Key Features
The CX expansion system adds up to 25% more packing capacity when you need it, then compresses back down to standard carry-on size — so you can pack for the return trip without checking a bag.
A dedicated front pocket fits most 15" laptops and includes a tablet slip pocket, keeping your gear accessible without digging through your main packing space.
Lockable zippers with a built-in TSA-approved combination lock let security inspect your bag without cutting or damaging the hardware.
Briggs & Riley will repair any damage — including airline damage — free of charge, no receipt required, for the life of the bag. It's one of the strongest warranties in the luggage industry.
Expert Take
If you're a frequent flier who dreads checked bag fees and delays, this is the bag I'd point you to. The front-pocket layout is the real standout — your laptop stays completely separate from your clothes, which makes both TSA lines and hotel unpacking a lot smoother. And with that Briggs & Riley lifetime guarantee covering even airline damage, this is the kind of carry-on you buy once and stop thinking about.
