Key Features
The front-opening compartment lets you reach your laptop or tablet mid-flight without opening the main compartment or wrestling the bag out of the overhead bin — a real time-saver during boarding and deplaning.
The polycarbonate construction is lightweight for a hardside bag at 8.4 lb and provides solid protection for anything packed inside, whether you're gate-checking or stowing overhead.
Need a little extra room on the way home? The expansion system adds packing capacity, and interior compression panels help keep everything cinched down and wrinkle-free.
Ricardo backs the Brentwood with a 10-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship — solid coverage for a bag you'll use regularly.
Expert Take
If you're a frequent flyer who's tired of unpacking half your bag just to grab your laptop at security or settle in on the plane, the FastAccess pocket on this one is a feature you'll actually use every single trip. I'd recommend this especially for business travelers who move fast through airports — the combination of a protective hardside shell and that front pocket is a smart pairing. It fits carry-on requirements and the spinner wheels make navigating a busy terminal much easier.
