When it comes to serious carry-on packs ready to take on your next adventure, two options rise to the top: Greenroom136's Rainmaker and Mission Workshop's The Rhake: WX. At their core, both bags share some crucial similarities. They're sized for today's intrepid traveler at a manageable 22-liter capacity, and yet their compactness belies their capability. Both accommodate a laptop—the Rainmaker a 15-inch, The Rhake: WX a larger 17-inch—and each tips the scales at a comparably lightweight 1.7 pounds. But that's about where the shared characteristics end.
Let's look at the specs:
The Rainmaker lives up to its name, offering bountiful customizability options that add versatility and functionality. Its exterior—fabricated from sturdy, water-resistant 1000D Cordura—promises durability, protecting your gear amidst various outdoor conditions. With its dedicated pockets for essentials—like laptop, tablet, phone, chargers, keys, sunglasses, and water bottle—this Greenroom136 offering ensures an organized adventure.
In contrast, The Rhake: WX by Mission Workshop thrives in both urban and wilderness settings, boasting an appealing blend of rugged yet modern aesthetics. Its weatherproof construction—made possible by Fairfield Textile Army Duck Canvas and Martexin Waxed finish—protects your possessions from the elements. Plus, it excels at offering an abundance of pockets for guaranteed organized storage, and it does not skimp on comfort, featuring well-padded straps and adequate ventilation for your back. Each backpack offers compelling reasons for purchase—it ultimately comes down to personal preference and needs on the ground.
