Meet our two strong contenders, the LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag and The North Face Surge, each vying for the title of best carry-on backpack. Starting with the Peloton, it hails from the energetic streets of Jakarta with its defining feature being versatility. This bad boy is a titan of space, boasting 35 liters of capacity and capable of expanding up to 45L. Need to bring along your tech? No problem. This backpack houses a dedicated laptop compartment able to fit up to a 17" laptop. Its best feature, though, is its... durability. Outfitted with 1000D Cordura and lightweight, water-resistant polyester inner lining, the Peloton is ready for anything. But don't just take our word for it. A reviewer even generously remarked, "If you're a cyclist looking for a suitable backpack, and if you don't mind the hook system to open and close the bag, then you should definitely take the Peloton into consideration. I highly recommend it."

Now, let's talk about The North Face Surge. It's a bit smaller at 31 liters of capacity but still packs a punch. One downside, though, it fails to provide a laptop nook. Nevertheless, it's still quite a lightweight option, weighing in at just 1.26 pounds.

Let's break it down:

• Size: The Peloton is slightly taller and wider, but The Surge trumps in depth attributes.

• Weight: The Surge is slightly lighter at 1.26 pounds while The Peloton weighs 1.6 pounds.

• Capacity: The Peloton offers more storage space at 35 liters compared to The Surge's 31.

• Airline Compatibility: The Peloton wins here, being compatible with 98% of airlines, beating The Surge's 80%.

• Material & Features: The Peloton reigns with 1000D Cordura material, and water-resistant polyester lining. Also, The Peloton includes a laptop compartment, while The Surge does not.

The final verdict? The LBBJKT Peloton takes the cake with its impressive capacity, excellent durability, and special features, such as the ability to accommodate a laptop and its wide range of pockets for organization. Its innovative strap system can even attach larger items to your bag, making it ideal for the adventurous traveler in you! On the other hand, if lightweight is your priority, The North Face Surge could be your bag. It might fall short on features, but it still manages to catch the eye with its sleek design. All in all, they’re both impressive in their own right, but your pick will ultimately depend on what you value more in a carry-on backpack.
