Customer Reviews The North Face Jester

It's great for school and camping purposes. I go to school in the middle of the Red Tree Forrest so, it's a harsh terrain at times and, it's easy to get to point A to point B with this back.

I love this bag, at first I thought the pockets were too small so I was apprehensive to put things into them in fear they wouldn't fit but they do expand fairly well

love the colors

This bag is super comfortable to wear, however it was much smaller than I expected in terms of how much stuff can actually fit in it. I still can fit a decent amount of notebooks and my laptop, and I love the organization of it.

The backpack is a lot smaller than what I imagined, but the design is so sleek and simple. I have yet to use it but I am excited to start using it!

As another reviewer mentioned, the accessories organizer is sewn in the main compartment for my backpack too. I don't know if this is a defect or if it's an intentional change to the design, but this is not does not match the photos shown. Also, the water bottle pocket isn't quite deep or tight enough for my water bottle and there is no side strap to strap it in place like there is in most backpacks. Besides these two things, it has everything I would expect and like in a North Face backpack.

Overall love the backpack and quality, however, the organizers are now in the main compartment. I too thought they were mistakenly sewn the wrong way and so I contacted costumer service and they claimed that the new Jesters are now designed that way. A bit misleading, if you ask me, and I personally think having the organizers in the main compartment takes away from its maximum capacity and makes the backpack bulkier than it needs to be.

My step daughter loved the bag soooo much It bought be in as a sincere loving part of the family THANK YOU NORTH FACE !!!!

This is a great versatile backpack. I have been looking for something for a while that isn't too bulky, but also is spacious. I have used this already as a carry-on, beach pack, and biking pack. The hip strap is excellent for more support. When I wore a tank all day, it rubbed a little on my shoulders, but I suspect that would happen with anything. So satisfied with my purchase!

I love my new Jester backpack! I got in in blue. I think the colors look great! I feel like it will definitely last me while I'm in college.

Great backpack, but my organizational panel faces the main compartment instead of being able to access it from opening the secondary compartment. Thought it was a fluke and took it into the North Face store. All the new models had the organizational panels sewn in the wrong direction. Did someone drop the ball at Quality Control?

Overall a fabulous quality backpack, but with the new re-design, I think there was a quality control flaw during production. The accessories organizer in the secondary compartment is sewn in so that it faces the interior of the main compartment, not the secondary compartment, like it is shown in the photo. I thought my backpack was a mistake, so I took it into the North Face store to exchange. To my surprise, every women's Jester we went through had the organizer sewn in facing the wrong direction. Salesperson thought it was supposed to be this way until I showed him the stock photo.

Very study and spacious.

Very nice backpack but did not have dedicated laptop sleeve. Upgraded to the Recon.

It is exactly like the picture!! It is so unique, and I love love love the purple accents. The only thing that is really disappointing for me were the shoulder straps. I carry a lot of things, i.e.: laptop, textbooks, etc. , and the straps are not comfy enough to support the heaviness of my backpack. Otherwise, the perfect backpack and the colors are awesome!

This backpack is great! It's perfect for all of my needs from school to work to outdoor adventures. I could not be more happy about this purchase, I love it!

Great bag. I had this bag in black already and wanted a different color. Seems smaller than my other North Face Jester bag though.

Got as a gift for my boyfriend. Haven't given it to him yet, but I'm sure he's going to love it!

Backpack was very nice but the pad found at the bottom of the laptop sleeve is shaped like a pool noodle and occupies some of the laptop storage space which in turn did not meet my needs. I would venture to say a standard 15" laptop would be a tight fit. Long story short returned and purchased the Surge II Transit.

I received this backpack for Christmas and I immediately loved it. It only had one main pocket and a smaller pocket. The main pocket may seem small, but it holds all my stuff and more. I can fit my 13 inch laptop, 1 inch binder, 3 folders, 2 pencil cases, snacks, calculators, and more! However, while I was unzipping the bag in a hurry at school the zipper cut my knuckles every time. You have to be very careful when opening the bag. That's the only downside. Overall, this is a great backpack. Very durable, comfortable, and stylish for the price!!

I am in high school. You can barely fit a trapper keeper / 2 inch binder in this backpack and then it is full. I'm going to keep it because it is very nice looking and I'll use it for something but I'll have to get something else to use for school.

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.

I use i daily to carry around my computer, looking for a new backpack....

Needs a larger broader base of the pack so it stands vs tips.

The backpack is good in terms of support. However, the zipper in the main compartment does not open wide enough making it difficult to put folders or binders in it. It would also have been better if it had pockets in the front strap for metro cards, phones etc. for easier accessibility.
