Know before you buy
The Outsider handle is mounted on the outside of the bag rather than the inside. This creates a completely flat interior bottom, allowing you to pack clothing without awkward humps or ridges from the handle tubes.
Yes. Briggs & Riley’s 'Simple as That' warranty is comprehensive and specifically covers damage caused by airlines, which is rare in the luggage industry. You do not need to provide a repair receipt or proof of purchase to initiate a claim.
The Speed Dock is an integrated hook system that allows you to securely attach a compatible soft duffel or secondary bag to the front of the upright. It keeps your hands free while navigating through airports or transit hubs.
At 26 inches tall, this bag is generally sized for trips lasting 5 to 7 days. Its capacity is optimized by the exterior handle design, giving you more usable volume than a standard suitcase of the same external dimensions.
The tethered strap is designed to be universal, so you can use it to secure most standard carry-on bags or personal items to the handle of your BRX Explore. It provides a stable connection point to keep your secondary bag from sliding off while you move.
