Comparing this backpack to the Osprey Questa (which I also own and is about double the price), I prefer the functionality of the Womens Jester. Its more practical and easier to use in terms of the way its designed. This is the perfect balance of useability and sturdiness. The Osprey Questa (in terms of function) feels overdesigned, whereas the Jesper appears to have the end user in mind. The Questa is 28L and the Jester is 26L but the Jester is roomier and seems to hold more. In fairness, I prefer the Questas straps; they're more curved and feel more comfortable on my shoulders. Then again, the Jester (filled with the exact same contents as the Questa) carries better on my frame. I am keeping both but I already know the Jester will be used more often. Ive no regrets buying this backpack, whereas I sometimes regret buying the Questa.
