If things go awry, free user-replaceable parts and a network of repair centers located around the world make quick fixes easy, and the reliable lifetime warranty covers repairs for any kind of damage. The bag also includes a garment folder like the Travelpro does. You won’t get the unique styling that other luxury brands specialize in, but Briggs & Riley’s reputation for reliability and durability is unmatched. Every detail-from the zippers to the wheels to a unique compression system that lets you fit an additional week’s worth of clothing into the same volume as the Travelpro-is made to the highest standards of any luggage maker. This bag provides extra features that frequent travelers or overpackers will appreciate. Though the Travelpro is nice for the price, the Briggs & Riley is nice, period.
If you identify as a frequent flyer or an overpacker, or if you have a large family and are willing to invest in higher-quality luggage for traveling, we recommend the Briggs & Riley Baseline Medium Expandable 25″ Spinner. The combination of toughness and good value makes this the best checked suitcase we’ve found. Travelpro tests its bags by filling them with 70-pound loads and passing each handle through 7,500 automated lift tests. (A luggage scale comes in handy.) But if you’re willing to pay the fee, the Platinum Elite can withstand the weight. Its large capacity is easy to overpack and exceed the 50-pound (22-kilogram) weight limit that most airlines impose.

The lid comes with a built-in garment folder for formalwear that includes a removable folding board (similar to the one in our Briggs & Riley upgrade pick). Internally, the Platinum Elite is well organized across its main and lid compartments. It’s also surprisingly nimble for a checked bag, thanks to a comfortable, height-adjustable handle and magnetically locking MagnaTrac wheels, which make it noticeably easier to maneuver-especially when loaded with 50 pounds of stuff. It looks and feels like a bag that costs a lot more than it actually does. It’s made of a hard-wearing nylon that’s both sleek and durable. The Platinum Elite 25-Inch Expandable Spinner Suiter is the larger, checked-luggage version of our top carry-on pick, and everything we like about its little sibling applies again here.
