The Greenroom136 Rainmaker and the Osprey Flapjill. Two phenomenal carry on backpacks. The former, weighing in at 1.7 pounds, brings more to the plate with ample space and customizable options. Its sturdiness leaves no room for doubt when it comes to resilience. On top of this, the organization inside keeps your things in place. Reviewers praise this pack for its functionality and value, coming as one of the best at an outstanding price. It's also made of 1000D Cordura, a nice touch for durability and water resistance.

The Osprey Flapjill is no lightweight, despite it only being 0.9 pounds. This featherweight fighter possesses a similar laptop compartment size as the Rainmaker. However, its capacity doesn't match up, totaling 19 liters. Despite this, we can't ignore the bag's compatibility with 98% of airlines. Made of 600D Polyspun, this backpack manages to stand its ground quite well against its competitor.

The Osprey Flapjill might not have the same space as the Rainmaker, but it takes the cake in terms of lightweightness and airline compatibility. On the other hand, the Rainmaker spares no expense in providing the total package. Light or not, it deems itself the sturdy option with more capacity. While its superior 100% airline compatibility is undoubtedly a bonus, the real catch lies in its customizability, reviewers say. Its ability to withstand the rain while keeping your gear secure leaves no question unanswered. The Flapjill serves its purpose, but when it comes to getting the most out of a carry-on backpack, the Rainmaker runs the show.
