Know before you buy
The Outsider handle is mounted on the outside of the case rather than the inside. This creates a completely flat interior floor, which prevents your clothes from wrinkling and provides more usable packing space.
Unlike a traditional 50/50 split suitcase, the 80/20 opening features a deep main compartment and a shallower lid. This design is ideal for packing bulkier items in the main section while keeping the suitcase stable when opened on a luggage rack.
The 100% virgin Makrolon polycarbonate is specifically engineered for high-impact resistance and flexibility. It is designed to absorb shock and bounce back rather than crack under pressure, making it one of the most durable materials for hard-shell luggage.
The Smartlink system includes a built-in strap that allows you to securely attach a smaller bag or briefcase to the front of your checked luggage. This makes navigating through airports much easier by allowing you to transport multiple pieces of luggage as a single unit.
Briggs & Riley offers a lifetime guarantee that covers functional repairs, including damage to wheels, handles, and zippers, regardless of how the damage occurred. It is one of the most comprehensive warranties in the luggage industry.
Yes, the recessed double spinner wheels are designed for durability, but they are also fully serviceable. If you experience issues, the lifetime warranty ensures that the components can be repaired or replaced.
