Hard-shell or soft-shell? That is the question.
When it comes to our luggage, we are particular about having durable, spacious, stylish bags that can travel anywhere we want to go. But one thing we can't fully align on: hard-shell luggage versus soft-shell luggage.
The reality is, you can't go wrong with either option. Away's carry-on hard-shell luggage boasts a durable, "rigorously tested" lightweight shell with interior compression and 360-degree wheels, available in multiple colors to best suit your style. There's also Solgaard's Carry-On Closet Original, among other hard-shell options.
