What makes Away luggage worth it

Away was the first luggage brand to pioneer features like integrated locks, internal compression, and roll-up laundry bags in hardshell suitcases. The brand has spawned dozens of imitators in the last few years, so this once-unique luggage design may no longer seem particularly novel. However, in our testing (and we’ve tested the suitcases numerous times over the past few years), Away’s bags trump imitators in functionality, ease of movement, and durability. In fact, Away’s bags have fared the best among hardshell suitcases in our durability testing, usually emerging with scuffs and scratches, but no major damage.

Perhaps the biggest reason to consider Away is the brand’s lifetime warranty policy. We have firsthand experience trading in an Away bag under the warranty; you get a brand-new bag and there are no costs for shipping or returning the damaged bag. An Away bag is truly a bag for life — well, or as long as the company is around.
