When it comes to carry-on backpacks, the LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag by Life Behind Bars Jakarta and the RYU Locker 24L by RYU are top contenders to consider. The LBBJKT Peloton is a heavyweight champion in the capacity department, coming in at a hefty 35 liters, perfect for those extended trips or bulky items. It boasts of an impressive height of 53 inches, width of 36 inches and depth of 12 inches. This is a bag that's built to withstand the toughest of travel conditions, crafted from 1000D Cordura, a water-resistant polyester with an inner lining in bright yellow, and sealed with YKK Aquaguard zippers. One of its trump cards is its laptop compartment that can snugly fit a 17-inch laptop.

On the other hand, the RYU Locker 24L might be smaller in capacity and lighter in weight but screams quality and function. It stands tall at 56 inches, has a width of 29 inches, and a depth of 30 inches. It ticks the right boxes with a hardwearing 630D Nylon and a Polyurethane coating. This bag's compact figure conceals a well-organized system, making it an excellent option for a minimalist traveler. The RYU Locker 24L may have a smaller laptop compartment that accommodates a 15-inch laptop, but it's easily accessible from the outside, making checks at the airport a breeze.

Let's put the two bags side by side:

Depending on your travel needs and personal style, either bag would serve you well. The Peloton Rolltop, with its higher capacity and favorable reviews, is perfect for adventure seekers and cyclists who desire strength and durability in a bag. Its ability to fit larger laptops and increased compatibility with airlines give it an extra edge. The RYU Locker 24L, on the other hand, is the go-to option for those seeking sleek design, supreme organization, and premium feel in a carry-on backpack. If a lightweight bag that holds more than it looks is what you're after, then the Locker hits the bullseye.
