Know before you buy
The CX system allows you to expand the bag to increase packing capacity by up to 25% and then compress it back down to its original size. Once you have packed your items, you simply push down on the sides of the case to lock it into a compact, secure position.
Because the handle is mounted on the outside of the bag rather than inside, the interior floor of the suitcase remains completely flat. This prevents your clothes from getting wrinkled by the handle tracks and provides more usable packing space.
With dimensions of 21 x 9 x 15 inches, this wide-body carry-on is designed to meet the requirements of most international airlines. However, we always recommend checking your specific airline's carry-on size restrictions before you head to the airport.
Briggs & Riley offers a comprehensive lifetime warranty that covers functional damage to the bag, including wheels, handles, and zippers. They will repair your luggage free of charge if it is ever broken or damaged, regardless of how it happened.
At 8.9 lbs, this bag is slightly heavier than ultra-lightweight soft-side options, but that weight is a result of the durable materials and the robust internal compression mechanism. If you prioritize long-term durability and organization over the lightest possible weight, the trade-off is usually worth it.
Yes, the bag features a dedicated pocket located between the handle bars on the back. This is specifically designed for quick-access items like travel documents, a phone, or a small tablet so you don't have to open the main compartment.
