Two quality backpacks on the market are the LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag by Life Behind Bars Jakarta (LBBJKT) and the Patagonia SnowDrifter Pack 30L by Patagonia. Though both have their merits, there are few stark differences between them which make each stand out.
The LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag is a traveller's dream, especially for those cyclists among us. As a rolltop bag, it offers flexibility and expandability that conventional zippered bags can't mimic. And if that isn't enough, it even expands from a capacity of 35L to 45L should you need that extra space. The fabric quality and design aren't also things to sneeze about - it's made of 1000D CorduraLightweight water resistant polyester and has a bright yellow lining which adds a pop of color to the bag's aesthetic. One interesting feature unique to this bag is its compatibility with 98% of airlines, which eclipses that of the SnowDrifter's 79% compatibility.
On the flipside, the Patagonia SnowDrifter Pack 30L is a versatile, reliable pack built for the outdoors - whether that's an Alaskan heli mission or just a solid ski day. Its 30L capacity, while smaller than that of the Peloton, is aided by its remarkable organization throughout the bag, including pockets in the hip belt! Its harness system that makes it comfortable to carry and the various attachment points and compression straps also show it's clearly been well thought out with outdoor lovers in mind. All this in recycled materials! Clearly, Patagonia walks the talk in environmental responsibility.
