The Peloton Asphalt sports a laptop compartment housing up to a 17-inch laptop, and with 80% airline compatibility, it promises more flexibility on a broader range of flights. Yet, the defining features of this model lie in its premium 1000D CORDURA® Fabric by Invista™ build for superior durability and its weatherproof attributes for the safely stored gear.
