Description

NEW—with updated fit and features. Joking aside, The North Face Jester Backpack is a versatile design that transitions easily between your daily commute and your weekend day hikes. It features a 1,830-cubic-inch capacity main compartment and secondary organizing compartment with an external bungee system for any extra shells or outer layers. Side mesh pockets conveniently expand to latch onto your gym bottles and other forms of liquid refreshment. Because the main compartment doesn't feature any internal dividers, The North Face Jester is perfect for hauling around big binders for work and school assignments. A removable hipbelt stows away for those times when you're shouldering a light load. No one will call you a fool with the Jester on your back, especially if you use its crisscross bungee cords to stash a wiffle ball bat.

Jester Daypack Backpack 4.8 5 187 187
Amazing product! I needed a backpack that could carry heavy books while still looking pretty. This is the perfect backpack if you are student! It looks amazing and it is very comfortable. I would for sure recommend this product. January 25, 2012
Best good i recommend to buy this.I got the reasonable value for my product.It was for less price than in the merchant webiste.I got the best quality.it was easy to use.it had great design I suggest everyone to shop through altrec.com December 9, 2011
AMAZING i love this backpack!! best bag I have ever used. the quality is very nice. top notch in fact. i bought the pink one and i love it, so girly. i get a lot of complements on it!!! November 2, 2011
Good purchase Bought this backpack for my son to carry to elementary school and it works great for him...not to big or heavy. I do wish it had a zippered interior compartment. September 21, 2011
Exceeded delivery expectations My high school son wanted a northface bookbag for school and when we went to the store they were over $80.00. I wasn't going to spend that much on a bag that he was not going to take care off, so I started surfing the net. I found the same bag in defferent websites but this one was the least expensive. I was a little dissapointed because it was back ordered, so I had to wait for almost one month. I bought it anyway being that it was a good price. To my surpirise the bag came two weeks earlier...VERY HAPPY...He loves the bag and eventhough it has only been a week since we got it the bag seems to be durable...THANKS! September 16, 2011
1 more Love the backpack but it could use 1 more pocket. Nice sized compartments, The plaid green design is awesome. Contstructed from a very nice heavy material that I expect from North Face September 8, 2011
great for school this is the second north face jester backpack i have purchased from altrec. the first one was for my daughter who is in high school and this one was for my younger daughter, a fifth grader. it works great for both with plenty of room inside for both age levels, great style and versatility! it has worn very well...the first one we ordered is going into its third school year and still looks as good as the one we just received! August 28, 2011
nice book bag Confty, has a lot of space, organized, great quality, perfect for high school. And the waist belt makes it stable so if any body tries to take ur book bag it would be difficult August 26, 2011
Great buy This backpack works great for carrying books to and from class. It could be a little larger but works great for me and my everyday activities. North Face provides great quality products that are super durable and will last forever. This bag is a great value for the price. I would for sure recommend it. August 24, 2011
Great backpack for middle schooler I purchased this backpack for my 13 year old (8th grader). This was a perfect size for her tall/thin frame. She is 5'5" and weighs 110. Great support and lightweight. She loves the style as well. This pack has several compartments and a side bottle holder that is perfect for gatorade, water, etc. Would definitely recommend. August 23, 2011
North face Jester Backpack I love this backpack! What's not to love? I originally bought this for my son but loved the color so much decided to keep it for myself and buy another for my son. Great for all the school gear! I like the extra buckles to keep the weight evenly distributed on your body. I am a big North face fan and this did not change that! I would recommend this for school and the gym! August 16, 2011
Great backpack! I actually bought this backpack for my daughter who will be going to college this fall. She loves The North Face brand and this backpack was such a bargain we couldn't resist. Great color choices as well. August 9, 2011
GREAT!!! This back pack is a great size for school. There are plenty of places to store things other than books. It is very durable. Everyone in our family has a North Face back pack and they have all been great. August 7, 2011
Amazing! This backpack just came in and it is just so beautiful! Honestly I used to roll my eyes at the north face brand but you have to step back and realize: these backpacks are so popular yet expensive because they are OF EXCELLENT QUALITY. My sister bought one last year and its still in perfect condition. My other $25 backpacks wouldn't even last past my first semester. I say its worth the extra few dollars if it will last forever. Overall this backpack is amazing. August 5, 2011
