Product Insights & Style Tips

The Away The Softside Bigger Carry-On is that traveler-chic companion you reach for before you even pack. The softshell exterior is water-repellent nylon, light in weight yet built to last, with a quiet premium feel. Glide-ready 360-degree spinner wheels roll over pavement or cobblestones, while a two-height trolley handle and top, side, and bottom grab grips keep it easily mobile.

Inside, the patented compression system maximizes packing space, with zip pockets. The wraparound expandable zipper adds 1 3/4 inches of room. It holds 38.3 liters, expands to 44.3 liters, and fits 6-9 outfits for trips up to a week. A hidden padded front pocket protects laptops, and a stabilizer keeps the bag upright as you roll. It meets carry-on requirements for most US airlines and can be checked when expanded.

Away's travel gear leans into streamlined, durable pieces with a quiet luxury vibe. The Softside Bigger Carry-On carries Away's signature touches - a leather luggage tag, water-repellent drawstring laundry bag, and ergonomic zipper pulls - making it ready for city hops, weekend getaways, or longer escapes.

Style Check

Aesthetics: 9/10

Clean, modern armor for travel, the softside carry-on presents an editorial silhouette with matte nylon, hidden pockets, and a leather luggage tag accent. Its restrained proportions and smooth lines demand attention without shouting, while practical details like rounded corners and quiet hardware elevate the look from utilitarian to fashionably functional.

Craftsmanship: 8/10

Visible craftsmanship comes through in the disciplined stitching, balanced paneling, and robust wheel housings. The wraparound zipper and quick-release trolley feel sturdy, while the interior compression system and 1 3/4 inch expansion signal thoughtful engineering. A few softshell creases hint at material care needed, but overall precision reads premium.

Affordability: $$$$

Valued for its robust feature set and travel-ready design, the price aligns with its durable build and thoughtful organization. The value feels justified as you gain expandable space, easy maneuverability, and protected pockets for devices, making this carry-on feel like a prudent, aspirational investment rather than a fleeting impulse buy.

About Away

Away is a New York based luggage and travel-accessories label launched in 2015 by Jen Rubio and Steph Korey, built around modern, road-tested design for the way we travel today.
