    I used my AWAY carry-on and dragged it through Europe for roughly 3 weeks through 5 countries on the trains (including stops in London with NO lift); the bag I have was literally dragged down 4 or 5 flights of stairs (cement stairs) and came out completely unscratched and looks as great as it did except for the wheels which were obviously dragged over some cobblestone streets/stone sidewalks. I love that it has the lifetime warranty and would buy another in a heartbeat if I traveled more often and needed a bigger suitcase.

    I really appreciated seeing this video about Away luggage, and also now seeing how many other useful reviews Sebastian has on his website. What I liked most about this review of Away luggage was that he gave the 'cons' first, and covered some issues that people may not think of, or at least may not know they needed to think of, before buying. Really glad to have come across the site. Thank you Sebby.

    I just ordered my first set of Away luggage based upon a friend's suggestion who has had hers for several years. She thought she noticed the zipper started to wear, so contacted Away to ask what to do about it. They sent her a brand new bag, and had her send the potentially damaged bag back in the same box. That type of warranty and customer service is surprising these days. She hasn't had any issues with her other luggage, and uses it every time she travels. I'm anxious to receive mine, and hope you still have the micro-luggage in pink. Thanks!

    LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3
    Tie two or three colored ribbons around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is not their luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it.
    Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the airport turnstile...
    These ribbons make your luggage different and EASY TO SPOT when the piece is surrounded by 35 other cases unloaded from the bus.
    Use 1” wide ribbons 14” long and not longer. Cut the ends at 45 degrees.
    Scissor cut trim the ribbons to cascading different lengths after they are tied. Put a drop of Super Glue at the end.
    If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/4” the color layers will all show up no matter how they drape.
    Tie the 3 ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. This is too short to catch on anything.
    Half Windsor knot tying
    ruclips.net/video/S_ny-hrKqzU/видео.html
    You can see this ribbon from 40 feet away. Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case. This way, it won’t slide around. This knot does not loosen.
    Put your phone number on one ribbon using a permanent Sharpie.
    Example: “Owner 454-333-7878”
    No personal name necessary.
    No address necessary on the ribbon.
    Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique.
    Stand by the output port of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing your piece.
    Tie your skiies, duffel bag, backpack and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case.
    If you are a Travel Agent, you could hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself.
    Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible.
    Pleasant color combinations:
    Red and blue
    Chartreuse and purple
    Orange and light blue
    Orange and yellow
    Gray and pink
    Green and yellow
    Red and Green
    Red and Gold
    Light blue and light green
    The third ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan
    Tip #2 Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it. Take this picture outside in direct sun.
    Tip #3 Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape..

  • @evi6907
    @evi6907 5 лет назад +1

    I appreciate your review. But when it comes to luggage, Rimowa is the way to go and I realized that from your constructive video. Luggage is supposed to last for more than just a few trips! I bought my Rimowa 6 years ago and it’s a spinner. I am not a 100% sure if Rimowa was the first luggage brand to come out with 4 wheels but the quality of the wheels is like no other, I have never had any issues and I’ve taken it on 30+ trips. Wheels are large and still roll like new. Rimowa is quite pricey but so is Away and it seems like Away is just a tad better than Samsonite but way pricier, so a lot of it is just hype.

      Forget about it bro, those hard case luggages are slippery and slide off of everything. People who handle luggage for a living hate these and will go out of their way to throw them harder. Do your self a favor and get a soft material luggage with friction. 😉

  • @dtw777

I have used my American tourister and after that a Samsonite for 4 years each with around 60-65 trips a year. I am looking at going to Tumi now just because I like their looks. I don't know if someone will buy a Tumi or Briggs and have been using it for decades

    Thanks Sebby. It would be really good if you had the time to make a packing video please. I’m tempted to get the Bigger Carry On as I am shortly to go on a two week holiday and would like to pack a week’s worth of clothes (with a wash at the end of the first week), a medium sized toiletry bag; a compact camera; tech pouch with all my chargers and cables; an extra pair of shoes and an iPad and kindle. Do-able?

    Once again Sebby saves the day! I’ve been on a waiting list for the black Bigger Carry-on w Pocket for almost a month, no ETA. I didn’t even know there was a location in Hayes Valley. So I called them, they had 5 in stock. Ordered it and they waived the shipping charge. Btw, they’re discontinuing the Pocket so maybe it was a limited edition thing. Thank you Sebby, - you and Mandy are awesome!!

    I am not in the camp of paying premium for a product that will last very long time. You will simply get sick of product or some new novelty comes out, you will end up discarding perfectly good product or donate to goodwill since donating makes you feel better. Based on stack of donations in goodwill, I am in very high majority. So, buy an appropriately priced product and use them without thinking about dinks and scratches that will appear on your shiny new luggage.
    Just my two cents.

    I travel every week and what annoys me about suitcases is rarely the strength of the hardcase, the polycarbonate or ABS rarely breaks, but the more practical things that break are the handle and wheels and zipper or interior nylon ripping. You really don't say much about those most practical QUALITY concerns. Other than that, great review mainly because you do say some real cons. Question: Is the handle wabbly? ...and which brands are better in the same price range?? Thanks much!

    • @AskSebby
      @AskSebby  4 года назад

      Handle is fine (to me at least). Weight can be a concern for some, depending on airlines.
      Briggs is the good/safe alternative. I'm not really a fan of their design though.

    I’d take asphalt or blue. It would be nice to see and feel something other than Samsonite. I bought a nice garment bag and the first flight the zipper on the front came up missing. Now I have a luggage strap to “identify” my bag. AKA hold the flap closed. Frustrating.

    My favorite color, honestly, is the *Minions Yellow.*
    It sucks that it's only available in the carry-on size, as it'd look great in a set, but as you've said before, the most easily stolen bags are black. I'd like to see them try and say a bright yellow Minions-themed bag is theirs. :)
    A tiny version of it would be cute to have for some extra stuff.
    For a color that is available for all sizes, the _Gray Malin - Alpine_ is lovely.

    While the video you showed is true that if someone wants to break into your bag through the zipper they can but when the zipper pulls are secured like this one or to the handle with regular locks that person cannot cover their tracks by running the zipper pulls back and forth without a key, picking the lock, or breaking the lock.

Thanks also for the tip on chargers. This was one of the reasons I was drawn to Away. But after your review, I am not so worried about their chargers as I do have several good ones of my own.

    I guarantee my travel would crush those spinners in 2 days. Rule #1 - spinners are a no no. They don’t travel on gravel, and have to be drug sideways. Try taking through a country without paved roads. Or on deployment. This is for glam travel only. Nothing has lasted me more than a few months other than a denier nylon rolling duffle with compression straps. That is all I travel with. That’s the only luggage that will never let you down. Ever. This comes from experience.

    • @AskSebby
      @AskSebby  6 лет назад +1

      For gravel / outdoors, I wouldn't even think of bringing a spinner. I definitely agree that these are geared towards city (or at least driving) travel.
      I wouldn't consider Faroe Islands (or other places I've brought it) glam travel though.

      I actually still have a lot of footage I haven't put up. Probably on a separate channel but yeah :)

    I think he makes sense. I'm going to try the away bag.

    Thanks for a very helpful review. I just bought 3 Aways last month and still trying to figure out which size for which trip! (and.. I like the pink mini also!)

    Great review - never heard of them until I saw this. If I won, I’d want a cranberry, navy, or slate colored one.
    What size is the one you reviewed in the video?
