Key Features
The bag expands to give you up to 22% more capacity when you need it, then compresses back down so it doesn't feel bloated on the return trip. It's one of the more practical expansion systems out there.
Briggs & Riley mounts the handle on the outside of the bag (their Outsider® handle system), which means no bar cutting through the interior — just a clean, flat packing surface that's much easier to work with.
The Baseline is built from ballistic nylon with reinforced corners — a material known for holding up well under checked-bag conditions like overhead bins, conveyor belts, and cargo holds.
Briggs & Riley repairs the bag for life — including airline damage — at no charge, with no proof of purchase required. It's one of the strongest warranties in the luggage industry.
Expert Take
This is the perfect one-week-or-more checked bag. The CX expansion system is even more impressive on a bag this size — you can fit an incredible amount inside, and the flat interior makes packing clothes neatly much easier than most checked bags. If you travel more than a few times a year and want a bag that's built to last, the lifetime guarantee alone makes this worth serious consideration.
