Would this be suitable for an 8 year old?

Yes! Roomy enough for a few books, binders, and a jacket. It has a padded sleeve for a Chromebook, or tablet.

Would use this for a gym bag. Will need to fit shoes, shorts or sweats, shirt, towel and hygiene items. Is this big enough?

Oh absolutely it would be big enough I use it for college and I fit my computer three notes books and about five medium size books inside of it. Plenty of room and lots of smaller pockets for hygiene stuff as well.

Es resiste y si es original, tiene buen tamaño porque es grande, aunque me gustaria que tuviera más compartimientos para guardar, ya que fue un regalo para alguien que la usa para la escuela.

My son uses it daily for his elementary school from past 1 year. Its a value buy. Quality is good and so far no issues. It has sufficient storage and padding options.
