Top load, not another clamshell

Away’s Topside Carry-On opens from the top with a flat lid instead of splitting like a clamshell. Packing and grabbing layers feels closer to a trunk than wrestling two hard halves on a hotel bed.

97.5 liters and a standing lid

Capacity hits 97.5 liters for heavier packing lists. A fabric strap holds the lid upright so the open case doesn’t eat half the floor while you load it.

Quiet wheels, three grab points

Silent spinner wheels roll through terminals without the usual plastic roar. Three grab handles and an interior compression system keep the bag orderly when you slam it into an overhead bin.
