Customer Reviews The North Face Jester Backpack

This bag is a classic. Simple, durable, comfortable. A must for students, travelers, or anyone just living their lives.

Always a dependable backpack!!

Unless you're only planning on carrying 2 notebooks and a computer I don't recommend this bag. The second pocket is very poorly designed if you want to actually put stuff in it. When you fully unzip the second pocket the whole pocket just flaps down which makes anything in the main part of that pocket fall out. There is almost no access to the bottom of the main pocket because the top part is so compact. Because of the inaccessibility of the bottom part of the main pocket, this gives makes the bag look weird from the outside and makes it unable to stand up on its own if you sit it on the ground. The bag just falls on its side. The straps are very uncomfortable and If you lean over slightly the strap will slip off of your shoulder. I have had this bag for less than a year (just for school) and the wires on the back have already snapped. Overall this bag is very poorly designed and I would recommend getting a different brand or style of bag.

School Backpack for grandson

Pathetic design of the upper pocket makes this bag very bad. It's difficult to explain, unfortunately I bought this bag inspite of several review comments about the exact same aspect not being good. I still bought as nothing seemed a problem from the photos, however the upper pocket really is a spoiler. It creates 2 problems at a very high level of review: (1) it makes the bag look very bad from outside when the upper pocket is stuffed with some stuff, however if the lower pocket is not 100% stuffed, the upper part of the bag will bulge out and bottom portion will cave in, and it looks really absurd / odd. (2) upper pocket really blocks your way to reach the bottom of the main bag compartment easily. I have never seen such a poor design of any backpack. I understand perhaps the intent was to create something innovative, but it has turned out a very bad design at the end (both aesthetically and for practical purposes)

Good and best quality

Perfect for traveling with a personal item. I was able to fit all my items in and comfortably wear the backpack.

This pack is very comfortable. However, the description of a flat bottom allowing the pack to stand on its own is not accurate. The design structure is very poor - the front pocket is not made for anything heavier than a few writing supplies. The front pocket folds over causing any contents to spill out.

Everyone loves it. Needed it for both work and planned travel to Europe this summer. Super high quality, love the color and fits greats feels good to wear. My future backpack will always be north face

Great Reliability

Used on a trip to Disney World to hold water, hats, and other miscellaneous gear. I like that there are only two main pockets. Overall dimensions are good, the bag being relatively narrow, and straps are comfortable. Double handle at the top of bag is somewhat weird. External pockets for water work well for slimmer bottles - I'm not sure how well they would work for something like a Nalgene bottle or larger. I would purchase again.

High quality great color, however kind of on the small side. Too small for my lap top.

The bag is sturdy, compact and spacious! It also looks really smart

I brought this about 4 weeks ago and I love it! My previous bookbag was also from NF and it held up perfectly, I just wanted something new! I love the color of the bag and it has so much space! You need this!!! Nothing but good reviews about this!
