I've used one almost every day for the last few years (bike commuting to uni/work, day walks etc.)
I like it - simple and durable enough that it'll probably outlast me.
Would I recommend it? Depends what you're looking for in a bag. For longer day walks or where you're carrying a heavier load, the hip strap doesn't really do much so you can end up with sore shoulders. If you pack poorly, things will poke you in the back. Your back will also be sweaty.
That being said, I still like it. But if I did more day walks I'd probably get something closer to an osprey-style bag.
Only those who live on the edge can see the view
