Weekender bag with Outsider aluminum frame to maintain shape, removable snap-in laundry bag, and isolated shoe compartment.

โ˜… Best PickA+Best Overall

Away's The Weekender is the most thoughtfully engineered bag in this category. The Outsider aluminum frame keeps the bag's shape on both full and half-packed days โ€” a feature that sounds minor until you've watched a fully-packed soft bag collapse sideways in an overhead bin and crush your lunch. The removable laundry bag snaps into the base of the main compartment and comes out for hotel use; it's a better solution than a separate packing cube. The shoe compartment is fully isolated. The padded laptop sleeve is slim but adequate for a 13โ€“15 inch laptop. Available in five materials including a fully recycled nylon option.

Pros

  • Outsider aluminum frame maintains bag shape when not fully packed
  • Removable laundry bag integrated into design
  • Isolated shoe compartment

Cons

  • Higher price point
  • The branded look is recognizable โ€” a deliberate design choice that's a pro or con by preference
