Customer Reviews The North Face Jester

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 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

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.

Perfect day to day student backpack. Allows for great looks, and fits many necessities for school

i liked

I use this for school because my back kept hurting from the one I was using before. Now my back is better and doesn't hurt as much from all the stuff in my backpack. Great purchase :)

Awesome bookbag!! Great for students, and very lightweight!

The amount of compartments in the front pocket is great. Nice laptop placement in the back, as well as a comfortable ventilated back padding.

Good sized bag, glad I didn't get anything smaller. Using it for the walk commute to my job and it's 100% better than what I was using previously. The straps stay on and it's design helps me stand with great posture! I chose this back for the front bungee design for an upcoming trip that will require rain jackets! I think this be be a valued bag for years to come!

I use this for daily purposes especially school work. I enjoy wearing this back pack everyday and all my friends just love the color texture to it.

This backpack goes everywhere with me. I wear suits and took me a while to decide which backpack would be the best for communing purposes. I am happy to have this one here! Look good and feel light and compact while still having the right amount of space to carry important items!

Love my backpack it looks even better in person. Has lots of room for all my school stuff.

Very nice product. My son loves to carry to school very day.

Great for travel. Lots of space in the bag also.

This is a well designed and confortable backpack.

13 year old son love this backpack for school. So well-made and sleek design.

Great product, makes my commute easy in the mornings wether I'm driving in or on the Metrolink. Pockets are super useful and the straps are so comfortable I forget I have a backpack on. Have used it with minimal weight inside as well as a computer,charger, 2 notebooks and one thick textbook plus writing supplies and water bottle and the backpack holds up solidly.

10/10 would recommend
