Against, it we've got the STM Dux Backpack. This backpack is shorter at 24.1 inches but wider, with a breadth of 33 inches. Heavier than the Peloton, the Dux backpack weighs in at 1.78 pounds. While it may lack in dimensions, it certainly makes up for in construction, built from 500D x 750D Polyester ensuring durability and resistance to the elements.
