Sympatico Hardside Domestic Spinner Luggage, Plum, 22-Inch Carry-On

I was referred to this luggage by a friend. Works perfectly and exactly as described. I only wish it came in the Hunter Green like my Torq. Excellent product and well worth the price.

I am a very frequent traveler (although not in 2020, for obvious reasons).  I have been using the same Travel Pro Crew luggage for the last five years and I love this line.  It has held up perfectly and, quite honestly, does not need to be replaced.  However, Ive been very curious about the recent trend toward hard-sided luggage.  To me, hard-sided luggage always looks and feels very 1960s, but I wanted to see what all of the hype is all about. I ordered the Briggs & Riley Sympatico Hardside Spinners in both the 22 carry-on size and the 27 checked bag.

Have a B&R carry on for over 6 years & i love it. Got the check in version - waited a while for it to be available & it was worth the wait - exquisite & non showy. Plus lifetime warranty.

Holds a surprising amount of items, Beautiful design, and all around it just looks and feels luxurious. Is there other luggage that can do the same for cheaper? Absolutely, but the quality is top notch.

love the lightweight and the wheels are very smooth. Biggest issue is the TSA locks are difficult to lock and unlock

This is the first piece of hard-sided luggage Ive had in quite a while. After some negative handling experiences with soft-sided bags, Ive decided a hard-sider is a necessity for air travel. I was a bit shocked when this arrived, as its completely enormous. Big enough for both my husband and I for an entire weeklong vacation, I think.

Its zipper broke after one round trip. Also, when its CX compression system makes weird noises like its springs are rusted. Also, Manoeuvrability on full load is not that great, it doesnt remain in straight line when moving.

Ive always wanted a Briggs and Riley suitcase, but couldnt justify it. But our fold over for suits and nice dresses suitcase was crumbling; and we had a cruise coming up with a lot of confusion on the post-Covid logistics. Were not light packers so I thought we really need a BIG BIG suitcase so we can get by with only two. But weve always taken one rolling fold over suitcase because my husband likes to wear suits and cruises often have formal nights.

So I finally decided to splurge on a Briggs and Riley (that warramty), after tossing money at cheap luggage for 30 years...I originally bought the Baseline soft sided with the matching duffle; LOVED the color (olive and tan) and the duffel was SO spacious. BUT, I returned both after packing the carryon suitcase for a 3 week trip to Italy. Why? Because it tips over once packed. Its all about the wheel positioning....if you open the Baseline and lay it flat to pack you see it has all 4 wheels on one side of the bag. So once you close the 2 sides, the weight from the section without wheels causes it to tip forward. Doesnt matter if you pack the heavy items on the bottom...I tried four times! So I returned and reluctantly bought this hard sided version (I wanted soft sided as I own a set of cheaper Italian hard side luggage) because as you see, 2 wheels are in one side of the bag and 2 on the other, offering a perfect balance once packed. Oddly the back wheels are larger than the front, sont know why but doesnt affect the way it rolls or stands up. The compression function is amazing! Ive been traveling 3 weeks now in Italy with this suitcase and a backpack (Im 5w yrs young) and it has help up spectacularly on cobble stone streets and firs as a carryon in all planes so far. Its easy to lift into the trains with handles conveniently placed. the extender handle goes pretty high so tall people will love it; you can adjust it lower as well (which I do since Im only 55). The color is beautiful and I dont see one scratch on it.

Almost everything about this case feels exceptional quality, something you notice the moment you open the box and see that it’s delivered in its own soft-touch drawstring bag to keep it pristine when not in use. Nice touch.
