Briggs & Riley Baseline Upright Luggage - 28" Expandable

fabulous suitcase, attention to detail. excellent

Was VERY impressed w/my B&R expandable carry-on, so had high expectations for this piece. Quality's there & it's light considering the large size (preferred smaller size, but STP price was too good to pass up). "One touch expansion" is gimmicky; it's simply 2 internal locking mechanisms that a) take up space, and 2) don't allow "compression" once it's packed (my technique is to zip bag closed with gussets expanded, then zip up the gussets for a snug, compressed piece of luggage. "No can do" with this system). Nice hangup bag stows within; should eliminate need for separate one. Just hope it all doesn't go over airline weight limits, the limiting factor for bags this size. Despite all the above, I'm keeping it and would recommend it at STP pricing. Plus B&R claims they'll fix anything, anytime, regardless of cause or fault.
