Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Jester Backpack

Roomy pockets, comfortable shoulder pads, great color.

Main compartment zipper broke Only after 1.5 years. I paid a lot of money for this poor quality backpack. Don't buy!

it's a good bag, but only for holding things like laptop and notebooks. anything else barely fits and i have to shove containers/binder in. it gets very annoying after a bit and i have an olowla that wont fit in the side pocket if my notebooks are in the bag, if you are thinking about this bag i would recommend sizing up to something with more space because this is truly a minimalistic pack back.

I bought this backpack for my daughter and she absolutely loved it and then side mesh pockets where she stores her water bottle started coming apart! Very disappointing!!

Use daily as diaper bag/kid things holder.

Easy to order online and arrived quickly. Exactly as pictured perfect for my high school student

Got this for my daughter for her high school. Product delivered on time and in good condition. Have not used it yet but built looks great and hopefully she can use it for all her high school years. Thank you North Face!

I ordered a Jester Backpack of my own after seeing how well the Jester served my college student for a semester. It holds a lot, seems well made, has good pockets for organizing and comfortably padded straps, and the women's backpack is a good fit for my 5'6" frame. I might take half a star off for the way it falls over if I have items in the small front pocket and not enough weight in the main compartment and the fact that my small-ish water bottle falls out of the water bottle pockets, but those are pretty minor inconveniences for me.

The back part started wearing and tearing so that chunks of the padding came out. I'm not sure how or why since I don't wear anything that would rip it. It is a top heavy bag and constantly falls over on itself. It doesn't protect my laptop on the bottom on top so I'm constantly worried about it's safety - it got dented today. Otherwise, it's good and functional and a pretty color.

I use the backpack for school. I like mostly everything about it. My biggest gripe is with the pockets on the side. If you have anything in your backpack at all it's so hard to get a bottle in!!

My son Loves this Backpack!

It's so comfy and it holds alot of things I have the one in lilac and it fits in my locker well the price is high for a good reason I 100% recommend the backpack if you can afford it best backpack.

the bag is super cute! i got it for college as i heard good things about it. HOWEVER, i started seeing problems not even a month in. the front pocket is on the top half of the bag so even when full, the bag is very top heavy. this makes it a bit uncomfortable to wear when it's full but that wasn't too much of an issue since i never have to walk too far with it. additionally, since it's top heavy, whenever i set it down, it falls on its front face. this might not be an issue for the darker colors, but i bought the light pink so this caused it to get very dirty, very fast. i've tried to get out the dirt but certain parts of the bag it's just not possible. also the fabric on the bottom is starting to wear through, and i wouldn't say the stuff i carry is too heavy. definitely seems like a great bag at first but be cautious of these things, especially if you will have long walking commutes with it or are considering the lighter colors. i've had it for a year and a half and am already looking to replace it. i was hoping it would last longer!

I purchased the Jester Backpack for my 15 year old Granddaughter. She chose the white/ gray combination and finds it very stylish, functional and high quality.

Shoulder straps' material ripped after 3 months. Not worth the money. Wish the quality was better for this price.

Nice backpack - gets so dirty

Replacing my 8 year old Jester backpack with the same one! Got me through high school and college! Love it.

Purchased for high school granddaughter. She loved the color and said alot of kids at school are using this style backpack. She was glad to receive one for Christmas.

Nice color , great quality and prefect size for student

great pack and indeed did purchase again

Love north face they got my product to me within days, really fast

Nice backpack. Bought as a gift for my granddaughter who will be going to college in the fall.

My daughter carries this bag to school. It's comfortable and very efficient for all of her needs.

I love the stiffness of the book-bag, and it is very cushiony. However, I can only fit a limited amount of things in it. I do love the laptop sleeve, but it doesn't allow many items.

cons: Bought this backpack because i specifically wanted something that would stand on its own but this backpack is impossible to get to stand and balance. if there is anything in the small pocket at all it will be extremely top heavy and tip over. I can't even get it to effectively lean against a table or wall as it will usually slide down and lie flat on the ground. the only way for it to stand on its own is if it is completely stuffed with things in the bottom of the large pocket, but even then it doesnt usually stay upright. the small pocket will always flop over when you open the large pocket, so if it is not completely closed it will spill everything out of it which happens often when looking for something. after using this backpack for a year the seams are starting to come apart and the rubber zipper covers have all fallen off. i have had several other backpacks before and they have all been more capable of standing on their own than this one. it seems like they designed a backpack that is actually impossible to get to stand up. pros: can fit my big laptop in the laptop compartment and large water bottles in side pockets
