Briggs & Riley - design + warranty cannot be beat.

When you say design ... I think you mean functional design. Cuz it looks like 🤮

I own an Away (medium - checked bag) and two BRs (hard shell sympatico and the soft side baseline - both carry ons).

BR has a superior compression system, the lifetime warranty, and overall better durability.

I prefer the Hinomoto wheels on the Away that provide slightly smoother roll on flat surfaces.

However, if you like to pack your bag to the seams, the away handle will struggle to go up and down easily. The BR handle is on the outside of the suitcase so you avoid that issue.

Overall go BR and don’t look back.

Briggs

Got to know a guy who is one of the few remaining licensed repair places for most of the main brands. Has been repairing luggage for 30 years. For his money he said Tumi makes a great case But that you really cannot beat Briggs and Riley because of the warranty

I need to put in my 2 week notice and all my recuiter has said is I can push your start date out. Has anyone been thru this ? Does getting the D launch orientation email imply everything is good with background/employment checks
