Customer Reviews The North Face Jester Backpack

Wish the laptop sleeve was made a bit bigger

did not come on time, have to return

Much too small for practical use. We needed a sturdy, comfortable backpack for our high school daughter, but this provides very little room for what she needed. But gave three stars because North Face was easy to return and we ended up with the Recon, which was a better size

Book bag for college. Lots of space beautiful design!

I used this backpack for school. It was okay, but there was not enough room. Plus it is way to expensive for it's features. On the good side of it, it wasn't bad. If I had to chose over good looks I would choose this one.

I don't say it's no good. From what I grew up, nags are larger. Simply, it did not fit my computer. I think it's good for up to high schooler.

I used this for school and it was far too small for me and the strap thing broke

The secondary pocket stops half ways down the bag. So when packed, the bag is top heavy.

I really wanted to love this backpack. Pros - it is very stylish, has good back and strap padding. Biggest con - it's not big enough. I even read others say the same thing and it doesn't have enough space. Was using this for work, I have a 15 in laptop and the sleeve wasn't big enough. Even in the main compartment I could only get about 4 inches worth of files in there before it got too heavy and full. A student wouldn't be able to get more than 2 books in it. The best use of this would be someone traveling light or as a day out bag. I am really disappointed because the quality is nice but it's not big enough and I paid full price.

This backpack was intended for my middle school daughter to use. However, her chromebook will not fit in the laptop sleeve. We had to return for the larger Borealis backpack, which is perfect.

too small

I have this same backpack in a different color and I love it. I was going to get a new one in a different color, but I guess the design has changed, because this one is so much smaller. It also has one less big compartment and it doesn't have as much room in the front pocket as before. The design is super cute, it just can barely hold a binder, let alone textbooks.

Style is great but it’s too small for school, unfortunately

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.
