Know before you buy
When fully expanded, this upright may exceed standard carry-on size limits for some airlines. It is best to keep it compressed for strict carry-on compliance and expand it only when you have the flexibility to check the bag.
Briggs & Riley offers a lifetime limited warranty that covers functional damage to the bag, including wheels, handles, and zippers. You can contact their service department directly to arrange for repairs if your luggage sustains damage during use.
This model features a two-wheel upright design, which provides excellent stability and a lower center of gravity. While it requires you to tilt the bag to pull it, the wheels are built for durability and smooth movement across various airport surfaces.
The upright design typically offers more internal packing volume because the wheels are recessed into the frame rather than protruding from the bottom. This makes it a great choice if you prioritize maximum capacity and rugged durability over the multi-directional mobility of a four-wheel spinner.
Yes, the 10.5 lb weight accounts for the entire construction of the bag, including the internal expansion system. While it is slightly heavier than some ultra-lightweight options, the weight reflects the high-quality materials and robust frame designed for long-term use.
