A removable hipbelt stows away for those times when you're shouldering a light load.

Anonymous - 2009-11-06Great bagpack
The bag is about the size I want. And its design is prefect that even when I put three books and laptop did not feel heavy.
Patrick - Euclid OH - 2009-11-03Good fit. Quality backpack.
This North Face backpack was planned to fit the shoulder and back. Despite having purchased LL Bean in the past, I returned a recent purchase because it felt awkward. I wish the small pockets inside the pack would have a snap or some closure to prevent small items from falling out -- my only reservation. Altrec proved a reliable seller, and I'll come back to buy again.
Happy mom in OH - 2009-11-02Loves it!
My daughter decided that she needed a backpack once she got to college. She picked out the Diesel blue/El Rio Blue and I had it sent directly to her at school. Ordered it on Thursday and she had it Monday afternoon. She said it is perfect and loves the color, I liked how easy it was to order and have it shipped so quickly. You have made one Clemson Tiger a happy girl. Thanks

Tina Pepe - 2009-10-17A strong backpack and a fresh start for my son.
After doing without a backpack since the beginning of school I finally addressed the issue with my 18 year old son. He requested a North Face product over our long standing L.L.Bean loyalty. I was eager to accommodate his wishes. It was a sign that school mattered for him to agree to the need for something to carry his books around. It has arrived and I am impressed with the product. I like the outside pocket features. We did not have this with our previous backpack. It appears durable and well made. I believe it will hold up to his rugged handling. The website made it very easy to sit down to and process through. I look forward to future purchases and continuing to support your company.
Sharon K - 2009-10-15Great back pack, durable and long lasting!
My daughter has back problems and this backpack has been the most comfortable to for her to wear, it seems to evenly distribute weight even when full.
Anonymous - 2009-10-03Love this North Face backpack
My son loved this backpack so much for school that we ordered one for his cousin, who also loves it. Great styling and colors, comfortable, holds everything, and kids think it is very cool.
Anonymous - 2009-09-30Great Choice
This is an excellent backpack for high schoolers! I'm a junior and I bought one in diesel/el rio blue and it's the cutest color. I get lots of compliments. If you want to get a North Face backpack, this one is a good deal, it's a lot less expensive than some of the other ones. Very sturdy and holds all my stuff. Altrec.com is the best place to buy this backpack-free shipping and no-strings-attached.
ShaCora M. - 2009-09-29love it!
This was the first book bag that didn't hurt my back when I had a heavy load. This back pack is everything I need! Best back pack I've ever had. I'm sticking to North Face.
Laura V - 2009-09-26Excellent backpack - exactly what I needed
This backpack is perfect - it is stylish, lightweight, and fits everything that I need. It does not look awkward when I have all of my books piled inside of it, and somehow it does not hurt my back like other backpacks I have had in the past. North Face is the way to go, and for the price of this backpack, it was well worth it!
Anonymous - 2009-09-23excellent quality
Just the right size - large enough to carry 3" binders and small enough to easily carry.
swain sulker - 2009-09-17It's a High quality gear for a great price!!!
Very Durable, and GREAT Price!
I got the Jester backpack in Brown Plaid on sale and it's great. I might have paid twice the price in stores or on another site. It's comfortable when carrying heavy loads and also has a lot of storage. You won't find any other high quality gear at a price like this.
CMireles - 2009-09-12Most effiecient delivery!
When I ordered my NF Backpack, I was concerned that I would not receive it because I was having it sent to my Dorm! Though, it successfully delivered and I have been using it ever since! I love my Backpack, thank you!!
Charles - 2009-09-09Quality! Great price too!
I got the Jester backpack in woodland camouflage on sale and it's great. I might have paid up to double what I paid for this thing. High quality gear. It's comfortable when carrying a heavy load and also has a lot of storage to boot.
Anonymous - 2009-09-07Well-built backpack!
I ordered this backpack for my middle schooler after reading a review of backpacks which rated it high. We are satisfied with the sturdy zippers,designs, and compact look. So far, holding 2-2" binders, spiral notebooks, and supplies with space for a textbook.
Anonymous - 2009-09-01Awesome!
I chose it because one of the reviews here said it wouldn't make me look like a turtle. And it was right. Now I can walk around school laughing at all those turtles while I have a very stylish backpack.
Eileen - 2009-09-01Great Backpack!
This is an awesome backpack!! It fits a ton of stuff in it even though it seems pretty small..and it doesn't strain the back as much as other backpacks would.
Anonymous - 2009-08-24Loved IT!!
I ordered a North Face Jester backpack for my daughter and she just loved it. It was durable, slim (but big enough to hold a lot), and had a very appealing look to it.
Not to mention how excited my daughter got when it arrived.
Danielle - 2009-08-22Not exactly what I expected but still good!
When I first received my jester, I was unsure of the hard back. But I am a freshman and will be walking a lot so I guess I need it
S. Hollis - 2009-08-20BUILT TO LAST!
This is the best backpack I have ever purchased. I bought it for my son in 6th grade and it held up to lots of abuse and it still looks great, it will probably last for years. I liked so much I bought another one for one of my elementary sons.
Matthew Hinkle - 2009-08-14Great Quality and Value Backpack
This backpack is total North Face quality and exceeded our expectations in every way.
The fit and style is outstanding and the coloring is better in person than online.
The pictures online also do not adequately indicate how roomy and functional this pack is!
Anonymous - 2009-08-13Great Service
Great Service with free shipping. I ordered the backpack right before my child left for college. It arrived in time - with free shipping. Exactly what she wanted and I needed.
Judy Bostwick - 2009-08-13Great!!!
I am very pleased with the back packs construction, with the padded backstraps that takes the pressure off the lower back. I have purchased the Northface backpacks for all of my grandchildren over the last few years.
Christopher - 2009-08-06You will not look like a turtle
One of the main features I was looking for was that the backpack wouldn't look huge and goofy when it was full of stuff. I can pack a laptop, charger, and three textbooks and it looks like some of my other backpacks when they are empty. It's really comfortable and feels sturdy. Looks great too, in plaid.
debra a young - 2009-07-29hi
great selection- very pleased with the options and pricing
Anonymous - 2009-07-28great looking backpack

