AOTIAN Mini Nylon Women Backpacks Casual Lightweight Strong Small Packback Daypack For Girls Cycling Hiking Camping Travel Outdoor, Warranty 1-Year

Q: Is it smaller than the average backpack?

Yes, maybe about half the size of the average backpack. It's like a daypack kind of bag.

Q: How durable is this item?

For my purpose I feel it's very durable. Older adult using it for things when biking/hiking. Pretty spacious for me to take a book, snack, keys, wallet. Zippers work well. Adjustable. My only comment to this is it needs bigger side pockets for water bottle both in diameter &a little more height. Works for the slim 9oz bottle, not a12 very well. I ended up putting my water bottle in it is the side pocket.
