Briggs & Riley Baseline 20-inch Upright
- Durable
- Lifetime warranty covers accidental damage
- Rolls easily
- Fits better on planes than bigger carry-ons
- Expensive
- Doesn't hold as much as bigger carry-ons
Briggs & Riley luggage costs a lot, but it's also one of the most durable brands you can buy, experts and owners say -- and Briggs & Riley's lifetime warranty even covers airline damage. The Briggs & Riley Baseline 20-inch Upright doesn't hold as much as big carry-ons, but owners say the smaller Briggs & Riley case is easy to fit into the overhead bin. It also has a unique, easy-access laptop pocket that owners find very convenient. Briggs & Riley enjoys a lot of brand loyalty; several owners say they've carried the same sturdy Briggs & Riley bag for years, and they describe it as rolling "effortlessly" and "weightlessly."
