The Peloton Rolltop Bag, a creation of Life Behind Bars Jakarta (LBBJKT), is a modern marvel of functionality and organization, made from a 1000D CorduraLightweight water-resistant polyester inner lining in bright yellow and with closure secured by YKK Aquaguard zippers. It’s a relatively large bag, standing tall at 53 inches and offering a roomy 35 liters of capacity. It tops it off with an expanded version of up to 45L, great if you plan to pack in more for your journey. The Peloton has extensive pockets for organization and a laptop compartment that can comfortably house a 17 incher.

It offers flexibility for the modern traveler with options for roll-top or flat-down closing for the main compartment. Its laptop compartment fits a 15-inch model, a minor setback but compensated by its compatibility with 99% of airlines.
