Web ID: 14185349A splurge that’s worth it
The skeptics may wonder: why pay so much for a suitcase? Fundamentally, there are many, many cheaper options out there which do the exact same job. What the skeptics miss is that it’s ok to splurge on things that make the experience better. This suitcase does that in spades. Looks are subjective but I think this thing is truly beautiful in person. I get excited every time I get it out of my closet. And then there’s the function of it. I really like having the telescoping handle completely on the outside rather than disrupting the floor of the suitcase and taking up space. It makes it much easier to stack clothes the way I want. And the compression system works very well both for when you need to fit a bunch of stuff into a small space or when you need to bring back more than you brought. Everything is built very well and I have confidence that if anything DOES break, the lifetime warranty will cover it no questions asked. For me, this suitcase makes me want to travel. It brings some joy to packing (a task I normally hate). It’s a splurge, sure. But one that’s worth it.

Great Bag, Worth the Investmet!
I have traveled for over 30+ years and had other bags but this is by far the best bag I have ever used. Roomy, easy to pack and great quality. Highly recommended and worth every penny!

Built to Last: A Smooth-Rolling, Thoughtfully Designed Carry-On
I’ve had an excellent experience with the Briggs & Riley Essential 22" 2-Wheel Expandable Carry-On, and it has quickly become my go-to travel bag. The build quality is outstanding—everything from the durable ballistic nylon to the solid zippers feels thoughtfully designed and made to last. The two-wheel setup rolls smoothly and tracks straight, even when fully packed, which makes navigating airports and tight spaces effortless. I especially appreciate the expandable feature; it gives me extra room when I need it without making the bag feel bulky or unstable. The interior layout is practical and well organized, making packing and unpacking simple and efficient. What really sets this carry-on apart is the attention to detail and reliability. The handle is sturdy, the bag holds its shape, and it fits easily in overhead bins. Add in Briggs & Riley’s lifetime guarantee, and it’s clear this is a premium product built for frequent travelers who value durability and smart design. If you’re looking for a dependable, well-engineered carry-on that performs trip after trip, this one is absolutely worth it.

My biggest complaint is the
My biggest complaint is the handle. It’s not comfortable at the top but the bar beneath is much better but has nothing to pad it so it hurts your hand. I’m still finding the perfect extension for my usage. The bag looks great and has great systems built within it. I’m very happy about that!

Briggs & Riley are the best
I had a Briggs & Riley carry-on years ago and for some reason moved away from it. I am extremly happy to have Briggs & Riley bags again. Nothing compares on the market.

Great bag, minor personal gripes
A very capable bag but the attachment for the j-hook strap is so flimsy. The wheels are surprisingly low quality and there’s so much extra stuff inside the bag that I presume some people want to hold down and/or separate items in the bag but I personally find them useless and wish there was a way to remove them. Overall, the purchase is worth it for the warranty only.
