4.1 Packing Your Luggage

The Away Carry-On is designed for efficient packing for 3-5 day trips. Utilize the internal features to maximize space:

• Main Compartment: Place larger, bulkier items on the side without the compression pad.
• Compression Pad Side: Lay flatter items or clothes that benefit from compression on this side. Use the adjustable straps and buckles to press down the compression pad, securing your belongings and creating more space.
• Laundry Bag: A water-repellent laundry bag is included for separating dirty clothes.
• Mesh Pockets: Use the zippered mesh pockets for smaller items, toiletries, or accessories.
