Customer Reviews The North Face Jester

I just recently got a job as a summer camp counselor so I needed a backpack for the summer and also for college in the fall. I came across this backpack on the North Face website and fell in love with the print. I looked into it a little more and decided to but it. After using it for a week, I can truly say that I love it. Although it is a little bit long I think it will become more fit to my body and it wont be as long as it was originally. It fits everything I need plus some, and I love the outside pockets and straps. This backpack is super convenient and definitely worth the buy.

I had a Jasport backpack that held up great for many years. It was time to get a new one and decided to go with North Face, a brand I like. I'm surprised and concerned about some of the reviews that said it was starting to fall apart at the seams and hope that doesn't happen to me, but I believe there is a lifetime warranty, which is nice. I checked the measurements carefully to make sure it's the same size as my old Jasport, which is perfect for hiking and over night stays. Seems i'm the only review that is not using it for books and school, but for actual backpacking! Ha. I got the black. It's cute sporty. I love the water bottle holders on the sides, light reflection in the front, and that it's made for women. The big silver zippers are nice to grab on to and add to the look. It's the perfect size for me. It does hold my laptop and big cosmetic bag, overnight sweats, etc. I was even able to cram a pair of shoes in there also. It was snug, but it worked. Would have liked a smaller pocket in front, but over all, I like it. Its a lighter, thinner material, than my old one, but seems durable like a rain coat. I assume it's waterproof and all that, but haven't tested it in weather just yet. Anyway, hope this helps someone. :)

I have had this backpack for pre-school in 2005(crazy right) and for it being 8 years old it still is in great condition like before. There is one main compartment for storing books,binders,ect. and there is an organizing pocket.

I got this backpack because I desperately needed a cute, new backpack that would hold up well. The ion blue plaid is gender-neutral, in my opinion, and I like it because I'm not a girly-girl. I've gotten lots of compliments and it isn't bulky at all!!! I waited awhile to see how the backpack would hold up and it's great!! I have put 8 folders, 2 binders, 2 notebooks, a bunch of writing utensils and a book and it hasn't ripped or torn. I 've worn this in the rain and nothing got wet. Outside isn't a problem at all!! I have worn it in rain or shine and I love it bunches!!

Everything about the product is great I wished it had another pocket/ was a little bigger

Product is good but if you have a lot of big textbooks that you have to take to classes it might be a little hard to fit everything. Overall I love it though

Bought it for school and it's big enough for a laptop and books. Lots of pockets to put small stuff in.

so nice

I really love the design of the backpack as well as it's durability! My only complaint is that the front pocket is too small to comfortably fit a lot of things. But overall it is a great pack!

Light weight and durable. Moreover , a complete laptop bag as well

I bought this for my nephews Christmas. He had to have The North Face backpack. The backpack is good quality and will hold everything he needs.

I checked out a friends Jester before buying this online. Sadly, the cinch straps on the sides are missing. Also, the back is not as hard or sturdy as his. I'm not sure what model I selected that caused this variation. The main compartment zipper only goes down about 1/3 the length of the backpack and the opening is about 1/4 smaller than the width. Getting things in and out is a bit frustrating. In spite of these drawback, its still a great pack.

Gave it to my boyfriend since it's lightweight and it would be good for light traveling!

The color of the bag seems darker than the picture.

I use this backpack for school. Needed something with smaller compartments/pockets to put small items. helps me stay organized

I like what I got

I genuinely love the book bag, I would definitely buy it again. My only issue is that when you put it on, it can be a little high on the shoulders so there is a lot of weight. But then again I do wear it kind of high but overall great.

I use thiss for school and traveling. It fits everything I need and holds up very well.

The backpack itself has a very attractive design. If you want a really basic, sturdy backpack that you can use for a couple of years, I definitely recommended The North Face brand. Although the backpack may take some time to break in. It comes very flat, which you may have to deal with for some time. Other than that I love the layout!

I used this for school, it's a nice backpack with great quality, just a little small

It arrived when it was supposed to, and is in great condition so far. It's early in the usage but I feel it'll hold up for a long time.

Very attractive but still sturdy and durable.

Too small for a zippered notebook and lunch bag. Needs to be wider for the notebook. Not for school use.

love the bag has great space and plenty of compartments. the only thing i wish you guys has is a laptop compartment thats TSA compliant. Like how swiss gear has there scansmart backpacks.

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