Customer Reviews The North Face Jester Backpack

I've had this for 3 years. I use it daily for school, hiking, and traveling. It did have a tear near the zip about 1 1/2 years in when I loaded heavy books. The tear has not increased since then, even though I use it in rough conditions. Over all is a, versatile, and rugged back pack. Although, the outermost pouch makes it difficult to pull stuff out of the larger pouch, when it is fully filled.

not great

This Iconic 28 Litter Rucksack is a great no nonsense backpack to get you from point A to Point B. So if you're looking for something that will be there to get a around Take a look at the Jester.

Wanted something not too bulky but could hold a lot.

Perfect pack for a weekend getaway with lots of room for expansion. Very durable and ergonomic! Just upgraded from an older Jester model that wasn't even worn out after 5 years.. plan to do the same with this pack.

I love the backpack, spacious and perfect for both school and traveling

There were some delays in the delivery due to the weather conditions but it was all good! It's worth waiting for. I have two backpacks the mini Borealis.

It is amazing. I use it for school, but you can do all sorts of things with it. It's a great carry on for flying and it's great for backpacking too. Never had a more confortable backpack< 3

I received this backpack through the warranty program. I had a Jester previously and I loved it. It lasted forever. When the elastic got old, instead of fixing it, I was given a gift card to cover the partial cost of this new version. Let me tell you, it is terrible. It is so front heavy it physically cannot stand up. If I just have my keys in the front pocket, the whole bag will be laying horizontal. The size of the main compartment is significantly smaller, and I can no longer fit all of my stuff. I'm so disappointed in this product.

Great size and quality

Like the backpack definitely will be taking it hiking with me the fact that it's camo it's a plus for me . I would recommend it

Daughter uses daily. Loves it

I returned for another color ONLY because my daughter didn't like the color (I think it's beautiful). So we exchanged and very happy!

Great backpack for work and very comfortable

My 13 year old daughter loves it. Great for school and fits all her after school gear as well.

Good aesthetic fits all my materials nicely and is good quality.

Good quality backpack the aesthetic is nice and a good size for me and fits lots of my materials nicely.

I use it for college. I like all the compartments.

I love this bag perfect for school.

I've had this product for a couple of days and I am already dissapointed in this backpack. It is extremely difficult to fit anything inside the main pocket because the front (small) pocket bulges into the main one from the inside of the backpack, therefore having to agressively shove things to the bottom of the main pocket. Because it is hard to fit anything into the bottom of the bag, the upper half of the backpack looks very wide compared to the bottom half, and makes for an odd, unbalanced look. the straps are also somewhat short, having to loosen them to easily put on the bag. Overall this bag is a 4/10. Good build quality, but I would recommend a different backpack if you are looking for something good for school. Thanks.

The cords on the front of the backpack have already popped out and my son has only had it for less than two weeks. There is no way to reattach the cords myself unless I cut open the lining on the inside of the bag. This bag has two pockets, but the front pocket is only half the length of the bag, so it doesn't hold nearly as much as you might expect. The North Face charges a lot for this backpack and so I expected this to be a lot better than it is.

its the cool backpack in school that all the teens must have.

My brother loves it, fits his school clothes and school supplies

My grandson is a sophomore in high school and thus back pack was his number one choice. He's very happy with it to carry school supplies and his computer.

Nice bag, but wanted it to be more of an outdoors day pack configuration. It feels more like a small work bag or school bag.
