When it comes to carry-on backpacks, the Greenroom136 Rainmaker and Fjallraven Bergtagen 30 both pack a punch. Astoundingly heavy-duty, safe and customizable, the Greenroom136 Rainmaker is a solid choice. The Rainmaker is sure to fit your laptop, weighing in at 1.7 pounds and built from 1000D Cordura, which only adds to the appeal of the backpack. The Rainmaker also beats out the competition in the compatibility sector, fitting the cabin luggage standard for all airlines.
For those in search of a slightly softer material, the Fjallraven Bergtagen 30, made out of Bergshell®: 400D 100% polyamide, might be a better fit.

- The Greenroom136 Rainmaker is taller (40 inches vs 22 inches), but not as wide or deep as the Bergtagen 30.
- The Bergtagen 30, on the other hand, is lighter and has a larger capacity (30 liters vs 22 liters).
- Both backpacks can fit a 15 inch laptop, but the Rainmaker has a 100% airline compatibility rate, compared to the Bergtagen 30's 63%.
- The Rainmaker's material is 1000D Cordura, while the Bergtagen 30 is made of Bergshell®: 400D 100% polyamide.
Testimonials speak strongly about both backpacks. Users laude the Rainmaker as the “complete package at an amazing price,” offering “customizability options” and a “sturdy and water-resistant exterior.” They also note that it's a great value for money given its wide range of features, a sentiment echoed by numerous other reviews.

Both carry-on backpacks offer versatility. For the one that values function and durability, the Greenroom136 Rainmaker is highly recommended. However, if you are after a lightweight, highly crafted and comfortable backpack, the Fjallraven Bergtagen 30 is a solid choice. No matter which you choose, both are well-made and offer superb performance, perfect for your travel needs.
