Know before you buy
Yes, the 20.5'' x 14'' x 10.3'' dimensions are designed to meet carry-on requirements for most major airlines. However, we always recommend checking your specific airline's size policy before flying, as some budget carriers have stricter limits.
By mounting the handle system on the outside of the bag, the interior floor remains completely flat. This removes the typical 'bumps' caused by handle tubes, allowing you to pack your clothes and gear more efficiently without wrinkles.
Yes, the bag features a dedicated compartment that accommodates laptops up to 16 inches. It provides a secure, padded space to keep your tech protected while you travel.
The bag is equipped with rugged, low-profile wheels designed for durability and stability. While they perform well on various terrains, the low-profile design is specifically engineered to handle urban environments and airport terminals with ease.
Briggs & Riley offers a comprehensive lifetime warranty that covers functional repairs for the life of the bag. This includes issues with zippers, wheels, and handles, ensuring the luggage remains operational regardless of how much you travel.
The integrated docking system allows you to attach a smaller personal item or briefcase to the front of the carry-on. This lets you transport multiple bags as a single unit, keeping your hands free while navigating through the airport.
