Know before you buy
Yes, because the handle tubes are mounted on the outside of the bag rather than the inside, the floor of the main compartment is completely flat. This eliminates the awkward bumps found in most suitcases, allowing you to pack clothes without wrinkles and utilize every inch of space.
At 6.3 pounds, it is quite lightweight for a hardside-adjacent softside bag. Its dimensions of 14 x 9 x 22 inches are designed to meet most standard airline carry-on requirements, making it easy to lift into overhead compartments.
The micro weave nylon is engineered to be highly resistant to moisture, dirt, and abrasion. It is a professional-grade fabric that maintains its appearance well even after frequent travel, and it is significantly more forgiving than hardshell luggage when it comes to scuffs.
Briggs & Riley is known for one of the best warranties in the industry. They cover the repair of functional components—like wheels, handles, and zippers—for the life of the bag, even if the damage is caused by an airline.
The full-grain napa leather is high-quality and durable, but like any premium leather, it can show wear if handled roughly. However, these accents are primarily used on touchpoints and handles, which are designed to age gracefully with regular use.
