Know before you buy
The handle is mounted on the outside of the bag rather than the inside. This creates a completely flat interior packing surface, which helps prevent wrinkles and maximizes your usable packing space.
The CX system allows you to increase the bag's packing capacity with a simple one-touch pull. Once you have packed your items, you press down on the case to compress it back to its original size, keeping your belongings secure and organized.
At 22 inches, this bag fits most domestic airline carry-on requirements. However, international carry-on size limits can be stricter, so it is recommended to check the specific size policies of your airline before traveling abroad.
Briggs & Riley offers a lifetime guarantee that covers all functional aspects of the bag. This includes repairs for components like wheels, handles, and zippers, ensuring the suitcase remains operational for the long term.
Two-wheel inline skate wheels are generally more durable and offer better stability on uneven surfaces like cobblestones or curbs. While they require you to tilt the bag to pull it, they provide a smoother, more reliable roll than many spinner models.
