FAQs
What is the maximum laptop size this backpack can hold?
The backpack features a padded sleeve designed to fit laptops up to 16 inches, with the sleeve itself measuring 12.75" x 11" (32.4cm x 27.9cm).
Is the backpack waterproof?
The backpack features a non-PFC Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which helps shed light rain and moisture. It is water-repellent, not fully waterproof, meaning it provides protection in light conditions but may not keep contents dry in heavy downpours.
What is the total volume of the backpack?
The total volume of the THE NORTH FACE Jester Everyday Laptop Backpack is 28 Liters.
How do I clean my Jester backpack?
For cleaning, it's best to spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals, as this can damage the fabric and the DWR coating. Air dry thoroughly.
What is the FlexVent suspension system?
The FlexVent suspension system is an ergonomic design endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association. It includes flexible injection-molded shoulder straps, a padded mesh back panel, and a breathable lumbar panel, all designed to provide maximum comfort and ventilation.
Can children use this backpack?
No, this item is not intended for use by children 12 and under. It is designed for adult use.
What material is the backpack made from?
The backpack is made from tough, recycled polyester fabric.
Troubleshooting
Backpack feels uncomfortable or causes shoulder strain.
Adjust the FlexVent shoulder straps to ensure they sit properly on your shoulders. Distribute the weight of contents evenly within the main compartment. Ensure the lumbar panel is resting comfortably against your lower back.
Laptop doesn't fit in the padded sleeve.
Check your laptop's dimensions. The padded sleeve is designed for laptops up to 16 inches, with sleeve dimensions of 12.75" x 11" (32.4cm x 27.9cm). Larger laptops may not fit properly.
Items inside get damp in light rain.
While the backpack features a DWR finish, it is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a separate rain cover for added protection. The DWR may also wear off over time and can be reapplied with a suitable DWR-restoring spray.
Backpack tips over when placed down.
Ensure contents are distributed evenly, especially heavier items. The stand-up design works best when the backpack is loaded symmetrically. Avoid placing all heavy items in one pocket.
