The world of carry on backpacks is a crowded one. Yet, two products stand out from the pack, offering a blend of usability, durability, and innovative designs: the Greenroom136 Rainmaker and the Deuter Aviant Access Pro 55 SL. This article will provide a jargon-free, no-nonsense comparison of these two products, detailing their attributes, positives, and not-so-positives.

When it comes to size, the Rainmaker by Greenroom136 slims down in comparison to the Deuter. It is smaller, measuring at 40x28x21 inches and weighing only 1.7 pounds. However, it's not lacking in capabilities. Made with 1000D Cordura, it is tough and designed with a 22-litre capacity. It has a compartment adjusted for a laptop up to 15 inches and is fully compatible with airlines wherever you take it. This backpack is said to have "a ton of customizability options" and is praised for its water-resistant exterior.

In contrast, the Deuter Aviant Access Pro 55 SL cuts a broader figure. Measuring 26x34x64 inches and weighing 2.46 pounds, this backpack exhibits a classic design with ample storage. It carries over twice the capacity of the Rainmaker, and while it's only compatible with 18% of airlines, it is commendable for its 600D PES and 420D PA construction that ensures durability. This backpack can carry a 13-inch laptop and amongst other things, it features an NFC technology and a Contact Back system for weight distribution and ventilation.

Reviewers have the compulsion to appreciate the value of both products. One said, "The Rainmaker by Greenroom136 is the complete package at an amazing price", while another reviewer noted, "If you love travel, if you love traveling around the world with a backpack, the Aviant Access Pro is for you." It's clear they both serve their purpose. Bigger and bulkier, the Deuter Aviant Access Pro 55 SL aims to hold almost anything you need for travel, while the Greenroom136's product is a reliable, customizable workhorse for everyday carry. The choice is yours.
