Briggs & Riley appeals to me because of it’s clean lines and understated appearance. I chose the olive because it is much more attractive than your everyday black case. The external handle system is what really sold me on this bag because you gain much more packing space and we all know how important that is!

Perfect For

This Briggs & Riley carry-on is my one and only suitcase. It is great for weekend trips and it even allows me enough room to pack for full week trips. The internal pockets and compartments make organizing for your trip a breeze. With the internal suiter you can bring along your best attire for a night out on the town. This bag is great for a business man or a beach bum.

Favorite Feature

The best feature of this bag is Briggs’ ingenious idea to have the telescoping handle on the outside.  It may not sound like much but every bit of space counts, when your like me and need all the room that you can get. I don’t like to check my luggage because I don’t like the extra time involved. This feature, with the handle on the outside of the case, allows me to take much more along for my trips.  

Drawbacks

I suppose the only drawback is the temptation to use the expansion. I like to know the option is there, but I try avoid using the expansion so I will not have to check the bag.

Bottom Line

This is a great bag. It is versatile and can be used for business or pleasure.  There is plenty of room and organization for any kind of traveler. Briggs & Riley builds a great product, and they stand by it with their warranty.
