Even if you’re a master of the 3-1-1 with your Global Entry membership paid up for the next five years, traveling can still be a huge pain in the ass because of luggage. You can have the fanciest, most expensive, supposedly crushproof carry-on and something will still inevitably be missing. The AWAY Carry-on was designed to remove as many of those tedious traveling concerns as possible so you can focus on actually enjoying your trip. There’s a 100% virgin Makrolon polycarbonate hardshell decked out with YKK zippers (that are bent at a precise angle to fit perfectly into the attached TSA lock). Movement down the street and through the airport is provided by virtually silent Japanese Hinomoto® 360° spinner wheels. There’s a removable laundry bag and compression divider, in addition to the silk lining with mesh accents. You don’t even have to worry if you can’t find an outlet because there’s a built-in 10,000 mAh battery. Somehow, AWAY packed all of this in a suitcase with clean lines and a price tag less than $300.
