Our verdict

A well-organized 2.3 liter crossbody with a genuinely adjustable strap and light weather resistance, solid for daily carry rather than travel packing.

Overview

The North Face Jester Crossbody is a 2.3 liter version of the brand's daypack, cut down into a small carry that can be worn as a fanny pack, a cross-body sling, or over one shoulder, with the Jester's usual front bungee cord.

This bag adapts the well-known Jester daypack's front bungee system and organization into a much smaller crossbody format rather than being a standalone design. The strap runs from 27 to 50 inches, which is what lets it switch between waist, cross-body, and shoulder carry, and a DWR finish gives it light rain resistance rather than full waterproofing.

  • 2.3 liter capacity
  • Adjustable 27 to 50 inch strap
  • Front bungee cord system
  • DWR water-repellent finish

Who it's for

Fits someone who wants a small, hands-free bag for a phone, wallet, and a few essentials while walking, commuting, or hiking, in a shape that can be repositioned around the body. Not sized for a laptop, tablet, or a change of clothes.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Strap adjusts from 27 to 50 inches for 3 carry styles
  • Multiple pockets keep small items separate
  • DWR finish resists light rain
  • External bungee holds bulkier items
Cons
  • 2.3 liters is too small for a laptop or tablet
  • Not intended for children 12 and under

Performance notes

The main compartment, a drop-in valuables pocket, a rear zip pocket, and a front drop-in slot split the 2.3 liters into distinct spots rather than one open bag, and the external bungee lets you strap on a jacket or bulkier item without opening the bag. The DWR coating sheds light rain but is not a substitute for a waterproof shell in a downpour.
