Know before you buy
Yes, because the handle tubes are mounted on the outside of the case rather than the inside, the interior floor is completely flat. This removes the typical 'bumps' caused by handle tracks, allowing you to pack more efficiently and keep your clothes wrinkle-free.
With dimensions of 14 x 9 x 21 inches, this bag is designed to meet most international carry-on size requirements. However, it is always a good practice to check the specific carry-on policies of your airline before flying, as some regional carriers have stricter limits.
The 100% virgin Makrolon polycarbonate is highly impact-resistant and designed to flex under pressure rather than crack. While no hardside luggage is completely immune to scuffs, the textured finish is specifically engineered to hide surface scratches and maintain a clean appearance over time.
Briggs & Riley offers one of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry, covering functional repairs for the life of the bag, including damage caused by airlines. If the bag breaks, they will repair it free of charge, regardless of who caused the damage.
The handle is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum with reinforced v-groove tubes, which are designed to minimize 'wobble' and withstand the rigors of heavy daily use. It also features three different stop heights to accommodate travelers of varying sizes.
Yes, the wheels are designed to be durable for long-term use, but should they ever fail, they are covered under the brand's lifetime warranty. You can contact their repair department to have replacement parts or service arranged.
