This review is from Briggs & Riley ZDX U-Zip Small Travel BackpackSolid choice for professional single bag travel
Fit under the window seat in main of a Delta 737-900ER, which are quite small, but I had to keep one foot under it instead of beside it. Chest strap came in handy and really took the load off my shoulders. Fit a Briggs large packing cube stuffed with 4 days of socks/boxers/shirts/1 dress pant/ 1 quarter zip, a toiletry bag, a tech organizer, a laptop (not in the sleeve because it made things thicker), quart bag of liquids, day bag on top of all that in the main compartment. Still had room in the top pocket for all my quick access things and you can fit an entire full-size set of headphones easily in there if you want. It gets pushed out from what is packed in the main but you shove the material back in and create a custom pocket of sorts. I used the water bottle holder on the side that comes out with elastic instead of the one advertised in the zipper pocket, I am not even sure they mention there are technically 2 water bottle pockets. I fit a 20oz bottle without issue in it. Tracker pocket was a nice touch as was RFID (love the orange), I liked all the other random outside pockets for random receipts and such. I didn't have a use for the bottom shoe pocket this round but I can see once in a blue moon to be glad it's there, it was nice the bag sat flat and stood up on its own. On the way back I fit in a drinking cup, a larger sweater, a hat, a really thick book, and a cloth tote. For a weekend trip I think you'd have room for trinkets, after the 4-5 day mark you'll be hauling a second bag. Security guards at Moscone Center in San Francisco really liked the bag, and you know they have seen a lot of bags.

This review is from Briggs & Riley Baseline Medium Convertible BackpackGreat Travel Bag!
I wanted to never check a bag again and this is helping me make that goal a reality. I can bring one carry on suitcase and this Briggs and Riley bag as my personal item and I have enough packing room for a 5-7 day trip. This bag is very roomy, has a great zip shut internal garment space, and it seems to be incredibly well made. I love it so far and highly recommend for anyone looking to double their packing space for short trips. Never check a bag again!

This review is from Briggs & Riley Baseline Compact Medium Checked Expandable SpinnerLove Love Love
I purchased this along with the matching cabin spinner and it changed traveling forever!! I can’t tell you how many people commented on how much simpler my system looked than their own, including my travel partner. The glide, the packing space, the stackable concept ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I travelled Jet blue and the cabin spinner fit perfectly under the seat in front of me and was perfect for my international travels! This set is by far my favorite purchase of 2026 thus far and I can’t wait to use it more.

This review is from Briggs & Riley Baseline Compact Medium Checked Expandable SpinnerWonderful bag!
I bought the 21” expandable ZDX because it has an exterior handle so the interior packing area is flat and fully 8 inches deep. This matters to me because, with a flat suitcase bottom, I don’t lose 1-1/2 inches of interior depth because the rods don’t intrude into the bottom of the bag . Also I really like that my packed items stay in place and are neat when I open the bag at my destination because there aren’t any rods which stick into the bag which prevents tight packing and prevents my bag contents from shifting during transit. I like packing the bag so it’s full and neat and opening it and it’s still full and neat, not with the contents shifted and a mess every time you move it. This flat packing accommodates my whole stack of packing folders on one side of of the bag and leaves room for all of my other stuff on the other side of the bag. I really like that the bag is wider (15 inches) and shorter (21 inches) rather than a standard 22 inch x 14 inch wide bag. Besides accommodating my 15-inch long packing folders sideways (which maximizes packing space) this shorter height makes it easier for me to maneuver the bag as a shorter person. I really like how smooth the rolling wheels are and the bag rolls straight (unlike so many other brands) and very smooth, especially over thresholds such as from tile to escalator or elevator to carpet without catching. I also like that the retractable handle locks at 1/2 height (great for a shorter person!). The ZDX expandable is 2 pounds lighter than the Baseline expandable and allows my packed case to be a little lighter weight which is good for hoisting up into busses and trains.

Bulky and Uncomfortable
While this looks great in concept, this backpack is bulky and hard to carry. It has a luggage sleeve but good luck getting this backpack onto your suitcase especially if it is full. Would not recommend this backpack - especially if you are petite or short

Traveling Big and Small
For years, my husband and I have traveled with our large Briggs & Riley suitcases, his in black and mine in navy blue. We love that the large size holds everything and gives us choices of clothes while on our trips. But on a recent trip that was going to require more luggage handling, I decided to keep it simple and travel in a minimalist style. I purchased the compact suitcase and the backpack, both in the same navy that I enjoy in my large. I found that the compact and backpack gave me plenty of room to pack what I needed, and gave me wonderful flexibility and ease for that type of trip. The quality and thoughtful design of the Briggs & Riley line has allowed our love of travel to flourish as we age.

Perfect with Carry on Suitcase
Was going to Spain for 15 days, took a carry on Travel Pro and this amazing bag from B&R. The zipper compartment can hold a medium to large packing cube, as well as a couple other items. Then there’s more room for computer and whatever else. Slides perfectly over handle. Loved it for all carry on❣️
