LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag vs. Fjallraven Vardag 28

First up, we’ve got the hefty Peloton Rolltop Bag from Life Behind Bars Jakarta (LBBJKT). This is the bag you reach for when you're on a serious adventure or you’ve got a lot to carry on your regular commute. It’s tall and wide, with an impressive 35 liter of capacity, which can actually expand to 45liter if you need that extra space. Made from 1000D Cordura with lightweight water-resistant polyester inner linings, it laughs in the face of rain, wind and commuter mishaps. And if you've slain the beast of a hefty work laptop, you'll be glad to know the Peloton swallows up a 17 inch laptop whole with ease. A cyclist raving about this unparalleled backpack said "If you can look past the hook system to open and close the bag, then you should definitely take the Peloton to consideration."

Next in the ring, we have the traditionally Scandinavian Fjallraven Vardag 28. It weighs a mere 0.59 pounds, it wins the lightweight round outright. It’s smaller than the Peloton, more compact, coming in at 16.5 inches tall with a 28 liter of capacity meaning it’s less likely to cause you trouble on a human-filled train or city bus. Crafted from G-1000® HeavyDuty Eco S fabric, this bag is a hard-wearing star performer that uses polyester and cotton to resist the wear of constant use. A dedicated laptop compartment houses a 15 inch laptop and the bag is topped off with a seat pad for comfort on long journey days and a praise from its users for its unrivalled comfort in carrying.
