Essential 22" Carry-On Expandable Spinner

Fantastic carry on

"This is my third version of this size carry on in 15 years and my first time with four wheels. I travel short haul almost every week and so really need a reliable case. Love the expandable section that can be minimised from the outside - a big improvement on my last version. And I am converted to the 4-wheel version having always liked the “pull” motion having two wheels! Top quality and love the pockets. You can tell this has been designed for people who travel a lot."

Heavy carryon, well built, compression

"Heavy carryon, well built, compression tech is a game changer. Watch YouTube for packing videos to truly maximize the features of this carryon. The wheels feels a bit flimsy and I wouldn’t be surprised if a new telescopic handle is required within the next 12 months. The blue color scheme is the ultimate flex. I can tell you, there are quite a few black B&R essentials on each flight."

Review on my four wheeler 22 in

"I’m a Flt attendant and the 4 wheels are wonderful for my shoulder smooth sailing through the terminals! The only complaint is the J hook doesn’t stay on and that definitely needs improvement something I use every day! That’s why I rated it a four out of five"

Great bag

"I am in construction and travel often to visit jobsites. This bag has been great for me. With the garment carrier has been great because in addition to reducing wrinkles I can keep my clothes separate from my hardhat and work boots. The bag rolls well and fits easily in the overhead bin, and the compression feature has been helpful when I'm trying to fit toiletries and non-hanging clothes around the hardhat and boots."

Wonderful but heavy!

"Very nice, but. . . . VERY heavy even empty. Sigh. Beautiful suitcase and oh so well engineered. I still love it, but need to start weight training to even get close to getting it in the overhead bin myself. Luckily the flight attendant was cheerful and helpful. She did say "OOooooo. . . . how do you like your Briggs and Riley?" She admired it. So do I."

So far, 4 weeks of

"So far, 4 weeks of weekly use, it is a beautiful bag. The press down compression is less exciting then I thought. It pops right back up. But the bag is deceiving. It is small and yet big. I use it for my 3-4 day trips and use my medium check B&R matching bag for 5+ days or winter travel. I use a cover to stop the wear from the baggage handlers as much as possible. One of my favorite parts is the garment feature. Perfect for the business traveler like me."

Quality on wheels

"I bought for my husband a navy blue version of the red 56cm Carryon Expandable suitcase that I had bought years and years ago. It looks very smart, has some new features that strengthen as well as improve the look of the case. The case arrived very promplty as promised and has already been used for two trips and another coming up."

A FANTASTIC piece of travel gear.

"This is an outstanding piece of travel gear. Truly great. As I get older and continue to rack up travel miles, I am more and more about eliminating friction. This case helps with that in a huge way. It is not only well made, it is well conceived. The separate compartment for hanging garments is genius. The ability to expand for packing and then compress for travel is equally inspired. And the wheels are the cherry on top. They are so much smoother rolling than the bag this bag replaced that it's less like I'm pulling it and more like it is simply following me. I can't recommend this case strongly enough. Stop thinking about it and just buy it. You'll thank me."

"I’m am so excited to pack these bags, this is the Queen of luggage, as a flight attendant you want good dependable luggage and look professional thank you 🙏🏻"

I worked at an airline

"I worked at an airline for 13 years, including 10 years in baggage, so I’ve seen just about every kind of suitcase and how they hold up over time. After finally getting a Briggs & Riley, I completely understand the reputation. The build quality is top tier. Everything feels solid, well thought out, and made to last. My particular flavour of autism apparently includes being extremely opinionated about luggage quality 😂, and after watching a lot of once-great brands decline over the years, this bag genuinely impressed me. Expensive, yes, but the quality is absolutely there."
