Let's start by going on a journey with the LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag by Life Behind Bars Jakarta (LBBJKT). This bag is a tall drink of water, coming in at 53 inches tall, 36 inches wide, and 12 inches deep. It's also quite light on its feet, weighing in at just 1.6 pounds. Even with that light weight, it's not light on storage, offering 35 liters of capacity that's suitable for a wide range of needs. Plus, it's friendly for air-travelers, with compatibility for 98% of airlines.
On the flipside, you've got the Exped Verglas 40 from Exped. This one's more compact, with dimensions of 26 inches tall, 32 inches wide, and 63 inches deep. Slightly lighter at 1.14 pounds, it's endowed with a 40 liter capacity. It offers functionality, but you might be restricted on your fly options. It may only play nice with 19% of the airlines.
For those who needs quick bullet comparison:
- Dimensions: LBBJKT (53" x 36" x 12") vs. Exped (26" x 32" x 63")
- Weight: LBBJKT (1.6 lbs) vs. Exped (1.14 lbs)
- Capacity: LBBJKT (35 liters) vs. Exped (40 liters)
- Airline Compatibility: LBBJKT (98%) vs. Exped (19%)
- Material: LBBJKT (1000D CorduraLightweight water resistant polyester inner linings, YKK Aquaguard zippers) vs. Exped (210 D Robic HD Ripstop Nylon Carbonate PU, 2'500 mm water column.)
- Laptop Size: LBBJKT (Fits 17" laptop) vs. Exped (n/a)
- Review: LBBJKT ("If you're a cyclist and you're 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 to consideration. I highly recommend it.")
Both bags have their unique features and appeals. The LBBJKT the Peloton Rolltop Bag's hardiness can be recognized by its 1000D CorduraLightweight water-resistant polyester linings and YKK Aquaguard zippers. Equipped to handle your tech life, it also boasts a dedicated laptop compartment that can fit up to a 17 inch laptop.
The Exped Verglas 40, on the other hand, is well-built to handle the rigors of the great outdoors with its 210 D Robic HD Ripstop Nylon Carbonate PU, and 2'500 mm water column, but it lacks a dedicated laptop slot. While there's something for every type of traveler and adventurer, it’s clear that the bags are chalk and cheese. Reflecting on your needs and lifestyle will certainly help you make the choice that best suits you.
