We travel mostly to Africa/Asia and have found Briggs & Riley luggage very sturdy and easy pull through even a crowded primitive airport. Have not had any breaks, tears or bad marks on our two large rolling khaki duffels during the six years we have had them. The 28-inch Expandable Upright that we recently purchased is a very versatile bag but sooo big that we have to be extra careful not to pack overweight for most airlines, (we do tend to pack heavier items like boots and hiking/birdwatching gear). That does defeat the purpose of having an expandable bag for us. Were we to purchase this bag again, the 26 inch would be more practical.

This is a great quality bag and an excellent value when compared to the retail price. The bag is very large and roomy and easily holds a weeks worth of clothing. I will be purchasing another one for my husband.