Love It - 2009-04-29Oak Leaf Beige Jester Backpack
I love this backpack it is so comfortable i wouldn't trade it for anything! I love the color you can't see dirt on it because its beige. I really love it!! Buy it!!!
Anonymous - 2009-04-27Oak Leaf Beige Jester Backpack
A great backpack, and its a cute print for girls. VERY durable. I bought it for college and it holds a lot. I will now always buy "the north face" brand for now on.
Dana S. - 2009-03-21Very durable, teens love it!
I have 3 of these packs, one for each of my teenagers. They have held up so well I decided to buy one for myself! My son has used his since freshman year (he's a junior) and it still looks good. Zippers are very sturdy and don't seem to break no matter how much you stuff into the pack. The price on this site was outstanding which just made me even happier with my purchase!!
Kelley - 2009-03-16PERFECTION
Extremely comfortable straps, adequate book space, nice organizer on the front. Would recommend to everyone in need of a book bag!
Gina Cortese - 2009-02-25Fantastic Backpack!
I got htis for my 9 year old nephew and he absolutely LOVES it! He picked the camo design...so cool for a kid! He especially loves the bungy cords on the outside that can hold a jacket or sweatshirt in a hurry, AND he LOVES that he can carry a bottle of water in the water bottle pocket on the side! Fantastic Backpack!
Amanda - 2009-02-23Great Backpack for Low Price!
When I received my backpack, I discovered it was much roomier than I had originally thought. I am a pre-nursing student so I carry a huge amount of books. They all fit in there, with some room to spare. The shoulder straps are very comfortable, but not squishy. It distributes the weight well, as my backpack now feels lighter on my back.
A. Officer - 2009-02-15Love this bag!!
I gave this to my sister as a gift when she left for the outback!! She loves this bag, it's so versatile! It's big enough to hold all of her books when she's in class, but sturdy enough to handle the Australian wilderness on the weekends. I think I'm going to buy one for myself!
Samantha McGeowan - 2008-11-28Perfect!
Its the perfect size, holds everything I need.. which can tend to be a lot. Its comfortable and can withstand pretty much anything. The North Face is an excellent brand as I have many products from them. On another note, Altrec also provides great service. My bag arrived within a day or two of ordering it and they provided a better price then the normal co. I shop from! Keep it up
Xue Bai - 2008-11-04Great Backpack
A little bit bigger than I thought though. But still, it's light and useful. Especially for packing heavy college books and binders around.And one more important feature, it's sleek!
Anonymous - 2008-10-22great backpack!
Really great for school. It holds all my binders and has plenty of room for everything. I really recommend it!
Anonymous - 2008-10-15Perfect Fit
As a college student I carry all of my books, notebooks, folders, etc. in this backpack all day. So far it has been GREAT! It's very durable, comfortable, functional and has enough room for the majority of my stuff (minus my laptop). I would recommend this to any student looking for a "good" backpack.
Anonymous - 2008-10-15love it!
I just got mine like 2 weeks ago and I love it! It has a lot of room to store school stuff or its great for taking with you on a hike.

roger - 2008-09-10Excellent daypack
I used this pack for a month trip to Thailand to carry a 35 DSLR camera and two lenses plus assorted other gear such as light weight rain jacket etc and it worked great, just the right size only wish the waist belt would have been wider.

Fantastic support system makes carrying tons of books a breeze...and its just so COOL looking!

I ordered two jester backpacks and they are very good, and the prices were amazing comparing to if I had shopped in the stores. I will continue to make my orders for my children school supplies through this site. Both my children and I are very please with the products we have purchased

I use it every day on my commute to work. Plenty of space without being big and bulky; very comfortable to wear with padded shoulder straps; and it looks great! Love the Asphalt Grey/Yellow.
INDRANI BAGCHI - 2008-04-27Great for School
I bought this backpack for my daughter when she went to college. She loved it.The size is perfect for carrying binders etc and the style is trendy.I then bought another one for one of my college going niece.

My daughter loves the backpack and is using it regularly in her college. The size is perfect for her binders and other stuff.
John - 2007-11-25This book was awesome. Small yet effecient
It was pretty good.
Anonymous - 2007-10-30Good for teens to look cool while carringt all the necessities.
I like my jester back pack because the waist buckle helps to hold it up. It can hold my composition books, my binder, and my two pocket folders. It's just the right size for me I'm in JHS 7th grade.
Anonymous - 2007-10-16Great!
I actually could not find the Jester backpack in Asphalt/Sparrow Pink ANYWHERE but I saw that I could get on a list to receive an email when altrec got some in stock so I did & they really did email me as soon as they got more in stock. My backpack was here very quick for a back ordered shipment! :)
paula - 2007-09-27i love it!!
My jester backpack is amazing! This backpack carries everything without hurting my back one bit! I definitely recommend it to anyone!
Danielle....mother of 4 - 2007-09-12This Backpack Rocks!!!!!
I purchased this backpack for my 6th grader. She loves it! It is extremely durable for all of the books she now has to carry with her...the style, color and size Rocks! I like the way the straps adjust to make the backpack more uniform to her body so she isn't hurting her back with all of the weight that she has to carry around. I am very impressed with this backpack and other purchases that I have made with this site and will continue to be a customer for life;) Thanks for the great deals and wonderful products!
