Customer Reviews The North Face Jester Backpack

The design of this bag is too narrow for a high schooler! You can't fit anything based on the shape of how the bag zips up. She absolutely hates it. Unfortunately we cannot exchange it now for a bigger style. Save yourself the grief and buy a bigger volume bag. She has resorted to taking two backpacks. I miss the old comfortable North Face bags of my college days and do not care for the modern rigidity of their new bags.

This backpack has such a strange design. It's top heavy and very narrow. I bought it for my daughter for school and it doesn't even fit a binder and a lunch box together. Bummer.

after 2ish months zipper snapped. tried getting a new one with warranty, denied. so mad i cant get another one.

It lasted five days of school before it had a hole on the side pocket.

This bookbag is very stylish but not functional whatsoever. The straps are very short and cut in my daughter’s shoulder making it very uncomfortable when she tried it on. Not only was the bag uncomfortable it does not seem very functional with only one full size pocket the front pocket only goes down half way which doesn’t give her any room for things. Would not recommend.

The elastic strap has come out of the holes.

ugaly

This backpack causes so much back pain no matter how you adjust it. The weight is distributed unevenly so unless the front pocket is almost empty, it falls over and you can't fit anything in the back

This pack is way to small to be useful for a student. My daughter is in 6th grade and though she can fit her lap top in it fine, anything else is. a choice. Lunchbox or sweatshirt? Very dissatisfied. Should have gone Borealis or other brand.

Not as roomy as you think. Everything falls out the front pocket if you don't close it every single time. It sits weird when the main pocket is empty and the small pocket is full. Shoulder straps are good but other than that not much. Def not worth the price. I carry around 4 book and my laptop. Some pen, pens, highlighters, small stapler and laptop charger and its JAM PACKED. The small pocket also takes up room inside the big pocket when full so you REALLY dont have any room.

North Face Jester backpacks are normally great but for this one the color was not expected at all. Looks way darker in person, more of a navy or light blue. The zippers are not gold or white but rather gray, and some are an ugly camouflage. So disappointed

This bag is nice and look great but is way too small. My daughter can't fit the necessities for school. A Chromebook, notebook and folder fit and that is about it. Very disappointed.

Why do you make these bags so "gender" specific based on their stupid decoration? Some women want a backpack that fits a woman's body that is not pink and decorated with stupid flowers!!

Had to return after finding holes along seam near shoulder strap. It was a little smaller than I expected as well. Still waiting on the refund. Hopefully it isn't an issue since I had removed the tags and used for a week before finding the holes.

I've been using this bad for 3 months and the pockets are already beginning to tear. I contacted north face and havnt even got an answer. Very disappointed

Purchased for a travel backpack. I was surprised that there were not more pockets / divided spaces inside and found that it sat almost too high on my back even though I adjusted the straps. The product is made very well however and I'm certain for the right person it will last for many years to come.

After normal use for a couple weeks, the daisy chain on the front snapped off without any misuse. There is no way to reconnect it. Without that front daisy chain area working, it really limits how I can use the backpack. I'm very disappointed as I love the look of this backpack, and everything else about it.

The front pocket of this backpack is not the size of the rest of the bag and is situated at the top of the bag so you cannot put anything in it or when you unzip everything falls out and the bag sags. The inside pocket barely fits my average size Dell laptop and if you put anything notebook size in the back pocket it gets stuck under the front compartment. It's not functional, it falls apart the second you open the zipper and cannot hold more than 3 notebooks.

Not happy with at all. The zip of the main pocket opens on its while walking. Its such a pain as i am always scared about my ipad or books falling out.

Looks cute but within a couple of days those strings started popping out and there's no way to fix it it's sealed on the other side so you don't have access to it.

I've had this backpack for about a year and it's already falling apart! The zipper ties have torn off, the elastic band has halfway ripped off (looks super stupid). But before it started falling apart I hated this backpack anyway. The front pocket is only the depth of half the length of the backpack - so it gets front heavy really quickly. It falls over. If the zippers aren't all the way zipped everything in the front will pour out. If you fill the front pocket, then it's hard to get anything into the actual backpack. There isn't enough storage and it's not even comfortable. I literally cannot stand this backpack. I use this for school and it never even carried books - just food and a laptop so it hasn't even gotten much use.

I bought this bag but decided to return it. I sent the return in the mail and have yet to get a refund. It has been almost a month.

they worry so much about having all these stupid pockets you end up not bring able to fit anything in there i have to bring a separate bag to school so i can carry my stuff

The front strap broke after I used it for 2 days. Super disappointed.

It's too narrow to fit a 3 or 2 inch binder. Returned immediately. All the women specific bookbags are just one inch too narrow.
