Product Description
The North Face Jester Pro Backpack is a versatile 28-liter laptop backpack built for school, campus, commuting, travel, and everyday adventures. With a protective laptop sleeve for devices up to 16 inches, a spacious main compartment, two water bottle pockets, and dedicated organization, it gives older kids, teens, students, and adults practical storage for busy days on the move.
The FlexVent™ suspension system combines comfortable carrying support with a streamlined everyday design, while the self-standing construction makes packing and unpacking easier.

Built for Real Outdoor Use
The Jester Pro is made for days that do not fit neatly into one category. It can carry books and a laptop to school or campus, then handle a jacket, water bottles, snacks, and everyday gear when the day moves outside.
The spacious 28-liter capacity gives older kids, teens, students, and adults room for daily essentials, while the front organization compartment keeps smaller items from getting lost at the bottom of the pack. The stand-up design makes packing easier, and the front bungee provides quick-access storage for gear you want to grab without opening the main compartment.
From school and campus to family travel, bike rides, park days, road trips, and everyday adventures, the Jester Pro is an easy backpack to keep packed and ready for whatever comes next.

FOUNDED BY WOMEN. BUILT FOR ADVENTURE.
ODSS was started by mothers who saw firsthand how time outside builds resilient, confident kids. What began as helping outdoor schools equip students for all-weather learning grew into a bigger mission: Help families raise resilient, confident kids by making it easier for children to stay outside longer.
Testimonials
For us, the right gear from ODSS supports what we believe most about childhood. When children are able to be outside every day, in all seasons, they become tenacious, confident, and develop an authentic relationship with the land.
— RAIN OR SHINE SCHOOL
Working with Outdoor School Shop has transformed our outdoor school community. Parents love knowing their children are consistently and reliably equipped—and that nothing is forgotten or comes home covered in mud.
— RANDOLPH SCHOOL
Our students get outside in all temperatures and having the right gear makes a world of difference. @outdoorschoolshop has gear appropriate for all seasons, has a directory to search for nature schools, and layering guides to help families know how to dress children for the weather
— HEMLOCK HILL
At The Thistle and Root, I always recommend ODSS gear for anyone who believes that children grow best through nature—so dress for it.

Ordering bulk with Outdoor School Shop was just as easy and seamless as I had hoped! As we open up a new program, preparing our first group of kiddos for any weather was at the top of our priority list, and ODSS came through with insight, expertise, and the coolest, most dependable gear around! Thank you ODSS!
