The Greenroom136 Rainmaker is a beast in compact form; it sure knows how to maximize its 22-liter capacity. Although it's leaner and trimmer than the Deuter Aviant Access Pro 70, it punches above its weight class, accommodating a 15-inch laptop and offering a myriad of customization options. The construction is remarkably sturdy, with the 1000D Cordura exterior providing water-resistance — a critical feature when you're on the move. It's also compatible with all airlines, adding another point to its "travel-friendly" basket. The reviews are raving, praising its incredible versatility and function, and deeming it one of the best value bags on the market.
On the other hand, the Deuter Aviant Access Pro 70 boasts an impressive 70-liter capacity — more than three times that of the Rainmaker. Despite being heftier, weighing 2.63 pounds compared to Rainmaker's 1.7 pounds, it makes up for its weight with a host of useful features. It throws in a removable daypack and shoebag, and its Deuter Contact System ensures a comfortable load distribution and adequate ventilation. However, it falls short when it comes to airline compatibility, at a mere 19%.

While they both have their strengths, it's your specific needs that will determine which one is the perfect fit for you. If you're an everyday commuter, student, or urban explorer that values compactness, function, and aircraft compatibility, the Rainmaker is your guy. It's versatile, sturdy, and keeps your things organized, without bulking up. On the flip side, if you're an adventurer setting off for weeks-long travels or if you're just someone who carries a lot in your bag, don't look further than the Deuter Aviant Access Pro 70. It's got ample space, unique features like the removable daypack and shoebag, and a built-in system for a comfy carry. Remember, it's all about what rocks your boat (or packs your bag).
