The Greenroom136 Rainmaker and the LBBJKT The Peloton Asphalt are two top-tier carry on backpacks well-worth a closer look. The Rainmaker, an offering from Greenroom136, is the smaller of the two, standing at a height of 40 inches. Its light weight of 1.7 pounds gives it a mobile edge over the 2.175-pound Peloton Asphalt by LBBJKT. But where the Rainmaker sheds weight, it also concedes capacity, only able to hold 22 litres compared to the Asphalt’s 30 litres. This trade-off, however, hasn't affected its airline compatibility; 100% of airlines accept the Rainmaker, whereas the Peloton Asphalt is only compatible with 80%.
- Greenroom136 Rainmaker is smaller(40x28x21 inches) but lighter(1.7 lbs) than the LBBJKT The Peloton Asphalt (14x35x52 inches, 2.175 lbs).
- The Rainmaker holds 22 litres whereas the Peloton Asphalt can carry 30 litres.
- Both bags are made of 1000D Cordura fabric, but the Peloton Asphalt’s fabric is sourced from Invista™.
- The Rainmaker has a laptop compartment for a 15 inch laptop, the Peloton Asphalt can accommodate up to a 17 inch laptop.
- Greenroom136 Rainmaker is compatible with 100% of airlines whereas LBBJKT The Peloton Asphalt is only compatible with 80%.
Both backpacks are created with the same 1000D Cordura fabric, though the LBBJK's Peloton Asphalt sources its fabric from Invista™. Of the two, the Rainmaker's laptop compartment only fits a 15 inch laptop, a size smaller than the 17 inch compatibility of the Peloton Asphalt. Again, the benefits of either backpack can be closely related to a customer’s specific needs – such as the need for a larger laptop compartment.
Reviewers have noted the Rainmaker's “function above all else” design, emphasis on customizability, and its reputation as “one of the best value bags on the market.” In contrast, the Peloton Asphalt by Life Behind Bars Jakarta, has been lauded for its sleek aesthetic and functional design, weatherproof build, and excellent harness system, which includes load lifters that lighten the entire pack. Whether one chooses the Greenroom136 Rainmaker or the LBBJKT The Peloton Asphalt, each brings unique benefits and a commitment to quality and design.
