Does the Jester fit a 16-inch laptop?

Yes. The padded sleeve is sized for laptops up to 16 inches, and owners report most 15- and 16-inch machines slide in with room to spare.

Is the Jester waterproof?

No. The polyester shell is water resistant and sheds light rain, but seams and zippers are not sealed, so use a rain cover in heavy weather.

How does the Jester compare with the Borealis?

The Jester is lighter and simpler, with one main compartment and a front bungee. The Borealis adds a second front pocket, more dividers and a slightly larger capacity.

Does it have a chest strap?

Yes. A sternum strap is included and helps keep the pack steady when cycling or hiking.

What fits in the side pockets?

Two mesh bottle holders stretch to hold most water bottles and a compact umbrella.

Is it good for day hikes?

For short hikes, yes. It carries water, a layer and snacks comfortably, but it lacks a hip belt for heavy loads.
