With water-bottle pockets, the main zippers stopped halfway down, making them harder to locate and close again. The reviewer considered the Rainmaker’s peel-down front admin pocket excellent for seeing, accessing, and organizing its contents. The front pocket opens widely without fully unzipping, remaining usable as a dump pocket while preserving main-compartment space.

The rear clamshell laptop area provided two liner pockets and two pen slots for separating work ideas from journal materials. The main compartment’s mesh pockets were not stretchy, but their depth still made stored items easy to retrieve.

Reported strengths

  • The reviewer found the Greenroom136 Rainmaker solidly built and comfortable for everyday carry, dad-bag duties, and hiking days.
  • The removable hip belt helped during hiking, while thick webbing and sturdy YKK hardware secured its attachment.
  • The reviewer considered the Rainmaker’s peel-down front admin pocket excellent for seeing, accessing, and organizing its contents.

Reported trade-offs

  • On the 22L version, the laptop sleeve accommodated a 15-inch computer but remained slightly short, despite closing its flap.
  • With water-bottle pockets, the main zippers stopped halfway down, making them harder to locate and close again.
  • The reviewer reported that the Rainmaker’s substantial YKK zippers could be noisy, although adding paracord reduced the jangling.
