Jester Backpack, black, THE NORTH FACE

This bag is nice don't get me wrong but if you seriously need space and you think you need a lot of things DON'T GET THIS BAG. It's seriously misconstruing with the front pocket, thinking you will have extra space in the front but it's literally a half pocket with barely any room. If you fill up the front pockets with things it will heavily weigh the bag down and it will look heavy on the front. With these pictures it looks like it can stand up straight BUT THAT'S A STRAIGHT UP LIE. I have had my jester bag for some time now and I am so so so fed up with the non existent space they give you. This is the ideal bag they say you want for college but if you genuinely hold anything more than a laptop and a couple of notebooks then yeah use this bag BUT ANY MORE THAN THAT, then you mine as well settle for something else. The most frustrating part is that if you hold a lot of things in the front pocket, you will be annoyed to put things in the actual bag because you will have to SHOVE items down in the backpack. I can not tell you how many times I have had to struggle to get something out of the main pocket because these bags were not meant to be flexible. The bag literally droops in the front because if there are a couple of things in the front pocket it will literally sag, and it won't look like these professional pictures. So, ideal if you have an ipad or laptop for school, but if you're old school with notebooks or want to use it casually, I would recommend another bag, because I am about to sell off my old one.

My daughter is loving this backpack for middle school. It is compact but still has room for everything.

Roomy pockets, comfortable shoulder pads, great color.

Bought this for my daughter after her previous North Face backpack straps both broke. This one seems to be of better construction and she is very happy with it.

Main compartment zipper broke Only after 1.5 years. I paid a lot of money for this poor quality backpack. Don't buy!

I bought this backpack for my daughter and she absolutely loved it and then side mesh pockets where she stores her water bottle started coming apart! Very disappointing!!

I wanted something that was well-built and spacious enough to carry a few things I need for work without being obtrusively large. The Jester fit the bill perfectly. After several weeks of use, I'm really happy I went with this one.

I'm a commuter in D.C. via metro, biking, & walking- rain or shine. I needed to upgrade my favorite osprey bag as it lived a long 7 years. I figured an upgrade to a larger backpack would suit my needs best. The Jester backpack is AMAZING! I appreciate the color as well; everyone seems to have black backpacks, but this helps my team and friends locate me a but easier in crowds. The many pockets help to keep things organized & the straps are SO comfortable! I didn't realize my previous backpack was uncomfortable with the weight until I switched, no pressure cutting into my traps & a little bit of ventilation to my back in the heat. Highly recommend the Jester backpack!!
