I really like the suitcase very much. It was my error that I didn't realize it was final sale. I would have exchanged it for the Bigger Carry On. I don't think you could pack for more than a 2...

Designed to stand up to miles of travel

Mileage that won't give out

Every Away handle design is tested through 1,500 pulls at up to 60 lbs — so it holds up when you grab, lift, or drag it on your next trip.

Wheels that never quit

Before your suitcase logs its first miles with you, it’s already gone the distance. Every design is rolled 480 New York city blocks of simulated travel to test wear and glide.

Zippers built to keep up

The zipper is the last thing you want to think about mid-trip. That’s why we test them up to 8,000 times before they find their way to you.

Built to stick the landing

Baggage handlers aren't always gentle. Our luggage is loaded up to 60 lbs and repeatedly dropped every which way at 10° F — putting the shell to the ultimate test.
