Briggs & Riley Wheeled Cabin Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this in black online directly from Altman. They confirmed the order by e-mail but I heard nothing further. When I called they said it had shipped and would call back with tracking information. No one called back. I called again the next day to learn that the black was backordered for six weeks. I wonder how long I would have waited for this to arrive had I not called to inquire?
I then found a different B & R online, called to see if it was in stock, asked about this one and they had that too in black. I guess the phone continues to be good, at least if dealing with any operation other than Amazon.

Delsey Helium SuperLite 29" Exp. Trolley Review

This is a large bag! I purchased this suitcase for a 15 day trip to Europe where we would have no chance to do laundry. It was great. I packed my husbands clothes in this bag as they were heavier than mine. The bag was not full and all the clothes fell to the bottom of the bag each day. The bag was full with our purchases and his dirty clothes when we returned home and it was still under the weight limit. If not for the weight limit of 50lbs. by the air lines, we could have gotten all our clothes in this one bag for this trip. I rolled all our clothes with tissue paper and they came out of the bag looking great even on the last day. It rolled great and stood up fine with the support legs on the front (unlike others we have had that fell over if they were packed full)and was a pleasure to deal with on a daily basis. We did not use the outside pockets or the extension, but I think if the bag were packed full so the clothes can't move and the pockets were used, it would be very heavy to pick up...just because of its size. It is very lightweight by itself. I will purchase a smaller size of this same bag for our next trip. Very happy but do wish I would have bought a smaller version of this bag.

Briggs & Riley 15.4 Inch Executive Expandable Briefcase Review

Briggs and Riley 15.4 Inch Executive Expandable Briefcase
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This bag is perfect for 1-4 day business trips. The outside section has pockets and containers for every possible gadget and knick-knack you could imagine bringing with you. The middle section has a padded sleeve for your laptop, with room for other files. The inside section can hold plenty of papers, magazines, and books, and can fully expand to hold enough clothing and toiletries to last a short week's journey. The construction is solid and has so far lasted 2 years of hard travel without a single sign of wear. This is a great piece of luggage at a great price.

I am surprised this brand is not better known. Perhaps this is because they use a small advertising budget? If the budget was larger no doubt the prices would be higher. The quality is easily the equivalent of Hartmann, perhaps better. Smoother rolling wheels have not been invented. This is our third piece - no, not replacements, additional pieces.

Briggs & Riley 15.4 Inch Slim Rolling Briefcase Review

Briggs and Riley 15.4 Inch Slim Rolling Briefcase
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This rolling case is just the right size, now that laptops are slimming down themselves. Small enough to actually fit under airline seats. Light enough to easily carry up a flight of stairs. On a daily basis I carry my 15" laptop and 11" notebook along with an adapter in this case, and still have ample room for a file or two of papers. Rolls smooth as silk, and very solid construction in the telescoping arm. Ingeneous attachment that fits onto most any rolling carry-on, so you can roll through the airport with your carry-on with this briefcase attached.
And Briggs & Riley lifetime service warranty is awesome. After over a year of rough use, the zipper seam started to rip. I sent it into B&R for repairs, and it came back good as new.

Samsonite DKX 29" Expandable Upright Spinner Luggage "Black" Review

Samsonite DKX 29 Expandable Upright Spinner Luggage Black
Average Reviews:

I have had a lot of trouble with suitcases. The airline smashed one, and I bought "the best" hard sided, spinner wheeled suitcase to replace it. It arrived on the luggage carousel with the zipper opened on either side of the pull, clothes spilling out, and a hole near one of the wheels. Also, because the suitcase opened in the center, it had to be put on the floor or a bed since a luggage rack wasn't big enough.
This suitcase is the perfect solution. It opens near the side, so it fits on a luggage rack and is easy to access. It also is extremely durable. So far the same airline hasn't been able to destroy it. This one is a winner!

