The Greenroom136 Rainmaker and the ILE Default XL are both carry on backpacks that pack a punch in terms of durability, capacity, and compatibility. The Rainmaker, as its name suggests, is made from 1000D Cordura, making it water-resistant and great for carrying laptops and iPads without worry. It is a hefty pack with dimensions of 40 inches in height, 28 inches width, and 21 inches in depth, and weighing 1.7 pounds, this bag can carry up to 22 liters of items. The reviewers champion its function, customizability, and value for money.

On the other hand, the ILE Default XL, sporting either a Durable Cordura or an XPAC Sailcloth exterior, provides waterproof compartments for your possessions. With larger proportions of 55.9 inches tall, 20.3 inches wide, and 30.5 inches deep, the Default XL weighs almost nothing—zero pounds to be exact. Because of its larger size, this backpack boasts a tremendous 40-liter capacity.

  • Dimensions: The Rainmaker is 40"x28"x21" while the Default XL measures 55.9"x20.3"x30.5".
  • Weight: The Rainmaker weighs 1.7 pounds, whereas the Default XL weighs zero pounds.
  • Capacity: The Rainmaker has a 22-liter capacity, the Default XL holds up to 40 liters.
  • Compatibility: The Rainmaker is compatible with all airlines, while the Default XL only works with 47% of airlines.
  • Material: Both packs are sturdily built with Cordura, but the Default XL offers an alternative XPAC Sailcloth exterior.
  • Laptop Compartment: Both packs can accommodate a 15-inch laptop.

The Rainmaker might be an attractive option for those who prioritize a reliable carry-on that values function above frivolities. Its organization-focused design keeps things in place, and it impresses reviewers with its affordability despite being a handmade EDC pack. The Default XL, meanwhile, is a solid choice for anyone seeking a sleek, versatile design with a larger carrying capacity. It's commended for its comfortable fit, even when full, its waterproof compartments, and the quality of its workmanship.

Both the Greenroom136 Rainmaker and the ILE Default XL stand as durable, dependable carry-on packs, but each shines in its own unique way. Choose the one that fits your travel or everyday needs best.
