What customers say about "Key Specs"

The North Face Jester (T0CHJ4)

I like the way its light weight and fits all my things. For work,school or just on the go this is an extremely comfortable nice compact backpack.
It’s very comfortable to wear and I feel like the price was reasonable! Fits all my books, planner and more.
It’s lightweight even with my laptops, tablet, notepads, binder, power cables and mouse. It’s hardy and withstands bouncing around the back of my vehicle.
The straps are very comfortable and the chest strap is removable if you don't like it. I like the amount of compartments in the front and the padded laptop sleeve.
Conforms to my back & shoulders & really is made for a women's frame. The bag itself is lightweight, has the perfect amount of pockets, great for urban living.
I have broad shoulders and the straps don’t feel comfortable. The stiff back piece feels uncomfortable.

The North Face Borealis TNF Black, One Size

I love this bag. It's extremely comfortable and spacious and holds everything we need for traveling and work.
It fits under an airline seat so you don't have to fight for overhead baggage space with the steamer trunk packers. I would definitely recommend this pack.
Looks sharp and is lightweight and easy to carry and maneuver in and out car and locker, yet has plenty of room.
Extremely light and comfortable. I have a heavy duty laptop that fits perfectly in there and it doesn't feel too heavy!
It sits comfortably on my shoulders and even with my laptop and several days of clothing in it, I felt no discomfort after carrying it all day.
I would not call this lightweight but its a normal weight for features.

What customers say about "Features"

The North Face Jester (T0CHJ4)

Contigo water bottle fits nicely in the exterior side pocket. The color is even more stylish and vibrant in person than online photo. I like it!
It's well constructed & zippers are sturdy. Great size - it holds a lot but isn't bulky. Well organized in its design. Highly recommend this backpack!
This bookbag can hold a lot of items especially my laptop which I bring everywhere. The laptop compartment is so convenient and safe I would recommend this book bag!
Lots of room in the pockets, many compartments inside of them for electronics, pens, etc. Also lots of places perfect for gator clips if needing to carry larger equipment like a helmet for work.
This item is good for daily using and traveling. It's good in the large capacity, shape design and the high quality.
The issue lack of flat bottom, so pack cannot not stand upright when packed with items.

The North Face Borealis TNF Black, One Size

Strong backpack with enough capacity for short travels, specially if you are practical organizing your gear. At the same time, beautiful, or that is what i get to hear normally.
Excellent built quality. Having lots of pockets for all my smaller materials/belongings is also a great feature. The straps have a sturdy rugged built and they're comfortable.
The laptop pouch is perfect for my laptop and the straps tighten up well and sit nicely on my shoulders. I was happy to see that the lap strap was removable as well.
It has plenty of room and I enjoy the smaller middle pocket because it is the perfect place for all your pens, notepads, wallets, smaller items, etc.
Great backpack for the price! The quality is great. The tactile and rugged zippers, pouches, straps, and the entire bag itself is outstanding.
The pockets are way too deep, which makes it hard to find what I'm looking for quickly and they are not wide enough, so I can't fit enough things in it.