PERFECT SCHOOL/EVERYDAY PACK This back pack is a great size for school. There are plenty of places to store things other than books. It is very durable. Everyone in our family has a North Face back pack and they have all been great. August 4, 2011
I love this backpack. I got it for college it will be perfect. The colors are really cute and it will hold all of my belongings very well. I definitely recommend this product to a friend. August 3, 2011
The Perfect Backpack I bought this North Face backpack for my freshman year of college, and it's perfect! Of course with North Face you're going to get the very best quality, but all the details are what make it really great. The appearance is exactly as shown, and the colors are very vivid. The front pocket comes with tons of little compartments for storing stuff like pens/pencils, cell phone, etc. It has a very sturdy yet padded backing. If you're looking for a lot of storage space you might want to get a larger backpack, as this one only has one large pocket and one small pocket. For me, however, it's the perfect fit for books, laptop, and all the little things. I'd say look no further, this bag is great!!! July 18, 2011
Nice pack for the day.... I love the bag, but it's not big enough to use for college use. It doesn't have the capacity for your laptop, binders and books. Great for hiking or going to the beach! July 17, 2011
Love this backpack! This is an ideal backpack to wear for college since it is not too large nor too small. Has one large compartment that can easily fit my laptop and textbooks and a small compartment for pencils, phone, ect. I would buy one for this friend too for her birthday! July 17, 2011
I needed a backpack for high school, and I bought the graphite gray/ drummer blue. I love the color, but it is bright blue, as shown in the picture. I haven't gotten to use it yet, but I think it will be great for school. July 16, 2011
This backpack is extremely durable and fits everything I need to carry around including my laptop. I got the all black and I love the way it looks. You should definitely purchase this. July 2, 2011
Good for school, keep looking for the trail. For school, a solid choice. Handles books and never looks back. I graduated, and started using to bring to work, the lack of divider in the main compartment was a deal breaker. The front section has all sort of small pockets, which are great unless you happen to tip the bag over...then everything slides out. This has turned into my "going to the gym" bag and does its job well. June 9, 2011
I bought this backpack for school and love it. It fits everything I need without being too bulky or heavy. I love the look of it also. I have received tons of compliments on it and have and will continue to recommend it to friends. May 23, 2011
Good product I like it very well. I gave it as a present to my friend's daughter. Especially, the coloer I pick was much better than it looks on the web. She told me her daughter liked it very much. I want to buy another one as a graduation present again. May 11, 2011
Jester DayPack Backpack - TERRIFIC This backpack is a great buy for the money. My daughter used it through her college years carrying books, water, laptop, etc. She also uses this packback for carrying her uniform, shoes, etc when playing in a Women's soccer league. The bag is extremely sturdy and lasts a long time. It is a terrific buy and very practical. April 29, 2011
Great Choice You can't go wrong with a North Face product. This is the second North Face backpack we have purchased. Altrec is a great source for anyone making their purchase via the internet. They perform as promise. We are real pleased with the backpack and Altrec. April 28, 2011
My Plaid Back-Pack I have received nothig but compliments about my back-pack. They never new North-face made plaid back-packs. It is sturdy, has a huge capacity fr all of my gym stuff and more I truly love my back-pack. I have also been asked where I purchased it so I have given a few of my friends the web site so they can purchase more than the back-pack. April 18, 2011
Durable and Stylish I love this backpack! Not only is it sleek and stylish, but it is going to last forever. The foam-core back is great for carrying books, too. Sometimes the books in my backpack poke me in the back and make them uncomfortable to carry, but that won't be a problem with the Jester. Great value for the price too, especially when compared with other, more expensive North Face backpacks. I would definitely recommended this backpack to students! April 10, 2011
good purchase i was really pleased with this backpack, it's definitely large enough for a college student carrying books on campus, the design helps distribute weight evenly on my back, and it looks pretty cool (black color). April 4, 2011
great price!!! A very well constructed backpack! My daughter loves it! It is a perfect size for a high school student. It is not too heavy for her to carry. She is the envy of her friends at school! March 29, 2011
I love plaid This backpack is lightweight and perfect for small jaunts in the woods. The blue plaid design is super stylish and is the perfect accessory on and off campus. The padded back is really comfortable and the organization pockets are great. I also like the side mesh pockets for drinks. March 18, 2011
