Perfect for urban camping at my office!
This bag is the perfect size for my laptop, snacks, extra sweater, and anything I need to get through the day at my office. My only complaint is the front pocket. It’s too narrow and deep. Things get lost down there and I have to fish them out. I think the zipper just needs to be extended to make the pocket more accessible.
United StatesGreat bag! A few annoyances
I love this bag--my third from Ethnotek in a short time. It's just about the perfect size to get everything I need at work and the zipper down the side makes access to the whole bag while commuting very convenience. There are two things that I find to be mild annoyances. First the buckle strap is right above the smaller pocket zipper. This means that every time I need to open that small pocket I have to hold the buckle strap out the of the way. If there was even a small distance between them it would be much easier to open. Second, the buckle strap's shortest length is too long. This means that if I haven't filled the bag all the way to the top it won't hold the roll top tight and then it unrolls, which isn't great especially in rain. Overall I am extremely please with this purchase and my other two Ethnotek bags. I am sure I will be back for more one day!
United StatesBest Backpack I’ve Ever Owned
I’m a commuter into New York City five days a week. I was looking for a new backpack after the one I owned broke it’s zipper and I threw it away. I own a sling pack from Ethnotek so buying this backpack was a natural choice. The material is beautiful and it’s very well made and sturdy. Ive been using it for a few months now and it’s holding up very well. I love the waterproof cover (which stows in the bottom) and it’s come in very handy during unexpected rain storms. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it too. Which is a nice bonus. Thanks Ethnotek!!

Waterproof Backpack Features & Benefits
The Anju Pack 15’s slim and discrete format sits nicely on the back without any bulk and is great for minimalist urban commuters. It’s a great bag to take shopping or light day trips through the city and it has a built-in rain cover for extra protection from the elements. It has a front zipper pocket with built-in organizer, a stretch-mesh expanding side pocket and padded contoured shoulder straps.
Maximum Access to your Waterproof Backpack
Our favorite feature of the Anju Waterproof Backpack is its side zip that runs all the way up the entire bag, which allows you to peel the bag fully open for maximum access to the inner contents and protective 15” laptop sleeve. A feature that’s ideal for quickly accessing something from the bottom of the bag during trips to the farmers market, grocery store, office or class.
Name: ‘Anju’ is a Bahasa Indonesian word that describes the action one makes just before they start running. Fitting that the name represents movement, a great analogy for the travelers and commuters out there.

Waterproof Backpack Cover
The word ‘waterproof’ is a bit controversial in the bag world, but it all comes down to how you use the bag. All of our backpacks are recommended for daily use while urban commuting, work or studies, hiking, camping, playing outdoors and travel. Our bags thrive in these environments and our seam-sealed waterproof backpack rain covers work extremely well while you’re wearing the pack and get got in the rain. We do not recommend swimming with the bags or doing hardcore high-performance activities like river crossings, canyoning, mountaineering or ultra-marathons. For more info about our other waterproof backpacks, you can check them out HERE.
Waterproof backpack for college
We have a lot of people asking about waterproof backpacks for college and we think the Anju Pack 15 is a great fit for those who are. Not only because it has a waterproof backpack cover, but many other great features. For example, when you’re commuting to and from class, or studying at home, you need a bag that can easily stand on it’s own next to you while you work. The Anju has a flat & padded base and will always stand at attention beside you. This is ideal for those who like to keep everything organized inside the bag and front pocket, while having the ease of grabbing things in and out as needed, which Anju is great for. Even though everything is going digital, a lot of students still carry lots of books and paperwork, in addition to a laptop and tablet, which can get really heavy. This is why the Anju 15 Waterproof Backpack for College has padded and contoured shoulder straps, with a quick-release sternum strap. These ergonomically designed straps hug your body better and the sternum strap distributes load to reduce neck strain. And of course, the main compartment side peel zipper as shown above! We all know what it’s like to be late for class or a meeting, which usually leads to haphazardly throwing stuff into your bag in a rush, but what happens when you need quick access to something that you realize is way at the bottom? No worries, simply lay the bag on its back and zip open the maximum-access side peel for quick access to the bottom or middle of the bag. Super handy when you forget where everything is or are just feeling a bit lazy too.
