Essential 22" 2-Wheel Expandable Carry-On

Almost perfect

I like how sturdy the bag feels. I personally feel like the extra weight is worth it for the reliability. I’m disappointed with the wheels. They’re hard plastic and very loud on uneven ground. For how expensive the bag is, I would expect something upgraded like rollerblade wheels. The new “locking” nub for the t-bar accessories is a nice touch. The straps/j-hooks don’t fall off as easily but they can still fall off. A tug in the right direction and your $25 accessory is gone. The structure that allows for expansion is great and holds structure well. I also like that it’s adjustable, it’s not just expanded or not. You can extend it, pack it and then squish it down after you close it.

So I’ve been a flight attendant for about five years and I’ve had the tumi 4 wheel the travel pro flight Crew 5 and I did extensive research on one of the best Crew bag amongst flight attendants and pilots and I decided to go with Briggs and Riley… the garment compartment specifically for my uniforms and the lifetime warranty is what sold me… I’ve had it for about a month now it’s sleek, it’s durable no complaints so far!

Disappointing

I really want to like this suitcase; however, the two wheelers made it less maneuverable plus the handle bar built in on the bottom side of the suitcase makes it harder to place in an overhead compartment- cannot slide in easily.
