Dedicated to making travel easier, Briggs & Riley designs luggage and bags around real-world wants and needs. The company owns multiple patents, including the Outsider handle design (providing more capacity inside your bag) and Tartex (a durable, moisture-resistant fabric). Briggs & Riley believes so strongly in its products that the company offers a lifetime repair guarantee.
I am a flight attendant. My company provides my luggage which isn't Briggs and Riley. 6 yrs ago I purchase my Briggs and Riley rollerboard. High quality and a company that stands by their product with a great warranty. I changed my company backpack to the medium cargo Briggs. Great bag, high quality and can't be happier.

On my second backpack
This is my second one of these back packs. Was hoping it got better, nope. While over quality and construction is unmatched it has 2 design flaws that is making me search for a better bag. First, after bag is broken in, when hooking it on top of spiner (suit case) it sags forward. Part that slips over handle needs too be higher up. Loaded pack make suit case easy to tip forward if loaded up, especially it you have a light load in suitcase. Second water bottle pocket is a joke. You must think we only drink baby bottles. Should be able to fit good sized insulated water bottles or coffee cup, it doesn't and I have to stuff it inside bag, which is inconvenient. Your own picture is a clue. Nobody uses the type of bottle in your picture, have for 20years. I also agree, straps are to dainty. Come, it been years with no improvement. It's not about money, we are already paying stupid money, build it better. 200 days a year work traveling for 40 years. I have bought and worn 6 or 7 Brigs peices. Please, get with it... this bag is really for beginners with no experience...

Great backpack!
The Medium Cargo Backpack by Briggs and Riley works great for those who are on the road on business travel. There are so many compartments to easily organize everything needed while out of the office.

Weekly traveler
Having had to replace my swissgear every year for three years, I grew tired of blowing through bags, hooking them on things beneath the seat, and just generally not holding up with daily active use.
This bag is the best constructed, logically organized, most usable and functional bag I’ve owned. I will be replacing every piece with Briggs as they wear out.

Medium backpack
This backpack is amazing. Very comfortable and traveling with the back is very easy with many pockets. I would make only one change to the water bottle area to make it fit a stainless bottle since I store mine on top vs its pocket. Great job overall.

The Best Backpack in the World
I have a collection of old used backpacks of quality brands, that are all worn and torn and broken in some way, but I cannot seem to part with them. Until now. This Briggs & Riley backpack is of such supreme quality and functionality that I know I will never go back to any other old (or new) backpack. The quality of the materials and the craftmanship of the build are second to none. I honestly regret not getting this B&R backpack much sooner. I can literally say I have the best backpack in the world.
