Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Jester Backpack

Gorgeous, seems to have a great suspension system, but too small for all the needs of a student. She can fit a binder, a laptop and maybe a notebook inside. Just not large enough. Also the pouch at the top outside creates awkward internal space and contributes to this challenge.

Nice looking backpack just not practical for a college student. It's not big enough to pack books in addition to laptop & any other items you may need for the day. The biggest issue was this is not in any way water resistant. College students are walking on campus rain or shine didn't realize there would be no protection at all & arrive to class with paper homework wet & an English book's pages all damp too. Very disappointed I understand it doesn't say water resistant or water proof in the description but figured it would have some protection. So not a great choice when out in the elements or have a lot of items to put into it just not wide enough

I got this for my daughter for her first year of high school. She can fit her laptop and maybe a notebook or two, which then makes it hard to put her water bottle in the pocket. Needs to be wider.

Looks good but holds only laptop and a few other things. Not big enough for books and school binders. disappointed....

It's an adorable bookbag. Just not the shade of pink I thought I was getting.

This is really cute! On. The smaller side. There isn't a strap around your waist. I'm afraid the white will get dirty quick . Might change the color. Very thick material like most north face bags

I was really looking forward to this bag and it was great in the beginning. As the year went on the water bottle holder started to fray and the backpack itself started to not work as well including zippers and the outside fabric. It was also not big enough for all of the things I need to fit. If you want to fit a coat or even a lunch box in this bag you should go with a bigger pack. Also for hydroflask or larger water bottle users this bag does not hold them well for long periods of time.

I love so much about this bag. I bought it for my daughter to use as her primary backpack for school. The color is right, the size although a little small was what she wanted, and it has places to hold a water bottle. My complaint is those mesh pockets frayed and were breaking away from the elastic immediately. She put her water bottle in one time and it tore apart. Everything else we love. I just wish it had come with better stitching for those pockets.

I chose the daypack over this backpack and returned this one. A great bag if you DON'T need individual storage throughout it.

Too small for a school backpack

The quality is going down compared to the old version.

pretty small

This backpack is beautiful. As a college student who is away from home all day, this pack is too small. I tried packing books and a change of clothes for the gym and snack, I was worried the pack would rip. It's better for light weight hiking or commuting. I did love the color but in the end I returned it and instead purchased the borealis pack in tea green.

Sturdy backpack, but not big enough for high school student's materials. Exchanged this for the Recon model.

I used this backpack for a hiking trip. Because I had items in the smaller pouch up on the top, the bag would constantly keel over when I left it standing. If the bigger pouch is also open, you risk having everything spill out.

Nice light weight with lot of storage.

Backpack is great! Material seems sturdy, durable, and it is very chic. However, as an engineering student, I was disappointed about the size and how easily it gets dirty. I can only fit my laptop and 2 more notebooks max. Also, after a month, it is already very much dirty from the back side even though I take good care of it. Still love it, but really do wish I would have gotten a different color and a bigger size.

Okay so I loved this bag and it's awesome, but small for a book bag for a middle schooler. We returned and upgraded to the surge which is perfect. However nothing wrong with this bag and would totally recommend for younger kids (9+ it would probably fit well) who don't have too much to carry.

It is very comfortable. I have to carry around a bunch of books which make it heavy, but it feels strong and I'm not scared that it'll rip. I do wish that it had more compartments and pockets. Overall good.

This is a great backpack but was too small for my high schooler. We had to return it for a larger size.

Its very small for school use. Only fits one 1.5in binder one notebook, laptop and a few thin folders and does not leave room for a water bottle to fit on the side. I returned it and will try out the Borealis.

Back to school with Jester this year! Its lightweight as light as my previous Patagonia Refugio. But it leaves me with a bit more to be desired especially for storage I carry a ipad and laptop there is a single compartment for both definitely would've liked a front easy to reach kangaroo zipper pouch for the tickets, and zipped side pouch with lanyard/hooks for keys etc.

The water bottle pocket is so small. Nothing fits in there if you have the backpack full.

Great size for a smaller load!
