Away's Series 3 rebuild keeps the case that made the brand famous and fixes its oldest annoyance: the Carry-On 3 adds StopLock brakes that hold it still on a sloping train floor, WhisperGlide wheels, an infinite-height trolley, and hideaway hooks for an extra bag. The polycarbonate shell, CompressMore interior, and LifetimeCare coverage carry over. At $328 in Coast Blue it remains the safe pick in cabin luggage.
