When considering a new carry-on backpack, the LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag by Life Behind Bars Jakarta (LBBJKT) and the Exped Mountain Pro 20 by Exped offer unique features for the discerning traveler. The LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag sets itself apart with its incredibly generous sizing — it dwarfs the Exped backpack both in terms of height and width, providing ample space for all your personal belongings. Furthermore, this spacious carry-on offers a capacity of 35 liters, which is outstanding compared to the relatively modest 20 liters provided by the Exped Mountain Pro 20. Besides size, the LBBJKT's backpack dominates in terms of compatibility with airlines, making it almost universally suitable for travel.
Here's a rundown of how the two backpacks stack up: • LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag: 53 H x 36 W x 12 D inches, 1.6 lbs, 35 liters capacity, 98% airline compatibility • Exped Mountain Pro 20: 17 H x 29 W x 50 D inches, 1.12 lbs, 20 liters capacity, 81% airline compatibility
The material durability and waterproofing are also of note when comparing these two backpacks. The LBBJKT bag is made of 1000D Cordura Lightweight water-resistant polyester, equipped with bright yellow inner linings and YKK Aquaguard zippers — this combination offers some serious protection against damp conditions. On the other hand, the Exped Mountain Pro 20, constructed from 420D Oxford nylon with an impressive 3'000 mm water column, isn’t a pushover in inclement weather either.
Though for some, the functionality of these bags is the top-notch. The LBBJKT Rolltop bag boasts an expansive laptop compartment capable of accommodating a 17-inch laptop, making it popular among digital nomads and business travelers. In contrast, the Exped Mountain Pro 20 has a notable absence of laptop compartment but compensates with its minimally elegant design — stripped of unnecessary extras, this backpack is all about functionality and ease of use.
Finally, let's talk about the benefits of purchasing each bag: • LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag: Expandable from 35L to 45L. Dedicated 17" laptop compartment. Well-thought pockets for organization. Strap system to attach large items. • Exped Mountain Pro 20: Weatherproof construction. Slim and aesthetically pleasing design. Adequate and functional internal organization. Comes with a transparent, removable, weatherproof document bag.
In summary, both backpacks have excellent offerings, and the choice comes down to personal preference. Be it the expansive and flexible design of the LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag, or the compact and weatherproof Exped Mountain Pro 20, both are superior choices for carry-on luggage.
