"This bag is worth every penny! It fits under the seat in front of me on planes, and I can fit everything I need for a weeklong trip in thus bag and my carry on. It has lots of roomy pockets and a good sized main compartment. I’ve had it for about a year and travel twice a month. It looks brand new still. Buy it!"

Reviews
I love this bag!!!
"I LOVE THIS THING!! I take it everywhere. It is my everyday bag. It’s always with me. I love the open compartment. I keep a sweater in one side and a coat in the other. I do wish it was a TAD bit bigger but I’m a crew member so not everyone will use it like me. There also could be some more organization and I wish my big iPad could fit better."
Love this bag
"Had it for years. Wish they had this exact bag in the size that is the maximum for global carryon travel standards. This bag is a little small to serve all the functions I’d like. The zdx large duffle is too big for global carryon. Surprised Briggs doesn’t have a duffle that is maximum allowable size for global carryon."
Perfect size for a two
"Perfect size for a two nights. Perfect number of pockets/compartments. Just fits under the seat. Comfy carrying strap."
Great overnight bag
"This bag has great storage compartments. You can carry this bag or attach the bag to your roller bag. I filled this bag to capacity. This bag became to big for me. Very good quality for the price. Space is amazing for overnight bag."
carry on/underseat bag
"This bag is indispensable. I really like all the pockets and features to stay organized. It slips easily over the handle of my carry one and is plenty roomy for a long trip."
Nice bag, But. . .
"Does not fit under many of the seats. I fly united and it does not fit under first class seats, and I struggle to get it under economy plus seats. I often have to smash it down to get proper placement so its out of the foot area Great bag but I have to get something else as again, it does not fit well under most airline seats. If you have a isle seat forget it. I now just put it in the overhead luggage bins which defeated the purpose. I do like the way the compartments are organized on the bag."
Perfect for an overnighter.
"Very nice design and well-made. It was a bit wider than I expected; however, it will hold everything I need for a short trip."
I love the bag but it’s floppy
"I have the Briggs and Riley 2 wheel roller bag and this duffel flops from side to side while walking through the terminal. It’s a constant struggle. The duffel has plenty of space for everything I need on a trip and I haven’t had any issues getting it under seats while commuting"
Perfect flight bag
"I love the bag"
Q&A
- Does this actually fit under airline seats or not? The description says it does, but many reviewers indicate it does not. Which is it?
- Hi Jeremy, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Underseat sizing can vary by airline and may change over time, which can make it a bit tricky when selecting the right bag. Based on the dimensions, this particular style may be slightly wider than what some airlines allow for under seat placement. We always recommend checking directly with your airline for their most current guidelines to ensure the best fit for your travel needs.
- What is the size of the padded laptop pocket? have a 15” laptop and I want to be sure it’ll fit…
- Good Afternoon Janice, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. The size of the laptop area is 6.6" x 9.4" x .24"
- Can you tell me what the dimensions are of the main duffle storage area without any of the extra exterior pocket areas included.
- Good Morning Kim, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. The size of that area is 13.5" x 9" deep x 10.5" high.
- What are the two small loops on either side of the luggage pass through?
- Good Morning Tim, Those loops are part of the design of the bag, they are not actually open, they are part of the main bag area.
- What is the width of the opening on the slip-through back panel? I have this bag and the opening is too big so the underseat bag slips off my carryon.
- Good Afternoon, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. This should be 9"
