Not ideal for packing a lot

I purchased this bag to take to and from work (firefighter) and the front pocket is pretty floppy and things fall out easily. Great for school and laptop only, not ideal for traveling with gear.

Love this backpack!

This is a great backpack. The straps are comfortable when it's full. My daughter uses this for middle school and I have a black one I've used for different types of days and these are for sure my go to back packs!

Not good for highschool backpack use

Bought this for my teenage daughter for school. It's not as big as other backpacks I've purchased before so wouldn't purchase it again for her.

Great Backpack for school or travel

This is being used as a school backpack this year. It has good space, but it kind of cinches in at the middle and would be better if it opened up big and then allowed you to cinch as much as you need.

Good backpack, but know what you need to carry

I got this backpack at the end of the school year while I was in middle school. It was very good for the stuff I needed. But in high school I had 4 binders. I upgraded to the borealis. They did not fit.

One Bag But Endless Adventures

I've taken my North Face Jester Backpack everywhere - school, the gym, weekend trips, hikes, and even spontaneous getaways. And every time, it proves why it's in a league of its own.This backpack isn't just a bag, I would say it's a reliable partner. The smart design holds everything I need, from my laptop and books during classes to gym clothes and water bottles after. The bungee cord system on the front is surprisingly useful and the FlexVent suspension makes carrying it comfortable even when it's fully loaded. I've thrown it in overhead bins, under bus seats, and even on rough terrain - and it still looks practically new. The durability is insane. Zippers glide like butter, the structure holds firm, and not a single loose thread in sight. What I love most? It's versatile. Whether I'm heading to a lecture or catching a flight, the Jester has never let me down. The North Face didn't just design a backpack - they designed a lifestyle essential. If I had to conclude it in one sentence, trust me, once you go Jester, you won't go back.

Love this bag!

I purchased one of these backpacks and had it for two school years. It has plenty of room for all of your school supplies and is very durable. It has some wear and tear, which is expected and normal. The only thing I would say, is to be careful with the zippers because they can fall off pretty easily. Overall, the bag was very durable, nice, and spacious. Would definitely recommend.
