The North Face Jester Backpack. A Size Guide.
Choosing the right size backpack can be surprisingly hard! The North Face Jester is one of the most popular backpacks for kids, tweens, teens, and even young adults, so I spent way too much time trying to decide which size would be best for my daughter.
For reference, she's in middle school, weighs about 70 pounds, and is just under 5 feet tall. We ended up choosing the Women's Jester Backpack, and I'm so glad we did. You can see in the photo exactly how it fits her, which I hope makes your decision a little easier.
Besides being the backpack all the kids seem to want right now, it's also incredibly practical. It has plenty of pockets to keep everything organized, a comfortable fit, and The North Face's durable materials that can handle everyday school life. She can easily fit her laptop, books, note pads and pencil case. Please note her lunch bag has to be carried separately.(she refuses to buy lunch and has a giant lunch bag).
Be sure to check out my North Face Jester size comparison chart below to see how all of the Jester backpacks compare side by side.
One tip: if your child has their heart set on a specific color, don't wait too long! The most popular colors can sell out quickly, especially before back-to-school season. I recommend clicking my Amazon link and letting your child browse all of the available colors first. It makes choosing so much easier so you don't have to go searching for a past season color.
