Spinners, Black, 22-inch Baseline Essential Carry-On

This is my 5th Briggs & Riley bag, the quality is as top notch as the rest of them. My only concern is the dimensions add up to 67 inches - well beyond the 62 inch maximum allowed by US airlines for checked luggage. Im not sure how I feel about having to worry every time I check in for a flight that Im going to be charged for oversized luggage.

Well built and easy to use

I have used Briggs and Riley for YEARS for my international travel. I have 2 Baseline suitcases; one is the 22 inch 2 wheel expandable, and the other is the Global 21 inch 2 wheel expandable. I love the expansion system (or I thought I did). We also have a Tumi 26 check luggage expandable bag but it is a bit too heavy and limits the packing due to the weight issue so I thought I would pick 2 of these spinners as a replacements for the Tumi - mistakes were made! I am so glad I only used one of these. VERY disappointed and have returned the other that was never taken out of the box. Either the expansion system or the zipper damaged my clothing. I have a brand new pair of pants that tore down the seam/fold of the pants, and my sons suit pants are also ruined with multiple small holes that run down the seam of the pants. When we arrived at our destination and I saw the clothes I was so upset. I cannot tell how it happened but I wish I could return this suitcase too.

I bopught 2 of these and we used them both for a trip to Canada. These do NOT live up to the hype. Firstly when fully packed and expanded these are not stable and the handle is way too flimsy. Our bags weighed 53 & 57kgs respectively, which was fine as we were travelling 1st class but the handle on these large bags is way to flimsy to support the weight of the bag. This makes it difficult to control the bag. There no brakes on thw wheeels and the bag constantly runs away from you. The extender inside the suitcase only works when the bag is empty. If you overfill your suitcase and then want to extend it, it doesnt work and so you need to take everything out your suitcase and start again. Its full of gimmicks that simply dont work. Its back to reliable Samsonite for us!!!

It wouldve been the perfect bag for short business trips if it only had a padded laptop compartment—preferably a 16-inch one for the MacBook. Other than that, it is great.

I dont think much more need to be said. This is expensive, you get what you pay for - with B&R - the bag is near perfect. The material is sturdy, wheels are effortless and quality is precise. If ones budget allows - this is the epitome of the ideal (non disposable) luggage for any trip.

Excellent product but pricey

I love everything about the B&R tall baseline spinner carryon w compression tech. Absolute genius, its compression ability. Only downside, a bit heavy but there are trade offs in everything. A bit heavy won out over the very real possibility of the airlines losing luggage on a two week trip to Europe w multiple destinations. Two weeks of clothing and footwear. Worth every cent.

I debated long and hard, medium or large, ultimately I went with the medium. Even with this slightly smaller bag I find myself running out of weight before I run out of space. If you pack lots of bulky lightweight items the large might work better for you, but I think the medium is the best size for most people.

Great quality, functionality, and warranty. It has everything you need and nothing you dont
