The Greenroom136 Rainmaker is a hefty, solid backpack designed for the carry-on traveller who values function and versatility. The makers weren't playing around when they constructed this bag of 1000D Cordura; it screams durability and resilience. There's no doubt it's ready for whatever you're going to throw at it. Weighing in at 1.7 pounds, it's slightly on the heavy side, but the meatiness comes with 22 liters of capacity - a decent size for a carry-on. One key selling point - it fits the cabin regulations of 100% of airlines. This backpack goes above and beyond with the inclusion of a 15-inch laptop compartment, as one reviewer aptly states, it's the "complete package at an amazing price".
The Jansport Suede Campus, on the other hand, adopts a lighter approach. With a weight of just 0.5 pounds and packing 32 liters of capacity, it seems ideal for those who like to pack light but still require a good amount of space. The Suede Campus, made with 600D Polyester and a suede leather bottom, presents a different aesthetic approach with its blend of materials. Although slightly wider and deeper, this backpack falls short on airline compatibility; being agreeable with 68% of airlines. Still, reviewers commend it for being one of the best value bags in the market and its quality craftsmanship.
