I'm a Briggs & Riley traveler - have been using their bags for over 30 years & still have the ones I started with. They are built like tanks, hold a lot & roll very smoothly. The warranty is also very good. They will either send replacement parts to you or you can return the bag to them for repair. BTW - the weight of the bag you featured is only 9.9#, not 11#. Yes B&R bags are on the heavier side, but what a great investment!!!

I travel for work and my Briggs has been with me on 200+ flights over the last few years and it looks brand new. Wheels continue to roll like new and zippers remain solid. I’ve upgraded by checked bags to Briggs as well and they’ve held up well too

That edit at 11:28 was unnecessary and joyous in equal measure. Thank you man. We see you 👍🏻

the Aer is really nice and you're right on about the re/cor material inside, it's really nice .. just feels like the right balance of premium and durability. I don't think you mentioned, but the zipper has a double coil on it .. very confidence inspiring. the layout works, just the right amount of organization, the divider on the open side is great .. really well executed overall. and the locking wheels come in handy more than I thought (on trains, etc). exterior design is really nice too with that gradient that visually hides the size a little. it does scuff but that's what those polycarbonate bags do. very happy with it.

the Briggs and Riley suitcase is so cool! also if you return and want to check it in because you purchased things

[UnknownJorge]

GREAT video! I travel for a week out of every month for work, so not exploring exotic locations, just travel to hotels and offices. For that I got a Travel Pro Maxlite 5 International soft side carry on, and I absolutely love it. It has held up like new over time and that includes having to check it at the gate. If, or when, it breaks I will just invest in the Platinum version of it. Though the new Nomatic carry on has me very intrigued as well as the Shimoda I discovered though this video.

[willhorne]

always happy to see a new video from you

I’ve used travelpro for the last 8 years. It’s held up really well. I’ve been looking to upgrade to Tumi dual access.

Shimoda is just CLUTCH! Having such a simple opening with access to one's shit at a moments notice is a game changer

[travelwithjustin]

"I'm a minimalist traveler." ... brings out 10 bags 🤣 After my oversized carry-on was forced to be checked one too many times I am now in the market for a standard carry-on for some upcoming travel and this was review was super useful, as always.

My man looks like he found a few steaks on the freezer and a kettlebell in the garage 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 Keep it up Chase. You’re doin it 🔥

One thing that people forget is the Carry-On weight limit for international flights. As much as I like the quality and materials of some premium carry on luggage, I prefer being able to pack more things without worry of tipping the scales.

I have the Lojel Cubo which I bought once I got weight anxious with my Briggs.

MUJI has had lockable wheels for a while and so much cheaper. MUJI for checkin and Rimowa for carry on for me

😂 the unexpected southern accent and random Spanish made me feel seen. Lol. Love your sense of humor and your vids.

I love the Bellroy sling. I’d buy any of their stuff based on that one piece. I want nice luggage but I just know how it’s treated by the handlers. On my 10 day Disney trip I brought a Prvke bag and a sling to carry all clothes and Canon r6 kit. It can be done.

[ShimodaDesigns]

Thanks for the feature Chase. Nice surprise. Also all of our leather is genuine leather.

Since 2016 I’ve purchased and owned 5 Brigg and Riley luggage pieces. 2 I have given away. They are the truth. I only had to use the warranty on one piece (the sympatico hardside) because the airline mishandled it grossly and busted it. B&R emailed me with several options to choose from because mine couldn’t be repaired. The one I use the most is the domestic carry on expandable spinner. I normally travel with it expanded which makes it easier to plot small duffle on top. I plan on getting a couple of more pieces this year. If you are an airline employee they do offer 20% off as well. Contact them for more info on that. Great luggage tho! I hope this helps someone. Thanks for the video bro.

Chase... Have you tested Away or Level8?
I'm looking at both during black Friday, but wondering if I may have missed a Chase Reeves breakdown that would point me to a different or better option for business travel

[AmeliaHeldt]

Thanks Chase! Been waiting AGES for you to do a roller bag review. I can’t do a travel backpack because I fill nearly a a whole Wandrd 21l Prvke with my camera stuff haha. Hoping to eventually graduation to a carry on roller from a checked suitcase. I was looking an an eagle creek case/duffle similar to yours, but that is a four wheel spinner! Maybe that’s a good option