Briggs & Riley Deluxe Travel Tote Review

Briggs and Riley Deluxe Travel Tote
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I needed a bigger carry on/handbag for my many business trips, and i finally bought this bag after drooling over my boss's bag as he has the same one in green, which i have carted around for him on many a trip already. I had previously been carrying a small messenger bag - my only item besides a large checked bag - no matter where i went. I finally decided the messenger bag was a bit too small.
I must have literally browsed every duffel and tote available, literally thousands, looking for a perfectly sized bag that i could carry on, fit under any seat, and give me maximum space, functionality, and durability. I just kept coming back to this one.
since leather was not an option the choice was actually pretty easy. Nothing else came close. almost everything was too big, oddly shaped, or just plain crappy. This bag has more pockets was more durable, and better priced than anything else.
Briggs and Riley is of course known for making top quality well designed luggage and this one certainly measures up. excellent zippers, well thought out pockets, and organizers, and lots of them. the strap is comfy and places in a well balanced position, the magnetic handle casp is a nice touch. great overall materials, padding, and durability. i can imagine this bag will last a lifetime, and I travel a lot.
It is amazingly difficult to find a quality bag this perfect size. most of them are too big, or oddly shaped so that you cant really shove them under a seat. this one is perfect. from tiny prop planes, to business class, it has always fit under the seat. even when I'm crushed into coach, i can reach into all the pockets without having to pick it up off the floor or disturb the person next to me.
Most importantly, it holds a lot!
i cant think of anything i don't like about this bag. Even the price was right. I am actually surprised that it did not cost more.

Briggs & Riley 21 Inch One-Touch Carry-On Expandable Upright Review

Briggs and Riley 21 Inch One-Touch Carry-On Expandable Upright
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Briggs & Riley 21" LX carry-on is a solid, well-constructed bag that seems likely to last for many years. The novel expansion function is particularly outstanding. But other features make this bag impractical for many travelers. As a result, I quickly returned mine in favor of a different option.
The most serious flaw concerns the enclosed sleeve for dress clothes. While seemingly spacious, the sleeve's design doesn't take full advantage of all that space. Clothes hangers rest on a hook in the sleeve, rather than sticking out the top as with many others manufacturers' bags, and the garments thus hang low in the sleeve. If your suit or dress is long, it will stick out the sleeve's bottom opening. When the sleeve is then folded, the bottoms of your garments are uncovered and easily damaged or wrinkled.
After folding, the sleeve is placed into a zippered compartment in the inside lid of the case. This compartment is neither wide enough nor thick enough, so that if you try to pack anything more than a single suit, the sleeve doesn't easily fit into the compartment. One then has to jam the sleeve inside, wrinkling the contents. This is an unfortunate flaw, as otherwise this case is certainly large enough to warrant a suit sleeve that holds two suits.
The whole bag is very heavy for a carry-on, weighing more than 11 pounds when empty. This may not be an issue for taller, stronger travelers, but placing the bag in a plane's overhead compartment would be a challenge for some. Airlines also impose weight restrictions on carry-on baggage, and this bag is more than halfway to those limits before you put a single thing inside. Airlines don't often bother to weigh your carry-ons, but sometimes they do.
Finally, the bag is a bit too large to be a carry-on in Europe, where I travel. While it fits into most overhead compartments, it does not fit into many carry-on sizers that are found at airline check-in counters in European airports. The bag is actually 21.5 inches long, not 21 as advertised. But the real concern is the bag's girth, which is at least 9 inches when you take into account the exterior handle mechanism. Airlines don't usually ask you to prove your bag's carry-on-worthiness in the sizer, but if they do, you'll probably be out of luck with this one.
This is an excellent bag if you don't need to pack more than one suit, and if you don't mind the possibility of having to check it into the baggage hold. Otherwise, be wary.

Briggs & Riley Luggage 20" Expandable Upright Wide-body Carry-on "Rainforest" Review

Briggs and Riley Luggage 20 Expandable Upright Wide-body Carry-on Rainforest
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the third Briggs & Riley bag I've purchased in the last several years, replacing older hardsided Samsonite luggage that needed to be retired. I'm equally satisfied with the same quality build and amenities of the Transcend series as my other two B&R from the Baseline series. This little carry-on case is rugged and extremely well built. The exandable body makes it possible to pack additonal or emergency clothes, and to keep clothes from getting packed down in. The tri-fold section comes in handy for dress pants, shirts, or dresses. I don't know that you could get more than one full suit in here though, but I haven't tried it. There are zippered compartments all over the place. It also looks like you can replace the inner liner in case of spill or tear damage. The bag itself is very lightweight and compact, so it should fit fine in planes with smaller overheads. Only possible negative may be the high pricetag, but in this case (pun intended) you definitely get what you pay for.

Large size spinner. Great large wheels, which makes it easy to manouver. Huge capacity- fits just within limits allowed to avoid oversized baggage for air travel. Sturdy. Avoid temptation to overload. Lockable and can be opened by TSA. I also have the smaller size which is great too. Had to move internationally and these have made moving large amounts of luggage a breeze.
