Briggs & Riley BRX Explore 22 Upright (Giveaway)
June 7, 2010A very happy Giveaway Monday to you!
I need to introduce you to Briggs & Riley’s new line of luggage, the BRX, perfect for families that need exceptionally functional pieces that are lightweight, rugged and durable(!).
With the airlines imposing fees for checked baggage, I make it my special project to pack our family of 4 into 2 carry-ons, and for this reason, I’ll be talking about the Briggs & Riley BRX Explore 22 Upright here…
This weekend I flew solo to Michigan for Girl’s Weekend (more on that tomorrow) and I was pleased as punch with my new carry-on.
Here I am entertaining myself during a layover (I’m sure my fellow gate mates were slightly curious why I was photographing my luggage):
This is a very well thought-out and designed carry-on. There is literally a place for everything. I love the exterior open pocket for my tickets (I’m always losing them in my purse), magazines, etc.
Inside, a roomy compartment for clothes, dob kits, and shoes. (Those are my dirty clothes making the lid pocket bulge.)
But my all-time favorite feature of this bag is the padded laptop spot in the front pocket. Obviously, I’ll only use this when I’m carrying my bag on board, but I’m thrilled I don’t have to carry it in a separate bag.
But never mind my babbling, here are the real features:
- Weighs only 7.0 lbs
- The Outsider® handle system allows for more interior space. Bars are on the outside for a spacious flat packing surface inside.
- Easy pack main compartment with wide nylon compression panels keep your gear flat and neat
- Inside top lid features wet/dry pocket and essentials compartment for additional organization
- Quick access front pockets and two exterior, zippered front pockets offer space for accessory items
- Expandable slash pocket perfect for light jacket, guide books or maps
- Tapered zip expansion keeps bag lightweight while maximizing carry-on capacity
- Front zip compartment stores up to a 16″ laptop(!)
- Simple as that® lifetime warranty even covers airline damage
Here’s the happy news:

on June 11, 2010 9:12 pmThese are the best cases I have ever seen, I have been a user of the transend cases for years but the BRX look more casual less structured for my lifestyle!
