When choosing a carry-on backpack, the Life Behind Bars Jakarta (LBBJKT) Peloton Rolltop Bag stood out, as did the Jansport Agave. Both bags have sets of characteristics that suit different travelers' needs, but when we examine them side by side, several key factors differentiate them.
The LBBJKT Peloton Rolltop is a bulky bag made for the outdoors, with a height of 53 inches, and width of 36 inches. The bag itself weighs a hefty 1.6 pounds, but it's worth it for the rugged 1000D Cordura fabric it's made of, which will stand up to the elements. Apart from that, you'll appreciate its generous 35-liter capacity and its ability to accommodate laptops up to 17 inches in its dedicated compartment. You'll also find the bag compatible with 98% of airlines - a nice touch for frequent travelers.

- Capacity: The LBBJKT Peloton Rolltop can hold 35 liters of goods while Jansport Agave can only hold 32 liters.
- Airline Compatibility: The LBBJKT Peloton Rolltop is compatible with more airlines.

The Jansport Agave is a classic choice, standing at 22 inches tall and 35 inches wide. If weight is your concern, it's significantly lighter at 0.7 pounds. It's also made from a combination of 420 Polyester Dobby and 210 Nylon, making it resilient yet lightweight. It's only compatible with 67% of airlines, but it makes up for it with its ergonomically designed straps that are comfortable for long periods. It comfortably fits a 15-inch laptop, and has a good capacity of 32 liters.
The final call on whether the LBBJKT Peloton Rolltop or the Jansport Agave is the better carry-on backpack depends on your priorities.
