Sympatico Hardside Domestic Spinner Luggage, Plum, 22-Inch Carry-On

My first reaction when taking my new carry-on out of the box was wow! It looks so sleek. My wows kept going; I couldnt help lifting the handle and walking across the room. The handle has so many choices for height (My other only has 2). There is also a side handle that makes picking it up to stow away easier. My biggest wow is how smooth it glides across the floor. The lack of sound coming from the wheels is a thrill. Its very light, too.

I bought as a replacement for an aging TravelPro carry on, and I could not be happier with my decision. The built-in compression system is almost magical, and really makes a difference in how much you can pack. While my travel typically involves 3-4 day business trips, I was able to pack for a week-long family vacation without issue. The bag is light but sturdy with high-quality construction. The wheels rolled exceptionally smoothly, and the variable handle heights were comfortable at multiple levels. While I dont anticipate having to do so any time soon, I will absolutely buy another Briggs & Riley when the time comes.

So I finally decided to splurge on a Briggs and Riley (that warramty), after tossing money at cheap luggage for 30 years...I originally bought the Baseline soft sided with the matching duffle; LOVED the color (olive and tan) and the duffel was SO spacious. BUT, I returned both after packing the carryon suitcase for a 3 week trip to Italy. Why? Because it tips over once packed. Its all about the wheel positioning....if you open the Baseline and lay it flat to pack you see it has all 4 wheels on one side of the bag. So once you close the 2 sides, the weight from the section without wheels causes it to tip forward. Doesnt matter if you pack the heavy items on the bottom...I tried four times! So I returned and reluctantly bought this hard sided version (I wanted soft sided as I own a set of cheaper Italian hard side luggage) because as you see, 2 wheels are in one side of the bag and 2 on the other, offering a perfect balance once packed. Oddly the back wheels are larger than the front, sont know why but doesnt affect the way it rolls or stands up. The compression function is amazing! Ive been traveling 3 weeks now in Italy with this suitcase and a backpack (Im 5w yrs young) and it has help up spectacularly on cobble stone streets and firs as a carryon in all planes so far. Its easy to lift into the trains with handles conveniently placed. the extender handle goes pretty high so tall people will love it; you can adjust it lower as well (which I do since Im only 55). The color is beautiful and I dont see one scratch on it.

The is the nicest, best designed piece of luggage I’ve ever seen. Everything about it screams quality and convenience. I’ve owned hard cases before but never one quite like this. It’s modern and sleek and pretty much indestructible. The material is strong and durable while still having a little flexibility so it’s not going to end up dented. The wheels are more like wings. Seriously, rolling this case around is effortless like it’s flying. The handles pull out just a bit when you need to use them then snap back flat when you let go. The little attached pouch on the back is genius. It unzips to hold a portable charger and has a small hole to run a cord through to charge your device. There’s also a luggage tag holder that slides in and out. The interior has plenty of room and can be expanded to add more space. The expansion is brilliant. Instead of adding a few inches of weak material or fabric, the case remains structured and strong when expanded. There are three zippered pockets on one side and the main area has elastic straps to hold your clothing in place. I really like that there is padding under that area rather than just a piece of fabric. It protects your items from being pressed into the metal bars of the pull out handle. The final level of security is the combination lock which is easy to set and holds the zipper pulls securely. Those pulls also come together when locked and you can put a padlock through them. I’m thrilled with this piece of luggage. The quality is superb and the thought and care that went into the design are noticeable and appreciated. It’s a pricier piece but it’s worth it to keep everything safe and secure, and it will probably outlive me.

Love the fact that the handle doesn’t take up room inside the case

This is an excellent carryon luggage bag.

I like the superior quality of Briggs luggage. Very roomy and glides smoothing no matter how full you pack it.

I travel extensively and have used Briggs and Riley luggage for years now. The quality and durability of their baseline series is unmatched and all of my pieces have held up to whatever the airlines and my travel throw at them. Ive never had a hardside piece before but its clear that B&R used the same features and quality from the baseline series in this line as well. Luggage is very lightweight for its size, wheels glide flawlessly, handle is firm and secure, double zipper locks insure security and the expansion feature guarantees you will be able to take home those extra things you bought while on vacation. Love this and will buy another!

Penny wise pound foolish. Just spend a little more to get High grade quality. Love this luggage, rolls effortlessly!
