Reviews

Great suitcase

"I have used it on two trips since I received it. I went to France for 10 days and it was perfect - rolls smoothly everywhere and is easy to repack when needed. I’m just coming home from a week long car trip moving every night and it was so easy to keep everything in order and put dirty clothes in the other side from clean. It was also easy to lift in and out of the car - I am so glad I bought this suitcase!"

— Helen R. (5/5)

2nd purchase for the color

"Five years ago, I switched to a heavy travel role helping companies with safety and ergonomics. A veteran "travel warrior" friend told me to buy Briggs & Riley. They were right. My first blue Sympatico lasted five years of grueling, multi-site travel and was so good, still in great condition I just handed it down to my partner. I bought a second one in Plum for the color (honestly) and I noticed a few upgrades: More Luxurious Feel: The materials feel noticeably more premium. Smarter Layout: The interior separator now secures to one panel rather than being a two-part system. Both work, this one is better. Smoother Expansion: I didn’t think their compression-expansion system could get better, and idk how but it is. My job brings exhausting early mornings and late nights. When I'm packing, B&R Sympatico is doing all the work, I just show up. Love it!"

— Karen C. (5/5)

Better than expected

"I bought this for my wife and she loved it. It's easy to pack and unpack, easy rolling, easy carrying if have to. A bit on the pricey side, well made quality product well worth the investment"

— PETER B. (5/5)

Very Happy with both purchases

"I bought a mid size suitcase for overseas travel, with my initials stamped on it, I am extremly happy with both suitcase and personal stamp so ordered a carry on expendable which I am also extremly happy with, will be using Briggs and Riley for all future luggage needs, also was delivered to Australia perfectly."

— Joey R. (5/5)

Great bag - just what I wanted!

"While I haven't had the chance to use my new luggage yet, I do love the look and feel of the bag so far. From previous experience, I can tell that the bag is the right size for my needs and I love the added functionality of the built-in compression device. It is the perfect sized carry on with a stylish look and sturdy material. I am so happy with my purchase!"

— Michael H. (5/5)

Our second one. Excellent interior,

"Our second one. Excellent interior, love the exterior. Would recommend."

— Heather S. (5/5)

First use, but not the last

"Received the Essential 22" carry on spinner in green, in time for a trip to Portugal. This carry on moved smoothly through the airports and on the cobblestones in Porto, Coimbra and Lisbon. It's tough and rugged, had no issue checking the suitcase for an early boarding pass since it's so well built. I also liked the zippered compartments inside that held all the smaller essentials. Packed 2 pr of jeans, 5 tees, 2 long sleeved shirts and pj's, as well as socks and underwear, with a little room to spare for souvenirs. Very pleased with my purchase."

— Joan F. (5/5)

Quality dropped

"I have one of these purchased in 2022, and I just bought one for my husband in 2026. I also have other Briggs and Riley suitcases that have lasted for many many years and been repaired. Unfortunately the new one is terrible quality. The hard shell is very thin now and dents when pressing to compress the suitcase. The compression mechanism pops open very easily (not from stuff in the suitcase pressing the button). We had a down jacket in the suitcase and the compression mechanism kept failing so the suitcase kept expanding. I do not recommend buying this model until an updated version is released."

— Julia T. (2/5)

I love the size, perfect

"I love the size, perfect for carry-on. But… not the same red tone as my other red Briggs & Riley suitcase bought a couple of years ago 🙁"

— Lyne P. (4/5)

Very nice 👍

Q&A

Do the interior dimensions listed refer to when the bag is compressed or are they the dimensions when the bag is fully expanded? INTERIOR DIMENSIONS 19.75 x 14 x 9 in: Good Afternoon Kristina, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. The interior dimensions of this bag when expanded are 19.75" x 14" x 11.25"
Are these storable within one another?: Good Afternoon Keri, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. The bags do not nest together.
Can this bag be pulled behind and rolled on the back 2 wheels (underside) like a standard 22" flight crew roller?: Good Afternoon Markus, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Yes, this bag can be pulled by while using just the two back wheels.
How far does the handle extend? As a tall person, I often have suitcases pulled behind me hit my feet as I walk due to the short handle length: Good Morning Lindsay, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. The handle from the floor to the first stop of the bag is 41". (Fully extended is 44")
Love the idea of the expandable, but not clear on whether the expansion will allow bag to fit in overhead area?: Good Afternoon, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. This bag comes with the CX compression plate. We do not recommend using the bag fully expanded.
