Customer Reviews The North Face Jester Backpack

Looks sturdy enough to last the school year for my high school softmore.

Pretty color combinations. Being used for college so the jury is still out as to whether is will be large enough. Can't go wrong with the quality so no complaints there. Straps were a on the thin side. Would have been nice if they were wider and more cushioned.

I use this backpack for school. Usually im carrying a three inch binder and two or three text books. This backpack has been holding up very nicely and the padding on the shoulders and back really prevent back pain. Two minor things I would change. One the backpack does not have a flat bottom so it will not stay up if you place it on the floor or table. Because of not having a flat bottom, the bottom doesn't expand much really limiting the space in the backpack. Usually I can fit my binder and two text books (one bigger and one small one) but over all a very nice back pack and I was very happy with my purchase.

It has a lot of pockets. Its also light on my back which is good. In terms of using it for school, the pockets are a definetly a plus but not a lot of space for mmore then three binders

My granddaughter uses this for her books and her lunch. She's so excited that it's different than all her friends.

the backpack contours very well to my back and is very comfortable on my shoulders

I love the vibrant colors of this pack. It has supportive cushioning to help shoulders when carrying heavy loads, and has plenty of pockets to put smaller stuff in. I can't wait to start using it in the upcoming school year!

Durable yet cute! Feels very comfortable and has actual space. And wait to go to university and use it.

I just bought this backpack for school and I am going into freshman year... I love the outside and the organization in the main pocket is great however there is just not a whole lot of room in the main compartment... I could fit 2 2" binders in it but it was snug... Overall still like just make sure you won't need a roomybackpack

Great back pack., not only looks good but holds everything I need.

When you first try on this backpack, it sits a bit high on your back (which may not be everyone's type-of-look) but the straps can be easily adjusted to your liking. The part of the backpack that sits on your back is very stiff / holds its shape, which i personally like because it helps with my posture. Many people have expected extra compartments on the smaller-front-compartment of the backpack, but these extra compartments (for holding pencils, gum, etc.) are actually located in the main compartment. Although it would've been nice to have it in the smaller-front-compartment, it really doesn't make a huge difference for me. Also, because there is a piece of fabric that separates the backpack and the thick-portion of the straps, it is always a bit more difficult for me to put on the second strap (because it usually will get flipped to face the opposite direction, if that makes any sense). Overall, i love the design and fit, but I've given it a 4/5 because there are certain features that may be bothersome. I personally like how it looks, but its not the "cutest" backpack you could get. I don't mind since going in, I was going for a good-quality backpack rather than a cute-but-not-so-great-quality-and-inexpensive backpack.

This backpack is really great. I love that the back is stiff and it's comfortable to wear. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the straps are kind of rough, so I do not recommend wearing a sleeveless shirt with it, as I did.

I love this backpack. It's wonderful for all the text books and binders I have to carry around. It's comfortable and fits a lot of stuff.

I use this backpack for school in Michigan weather. It's strong enough to hold my books but can also withstand the crazy weather changes. Plus its really easy to clean! Would recommend

I'm in love. Its smaller than I expected but it fits everything I need it to. I would say I would buy it over and over again, but it seems to be durable enough to last a lifetime!

I use the backpack for school, for adventuring, and for short trips. Backpacks in general just make everything easier to carry but this backpack is very padded -- along with being hands free -- and your shoulders don't hurt. The only thing I don't like is that the backpack doesn't have a flat base so you can't just sit it down without it falling over.

I bought this backpack for my first year of college. It's not very large but there's a decent amount of room for your things and it's very sturdy. It would be a bit better if there were three pockets rather than two but all in all it's a great buy.

I love this line of bags! This is the second jester I have bought, and my other one lasted me 4 years. It's still good to use I just wanted another one.

Love the look and departments! Excited to use it in the new school year!

First of all when I saw this come in the mail I knew I made the right choice. The colors were absolutely beautiful! I go to school in the city and I needed and backpack that would carry all of my books and dance wear for the day, but also something that provided support for my back. This does exactly that. I have not experienced the back pain I have had with previous bags like jansport and the shoulder padding is fantastic. 10/10 would recommend.

Even though it is way smaller and has less room than I bargained for, I would buy it again for leisure purposes--but definitely not Nursing school.

This is a very nice backpack. Looks great, appears to be very sturdy and my high school daughter is very happy with it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is a little smaller than I expected it to be. Hopefully it will work out fine.

The Jester is a great style backpack, especially for short trips or for things like school. It's a little smaller in size, so it's not something I take on a camping trip longer than a day or two, but it's a good size for all the daily stuff I use it for! It's got a lot of pockets and compartments on the inside as well for extra storage.

My daughter got this to start high school.....we love the quality and color.....it is a bit too small for all the binders she needs but she likes it so much she is making it work!!

I bought this backpack as I started college and so far it has everything to meet my needs. The large pocket fits multiple textbooks, the small pockets for supplies and organization are super helpful, and there's even a laptop pocket and perfectly sized side pockets for water bottles, etc. My only criticisms would be that I would prefer a little more padding on the laptop pocket, and I would have liked the school supplies pockets to be in the front section instead of the back (but that's just my personal preference). Overall this backpack is more spacious than it looks and comfortable on my shoulders and not really lacking in anything.
