Both of these packs offer unique perks and drawbacks which may align to your preferences and needs.
The Greenroom136 Rainmaker is a solidly functional and incredibly customizable bag. It's slightly smaller and lighter -- weighing 1.7 pounds compared to the Farpoint's 1.9 pounds. Its 40-by-28-by-21-inch dimension gives it a compact feel, with a capacity of 22 liters, making it compatible with 100% of airlines. This trusty bag is built to last with 1000D Cordura, promising water-resistance and durability. The Rainmaker also comes with a sizable laptop pocket that can fit a 15-inch laptop, perfect for travelers who deem productivity as essential. Reviewers hail this as a high-value bag that epitomizes function above anything else.

- The Osprey Farpoint® Trek Pack 55 has a larger capacity of 55 liters versus the Rainmaker's 22 liters
- The Osprey Farpoint® Trek Pack 55 is made of 420HD Nylon Packcloth, while the Greenroom136 Rainmaker uses 1000D Cordura

Despite being slightly larger and heavier, the Osprey Farpoint® Trek Pack 55 also packs a punch in terms of features. With its 55-liter capacity contained in a spaious 23-by-36-by-73-inch frame, it holds more and stands a generous chance at pleasing 88% of airlines. This bag is not only made of durable 420HD Nylon Packcloth but also features an AirCover for added protection. One of its winning points is the compatibility with the Osprey Daylite daypack, which greatly expands this bag's functionality.
