Briggs & Riley luggage sizes
Briggs & Riley is a premium travel luggage brand best known for its Simple As That lifetime guarantee, which repairs a bag for its lifetime even when an airline causes the damage. Its flagship Baseline collection is built from ultra durable ballistic nylon and features the exterior mounted Outsider handle and the patented CX compression expansion packing system. The newer ZDX collection adds lighter woven nylon softside spinners alongside polycarbonate hardside spinners. Briggs & Riley sells through its own site and authorized retailers including Amazon and Nordstrom.
Briggs & Riley publishes two dimension sets for each wheeled bag: Exterior Dimensions (includes wheels & handles) and Case Dimensions (excludes wheels & handles). The exterior set is the overall gate sizer measurement and is stored in exterior; the case set is stored in bodyOnly. Depths are listed as a compressed to expanded range, so the stored exterior depth is the compressed value and expandedDepthIn is the expanded value. All dimensions are published in inches with cm secondary.
