Reviews

22” Carry On

"Best piece of luggage I’ve ever owned! It’s obvious that every little detail was considered when constructing this piece. The clothing bay, used with the compacting system is surprisingly large. The sturdy wheels make rolling smooth and steady. Fits on every airline’s carry on, which allows no worries! Highly recommend!"

Scott W. (5/5)

Should have bought it sooner

"I had been looking at this bag for a while and finally pulled the trigger - I’m very happy with the purchase and should have bought it sooner. Looks great, top line functionality, and very durable. Most bags look worn after the first use - I’ve already taken this one on 7 trips, with lots of rough handling - and it still looks brand new."

Paul M. (5/5)

Didn’t hold up well! Wobbly

"I’m not really happy with this carry-on which I took to Europe. Number one it didn’t hold as many clothes as the person with me who had a smaller European size. Carry-on. Number two the handle became extremely wobbly with a short amount of time and the wheels didn’t spin easily like they should. I would like to return it."

AnneMarie L. (3/5)

Love the bag! Luggage strap not so much

"The suitcase is fantastic and doesn’t disappoint. As cabin crew I am however disappointed in the luggage strap attachment. I have had the suitcase less than a week and the luggage strap came off and is nowhere to be found. For the price point a better strap locking attachment on the suitcase is needed. I have heard the same complaint from other crew members that have this bag. Other than that I love this suitcase."

Z (4/5)

Wandering gait.

"The wheels are not as responsive as I had hoped. With the large cargo backpack mounted on the Handel for the ride through a busy airport the 22’ Carry-on had a tendency to wander around and not track in a consistent manner. Truthfully I wish I had ordered to two wheeled option!"

Mark P. (3/5)

Exceptional carry-on. As rugged as

"Exceptional carry-on. As rugged as our slightly older full-size bags, and the wheels on this new one are seriously friction-free in the airport. The navy blue color, our first, is very sharp."

David C. (5/5)

Exactly what I needed

"After 9 year with the “other” big suitcase brand and nearly 1M domestic miles it was time for a new bag. I went back on fourth on staying with the other brand or switching over to Briggs and Riley. Ultimately the simplicity of this bag was what drove me to it. Not having the bars within the suitcase cannot be overstated on what an advantage that is for packing. I travel 2 to 3 days a week on average and I’ve had the bag now for over 60 days and many trips. It is sturdy. It is small enough to not be overwhelming, but big enough to handle a four weeks worth of travel when needed."

Matthew S. (5/5)

Great investment

"The space and quality of the bag are definitely worth it. Only downside is the handle is a bit flimsy, not a dealbreaker because everything else makes up for it but a small call out. Otherwise great bag"

Sebastian O. (5/5)

Perfect

"It’s the perfect size for a few days. Packed clothes for both my husband for a three day trip and had plenty of room. Fits easily in overhead bin on the plane and wheels roll really nicely."

CARLA R. (5/5)

Quality & durability is good.

"Quality & durability is good. I just don’t think it’s good for ease. I have a hard time with it while traveling for work as a Flight attendant. I doesn’t move well on carpet & the spinner makes it more difficult."

Jennifer T. (3/5)

Q&A

If left on an airport’s tarmac in the rain, would the luggage contents get wet? I had a bad experience in Tampa,FL with another brand’s soft side luggage. Luggage was left in the rain.
Good Morning Jan, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Our bags are water resistant. If they get overly wet or are in the rain they and the contents can become wet.
Please compare to 21” international carry on spinner
Good Morning Debbie, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Briggs & Riley Baseline 22" Domestic Carry-On Expandable Spinner offers a capacity of 37 to 48 liters when expanded. In contrast, the Briggs & Riley Baseline 21" International Carry-On Expandable Spinner has a capacity of 37-49 liters when expanded. The slight difference in capacity is due to design variations tailored to meet specific international and domestic carry-on size regulations. The 21" model is optimized for international travel, adhering to stricter size limitations, while the 22" model is designed for domestic use, offering a balance between size and capacity.
how many inches does the expandable part go up?
Good Morning Danny, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. The expansion area adds an additional inch to the bag.
I have several Briggs & Riley cases, including a now fairly worn carry on. Is there any trade in credit available? Thanks
Good Morning Giles, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley, You will want to email our customer service team at customer-service@briggs-riley.com.
Good day, I have a 22" carryon bag which spinner wheels tires are deteriorated and need replacement. I live in South Florida. Please advise how to get it fixed. Thanks! Regards, Afshin
Good Morning Afshin, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Please emails customer-service@Briggs-riley.com with your style number and one of our team members would be happy to assist you with that.
