Review on North Face Jester Asphalt Grey Backpacks and Casual Daypacks by Ryan Foles

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A big improvement over the previous model

I made a joke about 8 years ago. It was a great backpack that held up well and did everything I asked of it. Of course there were some annoying things, but it was a really great bag. I was browsing Revain and found they have an updated jester in turquoise which is my favorite color. I decided to buy it and see if it was worth the price, but the guilt came quickly. I kept saying I would return it as I had one that worked great... but oh my god! This bag is exactly what I never knew I needed. The front pocket is half the size so your belongings won't fall on the floor, and the larger compartment offers more space at the bottom, making it more convenient to use than before. It is much more balanced and therefore less bulky. When the large compartment is open, this balances the front pocket and bottom so it doesn't fall over...great! That was a big annoyance for the old man, I kept trying to keep him upright. Additionally, the zippers are like butter, the shoulder straps keep the pack in a comfortable position so as not to hurt your back, and the water bottle pockets are now large enough to hold my 26oz Yeti without having to buckle it up. as if they really improved on this design. I don't regret this purchase as I feared and all my guilt is gone. Whether you're looking for an everyday bag for your belongings or a good mid-sized bag that isn't bulky but offers plenty of space, these are the ones you should check out. Overall I like this bag and I think most of the others will like it too. I've attached photos of the new and some of the old (black bag) for comparison.

Pros
