The Greenroom136 Rainmaker carries on backpack is built for strength and functionality. Towering at 40 inches, with its 1000D Cordura body, it has the durability to withstand hard use. Weighing only 1.7 pounds, it is fairly lightweight and yet it has a good capacity of up to 22 liters. But what makes this bag stand out is its wide compatibility with airlines, making it an excellent choice for frequent flyers. Here's what really impresses, the bag can host a 15-inch laptop easily and it gets full marks for versatility, sturdy and water-resistant exterior, and its organizational prowess.

Now, let's have a look at the Deuter Freerider Pro 34+. Measuring 18 by 35 by 58 inches, it might be smaller in height but it still packs a punch with its 34 liters capacity and yet it weighs a tad bit lighter at 1.28 pounds. However, its compatibility with airlines is limited to only a third of them. The bag material stands robust – made from 420D PA Ripstop Clear TPU and 330D PA 6.6 Ripstop it still bears the toughness but lacks a laptop compartment.

On a concluding note, the Greenroom136 Rainmaker does seem to be a complete package providing the best value, durability, and utility. Reviewers have commended its solid build, customizability options and have deemed it one of the best value bags in the market. The Deuter Freerider Pro 34+ does not beat the Rainmaker in terms of features, but its high volume and lightweight might be what some travelers are looking for. In the end, the right choice depends on the customer's individual needs and preferences.
