Know before you buy
The CX system allows you to expand the bag to increase packing capacity by up to 25% when you need extra space. Once packed, you simply press down on the sides to compress the bag back to its original size, ensuring it fits within standard airline overhead bin requirements.
Yes, because the handle tubes are mounted on the outside of the bag rather than the inside, the interior floor of the suitcase remains completely flat. This prevents your clothes from getting wrinkled by the handle tracks and provides more usable packing space.
At 22 x 14 x 9 inches, this bag is designed to meet the carry-on requirements for most major domestic airlines. However, if you frequently fly on smaller regional aircraft, you may occasionally be required to gate-check the bag due to the limited size of those specific overhead compartments.
The four double swivel wheels are engineered for 360-degree navigation, providing excellent balance and stability. Even when the bag is fully expanded, the low center of gravity and high-quality wheel construction keep it rolling smoothly without tipping.
Briggs & Riley offers a comprehensive lifetime warranty that covers functional repairs, including damage to wheels, handles, and zippers, regardless of who caused the damage. It is a 'no-questions-asked' policy designed to keep the bag in service for as long as you own it.
Yes, Briggs & Riley offers free monogramming for this model. You can add your initials to the designated leather patch to help identify your luggage quickly at the airport.
