Puns aside, The North Face Jester Backpack is a versatile design that easily transitions between your daily commute and your weekend day hikes. It features a 1,850-cubic-inch capacity main compartment with an external bungee system for any extra shells or outer layers. Side mesh pockets conveniently expand to latch onto your gym bottles and other forms of liquid refreshment. Because the main compartment doesn't feature any internal dividers, The North Face Jester is perfect for hauling around big binders for work and school assignments. A removable hipbelt stows away for those times when you're shouldering a light load.

Gray/Pink Jester | |
| Rating: |  |
After my Eddie Bauer backpack wore out after 6 years, I decided it was time to splurge on a new bag. This is my first North Face purchase, and I'm very happy with it. I'm a college student, and the Jester easily accomodates my books and binders. It also has plenty of pockets in the front pouch for organizing pens, pencils, keys, gum, calc, chapstick, notecards, personal items, etc. And the mesh pockets on the side are handy for drinks. At times, I have also been able to pack my laptop (in a sleeve), plus 2 books. It's very comfortable and easy to carry, even when the bag is packed to the max. I'm hoping this bag will last me through a few more years of college. | |

A strong backpack and a fresh start for my son. | |
| Rating: | |
| After doing without a backpack since the beginning of school I finally addressed the issue with my 18 year old son. He requested a North Face product over our long standing L.L.Bean loyalty. I was eager to accommodate his wishes. It was a sign that school mattered for him to agree to the need for something to carry his books around. It has arrived and I am impressed with the product. I like the outside pocket features. We did not have this with our previous backpack. It appears durable and well made. I believe it will hold up to his rugged handling. The website made it very easy to sit down to and process through. I look forward to future purchases and continuing to support your company. | |

| I love this backpack! If you\'re looking to lug around a ton of books, you might want to keep looking, though. It holds my 15 inch Macbook and 2, maybe 3, law books (depending on how big they are). That\'s enough for my purposes, but there are roomier backpacks out there, if that\'s what you\'re looking for (for example, LL Bean). It could also have more padding on the straps and back, but, I think it\'s generally the larger backpacks that have the thicker padding, which makes sense, and it\'s never really compromised my comfort. Also, I\'ve been caught in the rain with this backpack, but my books and computer have stayed dry. Overall, I\'d recommend this backpack--excellent combination of style and functionality! | |

"The most utilitarian no-messing backpack." | |
| Rating: | |
| My 2nd Jester purchase, it's easy to just get fed up of looking at the same bag for so long ( 5 years!) and order something different, just for the change. Reordering the same one meant I know where the pockets are on the side to throw in keys/retrieve water bottle/grab cell phone whilst cycling, finding corkscrew in an emergency etc.. Ideal for multi uses - I can even get a weeks groceries in it without the need for plastic grocery sacks and still being able to bike home with it all safely stowed. I will buy another in five years time I'm sure - but I will change the colour though, just to be abit adventurous... | |

"roomier than you think!" | |
| Rating: | |
| i had a jansport big student backpack for my first three years of high school, but i was reluctant to get another one just for senior year because they are pretty much useless outside of a classroom. i settled on the north face jester because 1) it's super cute (i have it in terrazzo pink), 2) it's big enough to hold 3 AP-size textbooks, a 1-inch binder, a spiral notebook, and a couple novels (and my nalgene!), and 3) it performs well on weekend camping adventures. those funny little bungee strings on the front seem ridiculous but are actually quite handy for holding a raincoat or sweatshirt. | |

Great bag for the price | |
| Rating: | |
| Bought this for a vacation and for a bag to bring to school. It works great and can fit my laptop in it along with a change of clothes, shoes and a few books. The two compartments on the side work very well to put bottles of water in. I was able to fit 2 20oz bottles of water on each side. It is very comfortable. You don't feel anything digging into your back. It also is good because you can fit a lot of stuff in here without it looking like one of those really hefty bags. I strongly recommend this product. | |

This Backpack Rocks!!!!! | |
| Rating: | |
| I purchased this backpack for my 6th grader. She loves it! It is extremely durable for all of the books she now has to carry with her...the style, color and size Rocks! I like the way the straps adjust to make the backpack more uniform to her body so she isn't hurting her back with all of the weight that she has to carry around. I am very impressed with this backpack and other purchases that I have made with this site and will continue to be a customer for life;) Thanks for the great deals and wonderful products! | |

