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 floor, which prevents your clothes from wrinkling and provides more usable packing space for your belongings.
At 21 inches, this bag is designed to meet most standard carry-on requirements for domestic and international flights. However, we always recommend checking your specific airline's size restrictions before heading to the airport.
Briggs & Riley offers a lifetime limited warranty that covers functional damage to the bag, including wheels, handles, and zippers, regardless of how the damage occurred. It is one of the most comprehensive repair policies in the luggage industry.
Yes, the interior features cinch-down garment panels. These adjustable straps help compress your clothing and secure items in place, preventing them from shifting or becoming disorganized during transit.
The SpeedThru pocket is a dedicated, easily accessible compartment designed for items you need to retrieve quickly at security checkpoints, such as your phone, keys, or boarding pass.
At 10.4 pounds, this bag is on the heavier side for a carry-on, which is due to its durable construction and robust hardware. While it may feel substantial, the spinner wheels are engineered to make maneuvering through terminals effortless.
