Away's Insider Packing Cubes are designed around its own suitcases: Away says a set of four fits its Carry-On, two sets fit its checked suitcases and three fill The Trunk. The four cubes are Small Wide (10 x 4.1 x 8.25 in.), Medium Slim (10 x 4.1 x 4.3 in.), Medium Wide (13 x 4.1 x 10 in.) and Large Slim (13 x 4.1 x 6.9 in.), and the set weighs 0.5 lbs. The body is water-repellent nylon with a mesh top, the cubes are machine washable, and they lay flat for storage. The set of four costs $48, and a set of six is $78. There is no compression zipper; Away instead says the cubes work with the compression system built into its suitcases, so owners of other luggage get organization but not squeeze. Returns are free within 100 days for unused items, and the warranty is a limited one-year policy.