"Great fit for small frame female" | |
| Rating: | |
| I did a ton of searching trying to find a backpack that would fit all of my books and a 15" laptop. My biggest issue was finding something that is large enough for all the stuff and is not bigger than me. This was the perfect fit, it fits me well, doesn't look too bulky and the shoulder straps don't cover my entire shoulders. So, if you're a small frame female, you may find this review helpful. I know I would've killed for one of these while I was trying to find the perfect backpack :) | |

Great for commuting | |
| Rating: | |
Primary purpose for this pack was for commuting to/from work. Has plenty of space for u-lock, cable lock, pump, spare tube, levers, and lock keys (and extra room) just in front zipper. I always carry those on the front zipper area, then often carry a laptop, purse stuff (wallet, keys, phone, camera, zip bag with jewelry and hair stuff, gym stuff (socks, sports bra, shirt, shorts/pants), and sometimes shoes and sometimes raincoat. Durable and attractive. And, the FIRST backpack in my 30 years that has actually fit me (5' 2.5"), which is very important when riding. | |

| Zappos is the best - I love this backpack! I love the style and the amount of stuff I can put in it. As a college student, I need extra space for all of my books and supplies. This also made a great edition on my canoeing trips where I could easily store water bottles and other misc. things I needed. Zappos did an amazing job with the delivery. I ordered this product Thursday evening and received the backpack on Friday morning. It was faster than going to the store. Thanks Zappos. You're the best! | |

Poor quality in my view | |
| Rating: |  |
I bought this bag because it was comfortable, was black (I use it for work) and because it did not have the 'mesh style' backs and straps that are fashionable now, but which cause some clothing fabrics to pill, scuff and tear. I do not overpack my bag, it has only been used in day-to-day city life and it is 6 months old. However it has split between the padded back and the base - and is now unusable. Because it was bought in a location outside of where I am living now it is difficult to get a replacement. I have not found North Face at all helpful as a company in this respect (i.e. in assisting me with a replacement or refund). Looking at the bag it is obvious that it needs a thicker fabric at the base and a more resilient method of stitching the base to the back. I have been looking at others' comments to see if I am the only one with this problem and I see I am not. Pity because other than this it is a good bag. | |

well built, lack features | |
| Rating: | |
While this is another well built pack from The North Face, it does lack features. It has the one main compartment, and only one other zipped pocket. The water bottle pockets have no zippers, and are only a pouch really. The pack is a little small for school use, especially if you have lots of textbooks, and/or a laptop. As for hiking, it may do as a light daypack. I returned my Jester for a refund. | |

Decent bag, Better Choices | |
| Rating: | |
I mean, I'm not going to attempt to tell you that this bag isn't North Face quality. I've had one for about a year now, and I haven't noticed any serious wear or tear. However, I wouldn't really suggest this bag to anyone. The straps are not very padded, the waist strap is straight uncomfortable, and there is no strap across the upper chest. When filled up, it can really weight you down. I have other bags (Recon, Camelbak Wingman) that manage to carry the same amount without putting nearly the same amount of strain on my back. In short, cheap TNF option, but you get what you pay for. | |
| Zach Branson at Backcountry.com on 02/11/2009 | |
Decent but... | |
| Rating: | |
Like most TNF products this backpack is well made and gets the job done. That said, in my opinion its more than worth the extra 30-40 bucks to pick up a pack like the recon or hotshot if you're set on a north face pack! Best piece of advice to consider when buying gear, spend the extra coin for something that is of better quality and you really like and will use for many, many years! | |

I took this bag with me to the Galapagos Islands and used it non stop for two weeks. THe first day one of the pulls started to fray and I couldn't get it back on. Another did the same a few days later. The stitching around the zipper compartments also frayed.. It did the job, but not as well as I had expected | |

Good school pack, if nothing else | |
| Rating: | |
I've had this backpack for a quite a while now and have been a bit disappointed by it. I will say that it does work great as a school backpack or for overnight traveling. Although it does not have a laptop sleeve built in, a 17 inch notebook will fit (a bit snug - but it will fit) and it does have ample room for a days coursework as well. | |

Okay, but not the best trail choice. | |
| Rating: | |
This backpack gets the job done, and works well. I would only use it for school/commuting, though. It's just not built for the trails. It's got plenty of pockets for organization, and a large main pocket. I wouldn't recommend this backpack strictly for hiking purposes. You can pay a little extra for a much better daypack. | |
