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

Just returned from 4 weeks in Mali, Africa with this suitcase traveling hundreds of miles throughout Mali. My suitcase of choice has been Briggs & Riley for many years and I have never had a complaint with any of them. 40 years of international travel in over 80 countries many many times.

It didnt work for me, I returned the bag because I wasnt fond of the compression mechanism on the sides. I normally load my carry-on very tight and the compression would not hold the maximum hight, it would continually go down and I had to keep pulling it up. For people not loading their bags so heavily it is a well built bag. Also the zipper buckles are sideways so it made zipping the bag difficult for me.

Let’s face it. It better be way above average to warrant this price right? You could buy several cheap models for one of these. But I’ve had this brand luggage for 30 years and more than 3 million actual air miles. I’m a fan. Mostly bc of their warranty, which I have used many times. Also the frame on the outside is a game changer for those who need to be a professional packer for work. Vaca only use? Maybe not necessary, so get something cheaper.

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!

Almost everything about this case feels exceptional quality, something you notice the moment you open the box and see that it’s delivered in its own soft-touch drawstring bag to keep it pristine when not in use. Nice touch.

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