When it comes to buying a backpack, two that stand out for different reasons are the Greenroom136 Rainmaker and the Exped Mountain Pro 40 Women. These two packs are night and day; the Greenroom136 is an urban warrior perfect for daily commutes and short trips, while the Exped Pro, as its name suggests, is a rugged mountain-focused bag that won’t let a drizzle spoil its day. Despite their stark differences, both bags promise durability, functionality, and versatility, making them great picks depending on your needs and preferences.
The Greenroom136 Rainmaker is a sturdy pack made from 1000D Cordura® fabric, proving that it can withstand a fair beating. With a payload capacity of 22 liters, it offers ample space to old your daily essentials and still has room for a 15-inch laptop comfortably. If you fancy a customizable bag that resonates with your style, Greenroom136 has got you. The company offers customizability options allowing you to tailor the pack genuinely to your liking. However, compared to the Exped Mountain Pro, the Rainmaker's weight of 1.7 pounds may be a trade-off for some.
- Size: The Greenroom136 Rainmaker is larger than the Exped Mountain Pro.
- Weight: The Exped Mountain Pro is significantly lighter than the Greenroom136 Rainmaker.
- Capacity: The Exped Mountain Pro has a greater capacity than the Greenroom136 Rainmaker.
- Airline Compatibility: The Greenroom136 Rainmaker is compatible with more airlines.
- Material: The Greenroom136 Rainmaker is made of 1000D Cordura, while the Exped Mountain Pro is made of 420 D Oxford nylon, PU coated.
- Laptop compartment: The Greenroom136 Rainmaker has a larger laptop compartment.
On the flipside, the Exped Mountain Pro is an impressive women's backpack that ticks all the boxes for a go-to pack for outdoor adventures. Built from 420 D Oxford nylon and PU coated with 3'000 mm water column, this waterproof bag is as tough as it gets. It boasts a whopping payload capacity of 40 liters, but with its ultra-light weight of 0.2 pounds, this functionally superior bag is comfortable to carry. Moreover, it has plenty of attachment points for your gear and also features a transparent, removable, and weatherproof document bag.
To sum it up, if you're into customization, want something for everyday use that can also hold a laptop, go with the Greenroom136 Rainmaker. But if you frequently treat yourself to outdoor adventures, appreciate an ultra-lightweight, and durability is key, the Exped Mountain Pro 40 Women is the way to go. Regardless of the bag you choose, both will serve you well in their respective lanes.
