We're taking a look at two backpacks today folks - The Peloton Rolltop Bag by Life Behind Bars Jakarta (LBBJKT) and the Exped Impulse 30 by Exped. Let's dive into it - The Peloton Rolltop Bag, a skyscraper of a backpack standing at a hefty 53 inches tall, provides a hearty 35 liters of storage. She's made of tough 1000D Cordura and lightweight water-resistant polyester lining with YKK Aquaguard zippers to boot. This beauty weighs a slight 1.6 pounds, but can carry as much as your 17-inch laptop with ease. In addition, she's airline friendly, compatible with 98% of airlines.

The Exped Impulse 30, a more compact companion at 21 inches tall, offers 30 liters of storage capacity. It's created from 210D Robic HD Ripstop Nylon Carbonate PU and has a water column of 2,500 mm - no hard rain’s going to harm your valuables. However, the Impulse can’t accommodate your laptop as the Peloton can.

Looking at them side by side:

As per the reviewer's comments, The LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag is a cyclist's dream due to its hook system. It's as organized as they come with a slew of pockets and straps to attach large items securely. It even expands from 35L to 45L should you need the extra space. On the flip side, the Exped Impulse 30, in spite of its smaller size, is praised for its durability and highly functional internal organization. Plus, it comes with the added feature of a removable hip belt with pockets for small items.

Summing up, both bags make a good case for themselves. The LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag steps forward with its superior capacity, laptop size, and airline compatibility, backed by impassioned reviews from cyclist users. The Exped Impulse 30 in comparison, while smaller, shines with high praise for its durability and thoughtful organization. It’s a stiff competition and ultimately, your own preferences take the lead.
