    zippers wont unzip if you leave them zipped on the side.. not on top. typically how you are supposed to do it. no one leaves the zippers hanging in the middle meeting perfectly together..

    As a previous Borialis classic owner I can vouch for the longevity of TNF packs. Biggest issue though was the water bottle pockets not being strong enough and the clips breaking. Overall though as you say, very comfortable and very durable.

    I like the North Face Recon because of the mesh pocket in the front and a daisy chain, so you can add a small stuff and a bungee on it while I can still use for work.

    Love the Jester backpack. My husband and I have owned a couple of them in the past. I just ordered two new ones, one in summit gold and black and one in royal blue and black. I couldn't resist the vivid colors. Our previous Jesters were solid black. I paid $69 each at Dick's Sporting Goods, which I feel is a very good price point for a quality name like North Face. I absolutely love the versatility and the size of these packs. We don't want or need anything huge or overly bulky, just something for when we travel that can carry our water bottles and essential items that we want to have on hand at all times. The main compartment fits my 13-inch MacBook Pro perfectly. They are great for hiking as well. I feel like the Jester is the perfect size. It's not too big and not too small, but just right.

    You can just place both zippers on either side, which is how I always wear backpacks, so that argument gets thrown out the window

    I don’t know if it’s just me but I’m 5”1 and bought a jester backpack! The aesthetic and durability of it is nice. However, it looks humongous on my back where it really bothers me. It’s also extremely thick at times it’s uncomfortable in a way. I truly do love how it fits a full size water bottle but the big pocket is not very stretchy which also can be a problem.

      ⁠@@isabellathewizardima be honest it really is! (At least for me) it’s been a week since school started and this backpack doesn’t have much stretch so it’s been SUCH a hassle i really wanted to love it but all my things are either super deep in the backpack and then I have to dig down just to get it because of how tight the backpack is and it’s a big backpack but I feel it doesn’t fit enough :( but I think if you have less stuff to carry it’s better!

You also mentioned that it’s not stretchy at all and I hope that doesn’t mean that you can’t fit a waterbottle. Aside from that, I probably won’t buy it because I don’t want to look smaller than my backpack!! 😭

    im looking for a backpack mainly for school but i need it to fit my 16.1¨ laptop, the ¨max¨ space for this backpack is supposed to be 15¨ and since you're able to fit your 16 mac pro inside i rly consider this bag as my final choice. Would you think it would be not too stretched for a 16.1¨ or should i look up for something bigger ?

      I used a Jester as my personal carry on a recent trip to Switzerland. Both as under seat for the plane, and all day carry, for 10 days. Worked out well. Just bear in mind that this isn't the highest end backpack in the North Face line (it's more of an entry level or budget version), so you won't get all the nicest features, but it's more than adequate.
