Away The Large review

Away's The Large is designed for 2+ weeks away, and its numbers back that up. Away lists the exterior at 29 x 20.5 x 12.5 inches with handles and wheels, 62 linear inches in total, with 104 L inside and an empty weight of 12.1 lbs. The shell is 100% polycarbonate, the lock is TSA-approved, and the interior has a double-buckle compression pad, three mesh pockets and a hanging pocket. Away adds an underside grab handle, which matters on a full checked bag. The quick-release trolley handle has 2 height settings, fewer than Monos or July. Warranty is Away LifetimeCare: repair support for the life of the case, with repairs free for the first five years and up to one replacement in that period if a repair is not possible. LifetimeCare Pro at checkout extends free repairs to 10 years. At 12.1 lbs it is 1.8 lbs heavier than the Monos, which eats into a 50 lb allowance.
