Diving into the world of carry on backpacks, we focus our attention on the LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag by Life Behind Bars Jakarta and the Briggs & Riley Large Cargo Backpack. Larger and slightly heavier than its competitor, the Peloton Rolltop Bag is specifically designed with the cyclist in mind. With a brightly colored inner lining, water resistant polyester exterior, and YKK Aquaguard zippers, it laughs in the face of the elements and scoffs at the rain. Compatible with nearly every airline, the Peloton Rolltop also boasts a significant amount of capacity - 35 liters to be exact. For the tech-savvy traveler, it also includes a laptop compartment that snugly fits a 17" laptop.
Then we have Briggs & Riley's offering. This Large Cargo Backpack, while smaller and lighter than the Peloton Rolltop, is no less impressive. Crafted from 1600D ballistic nylon, this backpack is also airline compatible, with particular attention given to features such as back padding ventilation and discreet credit card holders. Still, with a capacity of only 33 liters, it's just a hair off being as spacious as the Peloton Rolltop. Nonetheless, it manages to accommodate the same 17" laptop without breaking a sweat.
