Description

Our Softside Compact Carry-On is a versatile suitcase designed for packers who need just a little more space. Ideal for overnight stays or trips up to three days, it's the perfect companion for daily commuters and true minimalists alike.

Haven’t used it yet! Getting ready for our upcoming train ride this summer and it was on sale so I had to snatch it! This soft side is perfect for a 2-3 day travel. Feels a bit on the heavier...

Altho I prefer hard to soft side, this little sq is perfect for a quick weekend!

I have had a rolling carry-on in this size for about 20 years. It has served me well but it’s dirty, various zippers have broken and been replaced. It was time!!

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.

We want you to love everything about getting Away

Free returns and exchanges for the first 100 days on unused items
