Well-Designed Quality

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2020

I used my previous Briggs & Riley for 25 years traveling all around the world and now it’s being used by a very lucky thrift store buyer. This new one looks like it will hold up for several decades. Solidly made and thoughtfully designed. Roomy and versatile.

Large, but not in charge...

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2015

I really wanted this bag to work, but it didn't.
Pros: Easy to pack. I travel for a lot for work and pack all my items in eagle creek squares and dropping them into this suitcase was quick and easy. The separation of top and bottom was handy for packing shoes, etc.
Cons: As another reviewer noted, it's too large. The infrastructure does not support the size (tips forward, handle wobbled something fierce, not enough handles to help lug it up train steps, etc.). I am a loyal B&R user and have my suitecases that have over 500 flights apiece so this experience doesn't deter me from buying this brand - I'll just be buying a smaller version of a more traditional style.

Simply the BEST LUGGAGE ON EARTH!

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014

This is our fifth piece of Briggs & Riley and it continues to confirm the truth: They make the BEST luggage you can buy. Yes, its pricey. So don't buy a whole set at once--replace pieces one by one if you must but you MUST REPLACE THEM with something with quality that LASTS, features that make sense, and this bag is a great place to start for your "big" bag. The combo of a flat spot for the fold-preservables and the duffel on top is a brilliant concept and the heavy-duty stitching, materials, wheels, and workmanship means that nothing the gnomes at the airlines can do to it will harm it. We have its little brother, a roll-aboard overnight bag, and cases for both our laptops from this company and will buy MORE as the need arises. Yes, I know, I know, it is EXPENSIVE! But you are paying for TOP QUALITY, not "designer name" nonsense. Honest! Get some. Now.

Holds it all

My second round of grown-up luggage. I ditched the red set from my 20s and went for Briggs and Riley. This bag holds an unbelievable amount of stuff. I packed shoes, bottles in the secret compartment bottom, clothes and everything else in the room middle. It had all of my clothes as well as my children's for a two-week trip to Paris. You'd think small children wouldn't need much but you'd be wrong. (We also used their suitcases.)

It is not a stand and roll, which might be nice but I'm not sure it would work with the shape of the bag. Straps are durable, zipper is strong and sturdy.

Used it for the first time to South Africa and it was perfect. The size was perfect, it was durable, I was able to fit all my clothes, shoes and toiletries...and stayed within the luggage requirements. There was no scratches, scrapes when I got back... it basically looked brand new.

Excellent Quality!

Very roomy and love the split compartments for my shoes and hair products! The top compartment for my clothes holds more than my old Samsonite hard case and couldn't believe how much room there was without needing to pack it all down. I had 4 pants 3 heavy wool blazers, jeans and other tops with still more room! The durability is exactly what is advertised and can't be more pleased. I had a pair of boots, 2 pair of shoes, 2 bags of liquids and makeup plus the hair dryer and 2 curling irons in the bottom compartment. All I can say is THANK YOU Briggs & Riley!

The quality is top-notch, but unless I was planning on using it to travel with lots of things wrapped in bubble wrap, it's just too big. Have flown with it twice, and both times had problems with it being over the airline's allowed weight, had to shift stuff from it to other bags. Going to have to be relegated to road trips with the family where weight isn't an issue. It does store A TON of stuff, and seems to be built very well. B&R have a legendary warranty, so I have full confidence in its ability to hold up for the long haul, but I'd caution against this one if you're planning on flying with it since you will go overweight if you pack it anywhere near full.

Best large, rolling duffel bag on the market. Lower zippered section convenient for shoes or to separate items.
This is a large, durable, no-frills bag.

This suitcase, much lauded in a Forbes article, is a mixed combination that tries to be all things to all travellers but ends up only satisfying big noters like the Forbes Reviewer but not me. I am not a "road warrior|" (sic), just a guy who spends too much time travelling and looks to suitcases to get his stuff where he is going and access it EASILY when he gets there. This case has only 2 wheels so cant be easily managed through the interminablularge airpirt terminals with a minimum of effort like a 4 wheeler. When I get to yet another hotel room I want to pull my stuff out, hopefully uncrumpled and then put it back the next morning.The bag is accessible like a kit bag but maybe I'm not a kit bag guy, unless its for the weekend in my Porsche and his bag doesn't fit under the bonnet. Its way too expensive and wont get any special treatment from the airport guys because it is a fancy and overpriced

A little expensive

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2020

Size: Medium 27-InchColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Briggs & Riley bags are a bit expensive but are built well. My issue is receiving a defective bag then after returning it received another one with another defect. I needed the bag so I kept the second one regardless of the defect. It’s minor - one of the strap buttons are missing thus the straps can’t be closed together. I will eventually have it repaired by Briggs & Riley.
