The North Face Jester Backpack excels as a reliable everyday companion, blending comfort with practical functionality. Its FlexVent suspension system is a standout feature, significantly reducing strain during prolonged wear. Whether you're navigating a busy campus, commuting to work, or embarking on a day hike, the padded back panel and breathable lumbar support help keep you cool and comfortable.
Total Organization is key to the Jester's utility. The padded 16-inch laptop sleeve protects your electronics from bumps and scratches, making it ideal for students and professionals. Additional zip pockets in the front compartment are perfect for smaller items like pens, chargers, or a wallet, preventing them from getting lost in the main compartment. The two water bottle pockets are easily accessible, ensuring hydration is always within reach, and their multi-use design means they can secure other items like umbrellas or small tripods.
One of the most practical updates is its ability to stand unsupported. This feature is a game-changer for daily use, allowing you to easily pack your bag without it toppling over, and keeping its contents stable when placed on the floor during lectures or meetings. Its 28-liter volume strikes a balance, offering sufficient space for textbooks, a change of clothes, or groceries without feeling overly bulky. This makes it a great choice for a daypack or a personal item for travel.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the Jester acts as a capable daypack for shorter excursions, comfortably carrying essentials like snacks, an extra layer, and navigation tools. Its increased recycled content also means you're making a more sustainable choice with your purchase.
Your Jester Backpack requires minimal setup. Upon receiving, adjust the FlexVent shoulder straps to comfortably fit your torso. The shoulder straps should rest evenly on your shoulders, and the backpack should sit high on your back. There are no complex components or assembly required.
Laptop: The dedicated sleeve is designed for laptops up to 12.75" x 11" (32.4cm x 27.9cm), typically fitting most 16-inch models.
User: This backpack is designed for adults and is explicitly stated as not intended for use by children 12 and under.
