Overview

The North Face Jester Everyday Laptop Backpack in TNF Red and TNF Black is designed for modern days on campus, in the city, or light travel.

What makes it comfortable and supportive

FlexVent technology drives the comfort and ergonomics. A flexible yoke and injection-molded, cushioned shoulder straps pair with a padded mesh back panel and a breathable lumbar area to encourage ventilation and even load distribution. The padded, detachable laptop sleeve protects your device in the main compartment, reducing bumps and drops during daily commutes.

• Flexible yoke with injection-molded straps for a cushioned, stable fit

Organization that travels with you

The Jester keeps your gear tidy with a well-thought-out secondary compartment and an external front stash. Inside, a compact organizer, zip security pocket, Velcro pocket, and pen slots help you separate essentials without digging. The front bungee cord adds quick-access external storage for a lightweight layer or extra items.
