The Greenroom136 Rainmaker and the Trakke Stor are two carry-on backpacks designed with the frequent traveler in mind. Both share a common feature – a laptop compartment designed to fit a 15-inch laptop. But that's where the similarity ends. The Rainmaker, made of durable 1000D Cordura, measures 40 inches in height, 28 inches in width and 21 inches in depth and weighs about 1.7 pounds. It has a capacity of 22 liters and is compatible with all airlines. Versatility, sturdiness, and excellent organization are some other key features of this backpack.

On the other hand, the Trakke Stor, fashioned from gorgeous waxed canvas has dimensions of 49 x 34 x 19 inches – a bit more spacious than the Rainmaker with a total capacity of 30 liters. The Stor weighs just 1.4 pounds but comes up slightly short with airline compatibility at 98%. However, its style aesthetic, quality craftsmanship, and water resistance are its strong selling points.

As quoted by reviewers, the Rainmaker is a "solid pack that values function above all else", offering "customizability options” and excellent value. The Stor, in contrast, was praised for its "rugged, heritage-inspired aesthetics, premium materials, excellent craftsmanship, and versatile functionality."

In conclusion, both the Rainmaker and the Stor offer excellent options for the discerning traveler. If you place a higher value on capacity, materials, and style, the Trakke Stor might be your pick. However, if lightweight design, all-round airline compatibility, and customization are more your speed, the Greenroom136 Rainmaker would be a match. Both backpacks promise durability and practicality, ensuring your belongings stay safe and organized throughout your travels.
