Decent backpack. Simple changes would make it better.

I am a female college student with chronic back issues. I purchased this backpack for its durability, comfort, and functionality. I give the Jester a 3-star rating because, although it can comfortably absorb a lot of weight (unlike Jansport), there are some aspects of this backpack that are less tha...n impressive. Given that The North Face is known for hiking and all-weather products, you would think that this backpack would be waterproof, but it isn't. The space inside both the main and secondary pockets is quite limited, making it difficult to fit a two-inch binder, average sized textbook, pens/pencils, and small laptop. Overall, this is a good quality backpack and I am sure it will last a long time. However, simple changes could make this decent backpack just perfect. I am hoping The North Face will release a simple backpack like the Jester, with a larger carrying capacity and waterproof material- I am sure I am not the only one who would purchase and benefit from such a product. I am relatively unsatisfied with the Jester, but do not plan on returning it. Good backpack, just not the best for a college student. If you are a college student, I recommend browsing Adidas products.
