22" Sympatico Essential Carry-On Expandable Spinner
Product details
Web ID: 21377122Not worth the high price
Bought this roller carry-on after nearly two decades of a base model samsonite that finally ran its course. Decided to go upscale after reading reviews and consumer evaluations about this luggage. I've had it for a few years and just ordered a third set of replacement wheels as it refuses to roll straight or easy. For the cost of this carry-on, I would expect the wheels to be more robust and not have issues after just a few uses. This piece is treated very well is only used as a carry on and not checked with the airlines. I just purchased my kid a couple hundred dollar travelpro and the thing is much better for a third of the price. . . don't waste your money!

Nearly same product went on sale a week later!
Overall good luggage but nearly the same product went on sale a week later and the company didn’t honor the sale. When asked for clarity on the differences in the product, barely got any kind of response.

Travel bag
Light weight and rolls so easy in every direction. Perfect for the overhead compartment. Top quality, which we’ve come to expect from Briggs and Riley.

Excellent quality and elegant design
I’m really happy with this bag! I took it (and the Rhapsody Expandable tote), on a 10-day European trip and easily fit everything I needed without expanding either bag. On my return flight, I expanded the spinner bag and checked it, then had plenty of room for my in-flight essentials plus duty-free goodies in the expanded tote (which also is a perfect weekend bag). The 22” Expandable Spinner looks great and is very well-constructed. The wheels glide smoothly and they easily handle various surfaces. I read several reviews that reported issues with the zippers and/or expansion/compression mechanism, but my bag functioned perfectly. I do have to mention that it’s a bit on the heavy side (8+ lbs), so when fully packed, it requires a gym membership to hoist it overhead. Also, it exceeds the dimension limits for many International airlines, especially the smaller regional carriers. I usually fly BA to Europe (they have the most generous size/weight allowances), but I’d have to either check it or take my smaller carry-on with most other airlines. The size and weight were not a dealbreaker for me, but your mileage may vary. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my B&R purchases and look forward to many years of travel with them!

As of now we are
As of now we are happy with the product; however, we have not had the opportunity to use the new luggage for travel. We have a cruise scheduled within a week and upon our return we will have a much better idea of how the product performs.

Great for quick trip
I bought this bag because my other carryon had a bad wheel and it was a little flimsy. It did last a couple of trips so I’m not complaining. This bag looks attractive is functional and has more available space inside than most bags of the same size. I brought 3 separate bags, packed them and compared how much I could fit inside the Briggs and Riley won. I will say the bag is heavy so if you want something lighter this may not be for you. You also have to lift it over your head so I check your make sure I can do that as well.

Luxurious
That feeling you get when shutting the door on a luxury car is the best way I can describe using this bag!

Understated elegance
This is a well designed case, with actual packing in mind. It was a good choice over my previous Tumi. Appreciate the warranty as well!
