Travel-DTC darling Away built its name on refining the middle ground between budget beaters and business class statements by offering luggage that looks considered, travels well, yet doesn’t demand a corporate-card budget.
The new Softside Garment Roller extends that ethos, plugging one of the few gaps in the lineup. It’s tailored for business travelers, destination wedding regulars, and the meticulous outfit planner who refuses to gamble with wrinkles.
In other words, anyone who wants to unpack neatly and quickly with several days’ worth of clothes primed and ready.
Your wardrobe, on wheels
Garment rollers haven’t meaningfully changed in years, and most of what’s out there leans either aggressively utilitarian or aggressively expensive. Away’s new take is part checked suitcase, part garment bag, part mobile closet — and that hybrid pitch is exactly where it earns its keep.
Specs-wise, the carry-on suitcase measures 22.5″ H x 23.5″ W x 11″ D, weighs 14.9 lbs, and boasts a technical capacity of 69 L – making it an interesting “tweener” of sorts.
At the center of the design is a detachable garment sleeve that — at least on paper — holds up to eight full-length suits or dresses (16 garments total if you’re counting each piece). It slides out and hangs straight into a closet, which means your first move after check-in isn’t wrestling with hangers. For anyone who’s dealt with a pre-event crunch in a hotel room, that’s not nothing.
From there, the organization feels deliberately modular. A zip-out hanging panel handles gym clothes or casual layers; snap-in corner cubes keep small items corralled; a dedicated flap stores shoes and accessories; and a Bluetooth-tracker pocket acknowledges the modern reality of checked luggage anxiety.
