Briggs & Riley26" Medium Expandable Spinner - Checked Luggage for Travel, Suitcases with Wheels, Softside Rolling Bag for Men & Women, Self-Repairing Zipper - Baseline Collection, Black

I finally replaced an old Samsonite carry-on that had some nice features when it was no longer acceptable for overhead use in some planes, and found this as a replacement. it is crazy expensive, but has some great features for how it holds shirts and has a nice squarish size that can be easily packed when fitting shoes plus some other non-cloths items inside. The 'outside sleeve' power station holder is a nice touch, as is the little zipper pocket near the top that allows you to stash your watch/wallet etc. just before security screening. It only has 2 wheels so has to roll straight, but that is ok with me, because that is what allows the handle pieces to be outside the packing area, and provides a location for the outside power station carrier. Crazy expensive, but on 4 recent trips, 2 stateside and 1 to Europe, I saw multiple flight crew members using the identical bag, so that means it will last, or the company's warranty is good (no receipt needed for 10 years), or both. Solid build quality, and the backpack from the same company fits nicely on the extended handle, and balances very well.....no more worry about if it will all tip over. Very happy customer with a high quality product from a company that builds great products.

I have a few B&R suitcases and this has quickly become my favorite. The ability to have quick access on the front without giving up too much space is convenient (though I rarely use the outer pocket - I like having the option). The ability to expand the suitcase and pack it out and then compress it (if and when needed at the airport) is really nice. Many times I can leave it expanded without any issues, but I know I always have the option to compress it and get it up in the overhead. Everything is well built and the B&R warranty is a great piece of mind as well.

I absolutely adore this suitcase! This is the first time I’ve purchased and expensive suitcase and a couldn’t be happier. So many great pockets and features. It rolls so easily. I am a chronic over-packer and this one suitcase can hold enough for a 10 day trip easily! My favorite feature is the built in hanger bag for your dress shirts and other delicate items. I’m 5’4’’ and this is the perfect height. I’m glad I didn’t buy the next bigger size. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

The Wirecutter recommended this as their 'upgrade pick'. It's expensive but my previous spinner bag had a busted wheel and after a long tour of duty I felt it was time for something new. Something nice. I treated myself to this bag and I'm so glad I did. I quickly added a duffel bag / underseat carryon bag which helpfully fits right on the handles of this 22 inch spinner bag. I can walk around in an airport at a fast pace deftly maneuvering this 4-wheeled wonder through even the busiest terminals. But getting there is only half the fun, what's it like when you get there? This bag is unbelievably well designed with thought given to how to make use of every cubic inch of space. A zippered pouch lined orange for small items. A pocket for travel documents. Room for three hangers of clothing. A large front pocket perfect for my MacBook Air. With all the main supports heavily armored with tough plastic to not only provide protection of the goods inside but also serving to maximize the internal space. It might feel a tiny bit loosey-goosey but this is absolutely to the thing's benefit. The bend-dont-break model makes this an incredibly robust piece of luggage. Able to stand up to the daily abuses of travel even if that travel is an extended period of time. I spent 34 days on the road in the fall 2023 with this Briggs & Riley 22-inch spinner bag and was always grateful to have it as my constant companion on an unforgettable trip.

I bought this suitcase to pair with the B&R duffle bag. The combo is perfect! I've mainly used the duffle, and my wife the suitcase.The size of the suitcase is to be expected since we're talking about standardized sizes. For most domestic travel this suitcase will fit in the overhead bin or luggage rack. However, this suitcase has a unique feature that allows you to fold up a suit or two, or a couple dresses. This makes traveling with nicer attire much easier, giving you the storage of a larger suitcase in a smaller form.The build quality is to be expected with the price tag. Immaculate, great attention to detail with leather accents and embossing, high quality zippers, etc. No loose threads or any sign of lower quality. The outside is rugged! Despite going through several trains and stations, across old parking lots and downtown sidewalks, I have zero issues with scratches.I've had one issue with this suitcase so far, hence the 4 stars. For $700 I expect a suitcase to be perfect. I read a few review about people having issues with the wheels steering straight. I experienced this problem after arriving at our hotel. After I slid the B&R duffle over the handle, I noticed that while my left hand was driving, the wheels remained perfectly straight and there was no issue. When I switched to my right hand, I could feel the wheels pulling away from me, which required me to torq the handle to get the bag to stay straight. Oddly enough, I experienced this immediately upon first use, but the problem seemed to greatly diminish after running the wheels over some asphalt through normal use.However, it's worth mentioning as I don't believe you should have a single problem when paying this much money for a single piece of luggage. Despite the amazing guarantee, who wants to have to return something so soon after purchase and pay for the extra shipping?Overall this bag does what it set out to do. I'm going to CLOSELY monitor the wheel situation, and will update my review if things change (for better or for worse).

I love this suitcase. It is so easy to use, rolls nicely, and has stood up well to multiple flights being checked. Highly recommend as a good quality product.
