Today let’s consider two rivals from the travel backpack market: the LBBJKT The Peloton Rolltop Bag and the Matador SEG42 Travel Pack. Given their popularity and distinctly different design approaches, it’s worth drilling into the specifics of each. For the adventurous, outdoor-loving, and cycling enthusiast, the former is designed by Jakarta-based Life Behind Bars. With a voluminous 35L capacity, it’s constructed from water-resistant 1000D Cordura and lightweight polyester linings and boasts a compartment fitting a 17 inch laptop. Unspectacular in size with a 53X36X12 inch layout and weighing in at 1.6 pounds, there is enough to carry your essentials and remain airline friendly.
Contrarily, the Matador SEG42 Travel Pack presents an ultralight yet durable piece of luggage intended for minimalistic travellers. Made of 840D nylon and other high-quality material, including some waterproof sections, this bag, which can transform itself into a duffel bag or hold packing cubicles, is always prepared for your journey, rain, hail or shine. Nevertheless, the laptop compartment is designed for a 15 inch laptop, two inches less than its competitor. Despite adding only 1.1 pounds to your travel weight, this packs a sizable 42L capacity and dimensions of 28X56X31 inches.
