NOT good if you use the side pockets
I had to change my old NorthFace backpack for a lighter one when I started having a longer commute. I liked the Jester because it was pretty lightweight. After 3 days of using it I lost my Contigo water bottle.I then noticed that it was due to the huge side pockets that according to NorthFace customer support these are made to retain 32oz bottles. Just crazy! Side pockets are not made well, the elastic is not strong enough to hold a normal size water bottle. I'm now using 2 hooks to lock the new water bottle to the backpack, very inconvenient.
Very Utilitarian Backpack
I use this backpack during the weekdays and it fits all my books and gear for college. It's very spacious and can carry quite a lot. The backpack is also comfortable and supportive. Your back doesn't feel strained when carrying a lot. Took it hiking twice already and it will do it's job fantastically. You don't feel like you're wearing it. There are a lack of smaller pockets to carry smaller stuff without it getting lost or crushed in your stuff.
For a middle-schooler
i ordered this book bag for my brother as he is going to start 6th grade. he loves this book bag very much. it is very durable and has nice padding. i bought this in the women version for school a few years back for myself and i used it for school for 3 years. i am planning on buying another one for myself this year. if you are looking for a book bag thats going to last then NORTH FACE is where to go to get one. i am glad he got a nice book bag thats going to last him a while. and if you take care of it it'll last you for like 3-4 years or more before you have to buy another one. the price was totally worth it for mine and my brothers.
Perfect Jester Backpack
The Jester backpack caught my eye of course by color. I am having baby and did not want the typical diaper bag! I am having a boy so the color was perfect. I didnt doubt that it would be the perfect bag for him. We all have The North Face backpacks in our family, from the borealis, surge, recon and now the jester for the our new addition! The backpack is packed and ready to go with the babies things for his arrival!
Good size, poor construction
After a few weeks of using the product, the seem on the divider for the laptop sleeve start to come undone. After a few more weeks, the reinforced upper part of the seam is completely removed from the divider itself making it cumbersome to load/unload my laptop into the divider sleeve.
London Fog/Chive Color is actual different color
I am only giving this a negative comment based on color! I ordered the london fog heather. The part that appears to be an off-white color *the middle section" is actually a zinc grey color. It does not look like this in the picture on here!
Love it
My tent just flooded at a emergency shelter Where I am doing relief work and this backpack is the only thing water did not get in. Thank you north face!!!!!!!!
Perfect backpack
This thing is like another appendage to me, I never leave my dorm without it. It seems small but can actually hold quite a bit. I like it even more because it has a sleeker profile on the back instead of a large protrusion like most bags. The outside material is really durable and the straps are very sturdy, I beat it to hell on a daily basis and it takes it like a champ. There are a few cons I must say: The inner liner is not as strong as i hoped it would be, and feels cheap. The water bottle holsters are wack, as well, and can't accommodate larger bottles.
Another Great One
I had the Borealis model before this one and I was completely satisfied with it. Unfortunately it was stolen from me and so when I looked to replace it I immediately came to NorthFace. I thought I should try something different and since I am using it mostly for school and day hikes I though I might go a little smaller. I purchased the Jester and found it to be both light and comfortable with easily adjustable straps that let me find the perfect fit. It doesn't have quite as much storage but more than enough for my laptop books and folders.
amazing!!!!

From backpacking to common day this thing has it all, comfort durability and let's not forget the world renowned name . I will never own another pack other than a northface.
