I needed a bigger carry on/handbag for my many business trips, and i finally bought this bag after drooling over my boss's bag as he has the same one in green, which i have carted around for him on many a trip already. I had previously been carrying a small messenger bag - my only item besides a large checked bag - no matter where i went. I finally decided the messenger bag was a bit too small.

I must have literally browsed every duffel and tote available, literally thousands, looking for a perfectly sized bag that i could carry on, fit under any seat, and give me maximum space, functionality, and durability. I just kept coming back to this one.
since leather was not an option the choice was actually pretty easy. Nothing else came close. almost everything was too big, oddly shaped, or just plain crappy. This bag has more pockets was more durable, and better priced than anything else.

Briggs and Riley is of course known for making top quality well designed luggage and this one certainly measures up. excellent zippers, well thought out pockets, and organizers, and lots of them. the strap is comfy and places in a well balanced position, the magnetic handle casp is a nice touch. great overall materials, padding, and durability. i can imagine this bag will last a lifetime, and I travel a lot.

It is amazingly difficult to find a quality bag this perfect size. most of them are too big, or oddly shaped so that you cant really shove them under a seat. this one is perfect. from tiny prop planes, to business class, it has always fit under the seat. even when I'm crushed into coach, i can reach into all the pockets without having to pick it up off the floor or disturb the person next to me.

Most importantly, it holds a lot!

i cant think of anything i don't like about this bag. Even the price was right. I am actually surprised that it did not cost more.
