Away The Everywhere Bag review

The Away Everywhere Bag is the closest thing on this list to a classic travel handbag for men: a structured tote with top handles and a removable padded shoulder strap. Away lists it at 20 L and 16.3 x 10.2 x 7.3 in., and says it meets the airline requirement as a personal item. The padded exterior laptop pocket fits computers up to 16 in. and closes with a magnetic locking zipper, so the laptop comes out at security without opening the main compartment. Inside are zipper and slip pockets, a water bottle pocket and a detachable key clip. A trolley sleeve secures it to an Away suitcase, and Away says it fits best on its carry-on models. At 2.25 lb without the strap it is lighter than every backpack here with a published weight. The weak point is coverage: bags carry a limited one-year warranty, against lifetime terms from most rivals here. We compared documented features and published prices.
