Away The Bigger Carry-On Review: Eight More Liters That Cost You Ten Airlines

Away lists The Bigger Carry-On at $295 with a 49-liter polycarbonate shell, 7.9 pounds and the same lock, wheels and compression pad as The Carry-On. Its own sizer chart marks the larger size as failing at ten of forty carriers, which makes the choice between the two a question about routes.

Osprey Daylite Review: Thirteen Liters Is the Feature, Not the Shortfall

Osprey lists the plain Daylite at $70 with a 13-liter main compartment, a 1.23-pound empty weight and a removable webbing hipbelt. Read against the 20-liter Daylite Plus at $80, the smaller pack is the one that stays light enough to clip onto a bigger bag and forget about.