Great backpack for any beginner! I bought this for my little sister in high school and she loves it! It's a big heavy, but it's okay. She says there is room to put her books, as well as her laptop. Totally recommend to any person looking for great durable backpack! March 17, 2011
Grade A purchase i purchased after an unfortunate car break in at my school. my backpack was stolen and i needed a new one. i fell in love with this one when i saw it. and i take it everywhere. it is extremely durable and holds all of my books with extra room. as any college student would know, books are huge and a hassel to carry by hand. this back pack has been a huge help and i have had no problems. i absolutely love it!!!!! March 9, 2011
Great!! I love this bag. Color is light blue that made happy me. This bag is light. And it has many holder. I want to go mountain right now My husband likes it too We are happy because this baG Thank you for good bag. March 4, 2011
Good Buy Good buy for everyday use, don't recommend for long day hikes or carrying at full capacity because of the lack of strap across the chest to hold in place to help distribute the weight. Its a great durable bag and can with stand everyday use. February 24, 2011
Great Backpack Got this a few days ago and i love it. Great design and very light. I get to carry a lot of books and this actually makes them seem lighter. In general great daypack at a great price. I got the green and blue and it is great for spring. February 19, 2011
I bought this for my daughter to use in high school. She has really enjoyed the comfort and space that the backpack has. I would totally recommend this product. February 8, 2011
good! i bought it for my college. it's pretty good! you can put a lot of books. also laptop! but it looks a bit large for girls. i saw many girls carry this bag though. the only disadvantage of this bag is that things that control the side line's length easily loose. but overall, i recommend! January 28, 2011
Another happy purchase I bought this as a gift because I have had one Northface backpack for my last two years of high school, all through college, and part of grad school. When the zipper broke out (from me overstuffing the pack!) the Northface lifetime warranty kicked in and they gave me 50% of a new pack. I felt like I got 9 lives out of my Northface pack, so I got this as a gift. It is the perfect size for a student, with the right amount of compartments and no unecessary pockets or slots for highly specific stuff that you may not have. The side pockets for coffee mugs or sodas are large enough (something that is not the case on my own Northface pack) January 18, 2011
Great backpack My son wanted a new backpack for school. After searching he chose the Jester. He loves it!! It's the perfect size for high school. January 9, 2011
Great Bag for A College Kid After having a few previous bags that have ripped, this bag has broken the curve. It is a perfect bag for a college kid. It doesn't have a huge capacity, but it has enough for a few classes and has good weight distribution for transport. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is in upper education and is looking for a very durable bag that can handle the load of a college kid. A great choice! January 5, 2011
Nice bag Great looking bag, lot of pocket, lots of space, great for school. Totally worth it. December 30, 2010
Good Gift !!! I bought this for my sister's Christmas gift and she loved it! She uses for school and for some outdoor activities. It is a very good gift for college student :) December 26, 2010
Great Price, Great Product! Before selecting this product, I went over the reviews and found that it was helpful and reassuring to read other people's satisfication with the Jester bag. I'm in grad school and use this bag to tote around all my books and binders....and the size and compartments I love! I have so back problems so this bag also helped distributed the weight evenly and at times I didn't even realize it was on my back! Wonderful pockets in the front to keep your stuff organized and find it useful to have the side pockets for my drinks--less for me to carry in my hands. Only con, would be that I wish there was a large pocket in the main compartment of the bag for loose papers or folders. December 16, 2010
Great Product This is a great product at a great price! It is perfect for carrying school books, an umbrella, pens, pencils, a calculator, etc. for class. I would recommend this product to anyone for any use!! December 13, 2010
no 2nd thoughts. buy it. I bought this bag to use for school. I have books that have 1000+ pages to carry to class or around town for studies. This bag balances the weight well on my back to where it never feels "heavy." (and I am only 5'2) It has extra pockets for small items: cell phones, calculators, wallets, candy, phones, whatever- and it all stays well protected. The only thing I wish that it did have was a padded divider that kept my computer separate from my books when carrying it in the major compartment of the bag. However, if the laptop is kept in its own padded zipper case, the flat backing of the NF bag keeps it from falling back and forth in the bag. Great bag. Great website to buy it from too. Thanks! December 8, 2010
