Briggs & RileyUnderseat Cabin Bag - Carry On Luggage for Travel, Softside Bag for Men & Women, Self-Repairing Zippers, PVC-Coated Base, Fits up to 15" Laptop - ZDX Collection, Ocean

I travel 6-8 times a year, within the US and internationally, and I go carry-on only, always.My previous most-beloved international carry-on was a hard shell spinner. The 19” Delsey Helium Aero is so nice that three of them are still in regular use by my family, but between curbs, cobblestones, and carpeting, I was ready to try a roller, and landed on this soft-sided bag.For the last two years, I have packed everything I needed for each trip—always including an empty, flattened backpack (a Topo Designs Rover Mini, another favorite) into this single rolling duffel. This included travel on US and European carriers, to and within Europe.Two years in, everything about this bag has remained where and how it should: the wheels don't wiggle and they show no damage and barely any wear after lots of rolling on lots of surfaces. The extending handle moves smoothly and straight. The material of the bag itself shows no snags or nicks, and the zippers remain as zippy as the day we met. The interior organization is simple, appropriate, and useful, and all of its components—zippers and mesh, dividing panels and clips—are in fine shape.I was prompted to write this review today when I opened the interior lining to attach a better AirTag mount inside. Behind the lining of the inside of the bag is evidence of more quality and care of materials and assembly than I’d have imagined. It’s all finished so nicely, with protective spongy foam pieces over all hardware between the case and the lining, and the actual construction as visible behind the lining makes the price point of this brand absolutely right. You get what you pay for with this one—and it feels and looks like more.With a bag small enough to carry on almost any carrier, you’re not likely to miss a clamshell type suitcase if that’s been your preference. The duffel opening is fine: The strap-down panels inside let you pack your things in two layers if you want to separate easily accessible stuff from what isn’t needed until you get where you’re going.The two outside zippered pockets are reasonable, a large one across the top of the bag with a flap opening, and a much smaller pocket on the side of the bag—useful to stash keys, hand wipes, snacks, etc. On the back of the bag, in the shallow space between the external rails of the extending handle, is a flat, zippered pocket to hold a portable charger.The front of the bag has a large flat pocket with no closure—it’s neither padded nor secure, so not a spot for laptop transport, and a magazine would do better in it than a hardcover book. That said, a big flat pocket on the outside of the bag ends up being a handy catch-all for papers, a snack, headphones, a hat, etc. And a book.Across that front pocket are the two duffle-style straps which attach to each other by a velcro wrap handle. The duffel handle seems more like styling than function—not once have I picked this bag up by it. A suitcase style grab on the long side would be more useful for lifting this bag.Nevertheless, they designed a rolling duffel that opens like a duffel, and this Briggs & Riley rolling duffel has proven to be my most favorite bag I’ve ever owned or used.

B&R people just know how to design and make good luggage. Used this on a 3 week trip through asia and it was the perfect size and shape. It fit everything I needed and still managed to be "compact" for what it is and looks upscale and yet quietly rugged. Loved the 2 wheeled design as it simply follows, never needing to be steered, never fights, and simply doesn't care about jumping down curbs or stairs.Been a loyal Briggs and Riley user for over 30 years and still have and using my 1st suiter. 30 years later, it still looks almost brand new and fits perfectly with this new duffle.Don't be fooled by the renamed samsonites.

I bought this suitcase because I came to the conclusion that 4-wheeled bags are not for me. But I still need plenty of space and lightweight construction. This is an excellent choice. It holds as much as my old 25” Travelpro, and I like the more oblong design. As stated, the telescoping handle is on the outside so the interior space is open, and the bottom is flat (no ridges from the handle apparatus). There’s a nice feature where the straps that you connect to hold clothing in place create kind of a platform which allows you to separate categories of clothes if desired. I haven’t had it long enough to speak to durability but it came through its first trip in good shape and the warranty is excellent.One thing to be aware of, if it’s important to you: Because of the shape, the surface area on top when you’re pulling the bag is smaller than other suitcases. You can still slide a tote over the handle but the space below is a little smaller so some bags, like a duffle, might not sit comfortably.

Fantastic rolling duffel bag. Holds everything I need. Wide wheels are great for going to the campsite, cruising on sidewalks, taking a bus, or anything you need to do when travelling!

Good quality but not good if you’re j hooking or putting a smaller bag on top, it will fall over easily

I love this bag. I love the quality of the material and that its internationally compliant. The handles and wheels are sturdy. Plus, the lifetime guarantee isn't bad at all. highly recommend.

Nice bag. But the way it’s packaged and delivered is all creased and will not return to the shape.

This is the best duffle I've ever owned. I love all the pockets. Water pills up on the fabric, so it's probably good in a little sprinkle or rain. I love the color. The zippers are very sturdy. The straps are made of this seatbelt material, but then it it also has a handle. I got the matching carry-on. I hope they both last many years.
