Know before you buy
Yes, with dimensions of 21.5 x 9 x 15.5 inches, this bag is designed to fit within the carry-on limits for most major domestic and international airlines.
The 80/20 split features a deep main compartment and a shallower lid, which allows you to pack bulkier items like shoes or heavy layers more easily while keeping the bag stable when open.
Makrolon 100% virgin polycarbonate is highly impact-resistant and designed to flex under pressure rather than crack. While hard-sided luggage can show surface scuffs over time, this material is specifically chosen for its durability and ability to protect your belongings.
The included garment carrier is a specialized insert designed to keep suits, dresses, or dress shirts wrinkle-free during transit. It folds neatly into the bag, allowing you to pack formal attire alongside your casual clothing.
Yes. Because this bag is covered by Briggs & Riley’s lifetime limited warranty, the wheels and other functional components are designed to be serviced or replaced if they fail over time.
At 7.8 pounds, it is a mid-weight option. While there are lighter soft-sided bags available, this weight reflects the added protection of the high-strength polycarbonate shell and the internal organizational features.
