Customer Reviews The North Face Jester

I bought this for our son for 2nd grade. I was tired of buying a new backpack every year that eventually had holes in it by the end of the year. I wanted something that would last for years.

I bought this backpack for my son because my daughter LOVES her NorthFace backpack. Her freshman year she had a Nike backpack that "exploded" when it bursted at the seams right before Christmas her freshman year. It wasn't tough enough to withstand the demands of a busy college distance runner/Chemistry major. My son is also a runner and a science major too. He knows this pack will withstand the demands of a busy high achieving college student. It not only looks GREAT but is built to last and tough enough to get the job done.

It looks great, and is so durable. i can put all my books in it and it still be comfortable

Everything is great about my product. It was to hold more than I thought, which made me happy. I'm a mom with 2 kids ages 9&10, this product made it easier for me to only need to carry one bag when I have to go anywhere. I was very happy on how comfortable it is to carry also. I have herniated discs and due to the straps and buckle of the book bag, I have been able to carry it without it hurting me or weighing me down.

As a middle schooler, I'll be the coolest kid in sixth grade.

My son got this for a school backpack. It's hands down the most comfortable backpack he has tried on! Middle schoolers have to carry a lot of books and this backpack is tough and durable.

I got this backpack for my son's Freshman year of High School and he really likes it! He did say that it looked a lot bigger online but it's comfortable and he thinks it will work for what he needs it for. It's a good thing they don't have a lot of textbooks because it would not fit more than 1 or 2 since he has a chromebook, binder, folders, and spiral notebooks to carry around. The quality looks and feels amazing!

Feels breathable and SO comfortable

Very nice looking, but only has two pockets. Not a bad size but not great for organizing.

Seems very comfortable and roomy for all my textbooks and school supplies. Laptop sleeve is nicely padded and deeply placed in the bag.

I love the design and the room

I bought this bag to be used this bag for 2 years of college and now I use it for vacations and long days at the beach. It may look smaller than other models of the bag but it fits SO MUCH! I will keep it forever! It worked fully packed as my airline personal item and fit under my seat. I hope you love it too!

Overall, good backpack for heavy day use. Good pockets, overall good quality. Only complaint was that the chest strap popped off it's track within the first few days of use and no easy way to repair, so quality of this feature could be improved.

We needed backpacks for my 12 year old twin boys to take to summer camp for day hikes. Well, this bag turned out to be so “cool” that the boys want to use them as their everyday backpacks when they start middle school in the Fall. My boys are both small for their age and this is the perfect size for them. I recommend this bag.

MY BOYFRIEND LOVED IT??

I bought this backpack after my beloved old northface backpack of many years broke. I was expecting the same quality out of this one, and it definitely lives up to my expectations! Super light weight and comfortable, I'm a college student so I carry many things around with me (laptop, books, binders) all over campus and this backpack is great for that. The only downside is that it is smaller than I expected, the backpack gets slightly narrower at the bottom so my things don't all fit in as nice as they did in my old backpack, but maybe that design is what makes it so lightweight. Would buy again and recommend as an everyday use backpack.

I graduated from university 1.5 months ago and am currently packing up my hometown room to move to NYC. I just emptied out this backpack and I'm not embarrassed to say I got a bit emotional. For the past four years this backpack and a white baseball hat with my university's symbol on it followed me everywhere around campus and the world. Both possessions were beaten and battered but took it like a champ. If you're looking for a slim-profile backpack that can carry your laptop to class and (to the horror of your mother) the bare necessities for a winter break backpacking trip through Africa, look no further. My only regret is that I didn't order it in white so that the kids in my classes couldn't more clearly read its story. A bit of advice as you start college: 1) major in what interests you. Google, Goldman, and McKinsey are looking for smart, passionate kids, and that does not necessitate an economics or finance major 2) Get involved in what interests you, not what you think will boost a resume. No one really cares about your involvement unless (maybe) you're the president, and I can promise you won't be named president unless you actually care about the organization. Any time you spend on an organization you don't care about would be much better spent on... 3) GPA GPA GPA GPA GPA GPA. Anyone who tells you it doesn't matter graduated from college 30 years ago or went down a career path you don't want to follow. Get a 4.0, or at least a 3.70, and understand your GPA will probably slip about 0.10 points from freshman to senior year 4) have fun, but try to take a long-term view on what you do for fun. Day drinking and bottle service are great, but after awhile it starts to feel like you're trying to fill a void with a black hole (trippy!). My favorite memories and most enjoyable moments were spent exploring the outdoors and traveling in S America, Africa, and the Middle East. Maybe that's not your cup of tea, but try to be more creative than frat parties;)

Bought this for my son who is starting middle school this year. I was worried it might be a little too small, as its dimensions are smaller than the one he used for the last three years, but that one was also a little too big for his needs in elementary school. It looks like it will fit all his middle school binders and books just fine. Love the look and the feel of it. Here's hoping that it lasts three years like his last two that we got elsewhere.

Like this product because it can be used in my workplace and personal life.

I use it for work and for school, the bag works great for both

Great product, I use it to carry books and my laptop from class to class in college.

I was looking for a dark green backpack for a carry on for the airplane. It looked darker in the picture but it works great and size is great

For work,school or just on the go this is an extremely comfortable nice compact backpack..

enough space to fill everything without stuffing it full.

The material is strong and durable. I like the way its light weight and fits all my things. Will totally recomend for scho or business.