Good pack This is a high quality pack. I use it for carrying my college books and for short day hikes. Its been almost a year and its held up well. Good buy December 7, 2010
Jester is no joke Great backpack! Its got it all - form and function! Bought this backpack for my high school daughter. Plenty roomy for all her text books without being clumsy. The super soft shoulder straps help with heavy loads. Cute plaid pattern with fun pink interior...cute without being too cutsie! Superior design with plenty of pockets, strong zippers and handy bungee cord. Would highly reccommend. November 17, 2010
good purchase Back pack is perfect for college student. Lots of room and strong enough to carry many books. November 17, 2010
truly a great bag! I was looking for a backpack that was durable, pleasing to the eye, and inexpensive-- this is a perfect choice! I'm using the bag for school, but I see myself taking it camping and traveling with me also. I love all the little pockets and zippers, it's a great design, and very comfortable to wear. I highly recommend this bag! Love my Northface! November 15, 2010
My daughter LOVES this backpack . She uses it for everything; school ,weekend sleepovers,trips. It has replaced any other bag that she has .So worth it !!!! November 11, 2010
great backpack This is a great backpack for the whole family!! I have used it on several family outings and it has worked well. October 25, 2010
great back pack I am very satisfied with this bag. It seems durable although Ive only had it a short time thus far. It has lots of nifty little storage areas in the front pocket October 19, 2010
Great choice! This bag is a great item to use for school! The straps have cushioned padding and it is very comfortable. Even on my days with the heaviest loads, somehow this bag holds it all without straining my back! October 4, 2010
We love it.. The backpack is great for me, especially considering that I use it mostly for going to the gym. I can store my sweatpants, sweatshirt, T-shirt, spare socks, and sneakers in my bag easily, and there is additional space for items such as my water bottle, energy drinks, September 10, 2010
Another great North Face item My niece picked this item for her birthday and she is THRILLED - loves it. The true quality test will be when she's lugging a bag full of school books, but we're happy so far. July 13, 2010
Awesome Backpack The North Face has done it again. The Jester Backpack is spacious, durable, well balanced and easy on the shoulders. This pack was so impressive that I purchased two. The only thing that matches the quality of North Face is the service I received from Altrec! July 8, 2010
Great Backpack This backpack is seriously the best backpack. I have had mine for so many years and just bought this for my brother for his birthday. He loves it! July 7, 2010
Highly recommended What a great backpack!! Not only is this backpack spacious but it is comfortable to carry. The slight padding in the straps offers stability and comfort when our daughter is carrying a heavy book load to school. The extra pockets are wonderful for the essentials necessary for the day and overall capacity size is much better than any other bag previously purchased. We love it and will be definitely be purchasing another one for our other daughter!! May 2, 2010
Awesome Great backpack. A lot of space and great support. April 17, 2010
Satisfied. Fairly slow shipping so if your buying as a gift buy at least 3 weeks before you need it. But it's a GREAT backpack. Holds all of my books for college and great for hiking. Also, pretty easy to clean when it gets dirty. :) February 10, 2010
Great backpack Great customer service, which makes this backpack even better. February 5, 2010
STURDY Very good quality. The zippers are the very durable. The color selection is great. My daughter got hers in her school colors. February 3, 2010
Awesome! Bag is comfortable, has enough space, and stylish! January 30, 2010
Comfortable, convenient Great bag, fits many things. Love the water bottle pockets. January 30, 2010
Great! This is a great backpack. Fits lots of books - and the color is great! January 26, 2010
Pretty good Pretty good backpack for the price. I use it to go on light day hikes and when out fishing. Only wish that it had ventilated straps, but I guess that'd be a little extra $$$. January 23, 2010
Absolutely Amazing The Jester backpack is exactly what I needed and the North Face product was the fantastic quality that I have grown to expect. I was so impressed with the service at Altrec--I have recommended them to everyone who sees my backpack! January 21, 2010
Great! My order was shipped very quickly and I was able to use my purchase within a week of ordering it. The condition was perfect and I love it! January 19, 2010
Great backpack My daughter wanted the backpack for school and she absolutely loves it. Very sturdy. Altrec's service and timely delivery was amazing. Arrived Christmas Eve....couldn't be more perfect. Will definitely be ordering all my sporting goods from them in the future. January 5, 2010
Great Backpack I really like this backpack. It holds everything I need. The delivery was right on time. The Saratoga Green is an awesome color! January 2, 2010
