I've owned two different North Face backpacks prior to this one. Both served me well during the four years I spent away at college, in Boston. Both were stylish, yet rugged. The sight of these bags suggested durability, and respectable craftsmanship. I still own both of these bags. Yet this bag, the Jester, is rather poorly constructed, and of cheaper materials (polyester in lieu of nylon) than my last two bags. A definite disappointment. And after looking back at the product description for the Jester, I see that the fabric is indeed omitted from the materials section of the listing. I also took a moment and checked the listing for Borealis, which is in fact one of the bags that has survived since my college days. The product page indicates that this bag is in fact constructed of ballistic nylon. (I assume that this is why the Borealis costs more than the Jester...?) On the positive side, the bag is stylish and comfortable. I'm just not sure it will last very long. The North Face, I am disappointed to find that you would put your name on a bag like this. As for Zappos, I love you, as always...but it would have been nice to have included the fabrication/materials listed for this bag on the product page. I'd likely have ordered another bag, instead. Maybe the new Borealis, or Recon.

Great backpack! Good for undergrad, big enough for my mac pro and binder and books! The front pocket has a lot of space for pencils and stuff. I would buy it again!

I tought that this would be a good backpack for my son, a 13 year old skateboarder. I ordered the green checked. The green is fluorescent and very girly. Back it goes.

This is one of three backpacks that I ordered for my boy's back-to-school shopping. My son loves it! His favorite feature is the bungee straps on the outside to keep a hoodie or fleece when the inside is full. I'm sure the reflective patch will make this backpack easy to spot on the autumn nights when the sun sets a little earlier. If you're like me and want something durable and well worth the money spent, this backpack should be considered.

Great backpack! I wear this everyday on my motorcycle and love the strap that snaps around my waist! There are tons of pockets for storage and it is not bulky, very light weight and durable!

Great backpack! Was originally surprised by how stiff the back panel is--- but it offers great support and is good for carrying a laptop. The perfect backpack for novice hikers and students.

Awesome backpack! I just recently used it as my carry-on bag on a plane ride. The rear compartment holds a lot and the front section has a good amount of pockets for easy storage. Possibly my favorite part about the bag, however, was the price and shipping from Zappos. For such a quality bag, the price was amazing and the shipping was ridiculously fast.

I gave this North Face Jester back pack to my granddaughter for Christmas. She was very excited about getting it, she could not wait for Christmas break to be over, so she could show it off to her friends. Well made.

I love this backpack! If you\'re looking to lug around a ton of books, you might want to keep looking, though. It holds my 15 inch Macbook and 2, maybe 3, law books (depending on how big they are). That\'s enough for my purposes, but there are roomier backpacks out there, if that\'s what you\'re looking for (for example, LL Bean). It could also have more padding on the straps and back, but, I think it\'s generally the larger backpacks that have the thicker padding, which makes sense, and it\'s never really compromised my comfort. Also, I\'ve been caught in the rain with this backpack, but my books and computer have stayed dry. Overall, I\'d recommend this backpack--excellent combination of style and functionality!

I recently moved to Boston from Chicago. And since my residence it has done nothing but rain. For those of you that don't know, Boston is a walking city. I commute every day to school carrying my books in a backpack. Previously an EMS backpack until one day it downpoured destroying my EMS backpack and $200 Biology book. Like anyone, I was infuriated. Since my purchase of the North Face Jester, I have had zero problems. I am very pleased with my product choice through Zappos.com.

I love this brand, I'm a college student and have used only North Face backpacks since high school. They last forever, in fact the one I have from almost 10 years ago is still in great shape; I just needed an updated looking one. My only complaint is that the zipper pulls come undone easily, not a big deal though. Definitely worth every penny, durable and well made.

Great Product - I bought this to use a carry-on for a trip. It was perfect for the airplane and for the four days of the athletic event I attended for carrying all I needed. The straps are just a bit wide for me, and I don't think I could carry heavy items all day on a hike. But for what I will be using it for, it is great! And the mesh pockets are also good for slipping your cell phone into to keep it handy.

Backpack - I bought this for use as a carry on and loved it. It's the perfect size for day trips and outdoor events. The 2 side pouches for water or snacks are handy and it is very comfortable. The zippers seem very durable too.

Zappos is the best - I love this backpack! I love the style and the amount of stuff I can put in it. As a college student, I need extra space for all of my books and supplies. This also made a great edition on my canoeing trips where I could easily store water bottles and other misc. things I needed. Zappos did an amazing job with the delivery. I ordered this product Thursday evening and received the backpack on Friday morning. It was faster than going to the store. Thanks Zappos. You're the best!

Well worth it - First off, I love ANYTHING by the North Face because as a New Yorker, I've found that their bags are often made of good quality. The straps are very comfortable and are adjustable to fit anybody (a must for me). This is a bag that you can use for work, play, and school, it's that versatile. Thanks so much Zappos.com!

I like this backpack. This bag is great and very user friendly. I am short 5' 2" so I think that is why the back is a bit uncomfortable for me. But I am still happy about my purchase.
