Loved by the masses, this cult-favorite brand is known for their thoughtfully designed travel bags and accessories (I mean, a carry-on with an ejectable battery charger so you don’t have to travel with your phone on a terrifyingly low battery percentage?

The Hinomoto wheels are no joke; on a smooth floor it feels like the bag is floating alongside you. I do have to admit I was worried the extended dimensions (22.7” x 14.7” x 9.6”) might not fly, but I've never had an issue with carrying it on. And I'm always grateful for the extra space — whether I need it to stow my artisan market spoils or I just want to be a sloppy return packer because vacation is over.

But as soon as backpacks became trendy again, they seemed to get smaller and smaller until they were no longer practical. Away’s The Backpack is a sleek addition to my travel uniform, but it’s also functional. If packing light, I can fit an entire weekend’s worth of stuff inside, and keep it organized. The Backpack has three main compartments (the last of which feels sort of hidden), and has additional pockets for your laptop and passport, ideal for speeding through security. There’s even a hook for your keys, and as a frequent traveler with the tendency to just throw things in a bag and go, this is exactly the kind of hand-holding I need." — <em>Nina Ruggiero, Senior Digital Editor</em></p><p>To buy: <a data-ecommerce="true" href="https://www.awaytravel.com/travel-bags/backpack/sand-nylon" target="_blank">awaytravel.com</a>, $195</p><h3>The Carry-on</h3><img alt="Away Luggage Reviews "src="https://cdn-image.travelandleisure.com/sites/default/files/styles/1600x1000/public/1558733792/editors-picks-away-carry-on-EDAWAY0519.jpg?itok=xQ7jGSZ3"><p>"I've taken this bag in very short order (I bought it in January) to the Cayman Islands, the Loire Valley, Sonoma, Napa Valley, and Pebble Beach.

I can shove my iPad in one of the roomy side pockets in the interior, and I've found the wipeable shoe compartment on the bottom comes particularly handy for dealing with dusty shoes and hiking boots.
