggish sort with the holders for sigg bottles). I hardly use a rucksack any more.
Seems SIGG have discontinued them, along with the rest of their stainless steel single walled bottles.
