On our recent trip to South Africa, I finally came to terms with the fact that I suck at packing my carry on. I carry all manner of just in case crap that I never use. And I'm not using a great bag for it. In addition, my big mama suitcase is showing signs of extreme wear. Reevaluations are in order, along the lines of the sponsored post below.

Packing for an upcoming trip is more than
just remembering to take enough clothes and personal care items. Instead, you
also need to consider the type of luggage that you’ll use to carry all of your
valuables. The last thing that you want is to place everything in suitcases
that aren’t secure or strong enough to protect your belongings, or that will be
difficult to carry.
Thankfully, the experts at Briggs & Riley have thought of all
of the best pieces of luggage, giving consumers a new and more advanced way to
pack everything they need. Keep reading to learn more.
One of the most innovative features of the
Briggs & Riley brand is known as CX Expansion Compression technology in the
Baseline collection. This basically gives you maximum capacity to pack
everything you need, all while meeting the carry-on size restrictions for
airlines. You can pack more, compress it down, and still have a great carry-on
bag that’s easy to take with you because it doesn’t weigh too much either.
Instead of the typical wrap-around zipper
that’s common on the majority of luggage out there, the Baseline CX has a
ratchet-up style handle that gives you roughly one-third additional packing
area instantly. Once you’ve finished packing, all you have to do is reverse
this process. You do so by popping the mechanism down again to compress
the bag to its original size. And the best part is everything is firmly
held in place.
In addition to the Baseline collection, there are many others, including the Torq, Transcend, and @work lines, all featuring their own unique suitcases for work and play. This gives consumers a variety of choices to suit all of their needs.
No matter where you purchase your Briggs
& Riley luggage from, you can rest assured that you’ll have a product that
comes with a lifetime guarantee. In the event that your suitcase is ever
damaged or broken, even if an airline causes the damage, the company will
repair it at absolutely no cost to you. It’s really simple, as the warranty
will cover the cost of repair for every functional part of the luggage, for the
entire life of the luggage.
The warranty doesn’t, however, cover things
like cleaning, stolen bags, lost bags, or cosmetic wear. Regardless, it’s
unlikely that you’ll ever really need to have your Briggs & Riley luggage
fixed because these suitcases are extremely sturdy and built really well.
To get your luggage repaired, all you have
to do is take it to any authorised repair shop, or you can instead mail the
luggage to the Briggs & Riley repair centre.
As you can see, Briggs & Riley bags are
very different from other luggage brands, and they do provide the most advanced
way to pack for modern travel. Check out Charles Ford London

What are your carry on musts and out of those musts, what do you actually use?
What type of bag do you use as a carry on?

This actually sounds genius. I used to swear by my Victornox bags, but they are so bulky and heavy compared to the new luggage. I've been on the hunt for new bags for awhile, so I'll have to check these out!
ReplyDeleteHey a good suitcase can last you FOREVER. And I believe in purchasing a good one. This one sounds legit!
ReplyDeleteI use a Briggs and Riley carry on. It was extra expensive, but worth it. I never travel without it, and I don't check my bags, so everything is in my Briggs and Riley. In addition to my clothes in my carry on, I carry a Vera Bradley tote, just in case they make me gate check my bag. My tote consists of the things that can not get lost: coffee mate creamer (lol), jewelry, computer, iPad, Chargers and converter plugs, medicine kit, my purse, all liquids, all essential makeup, toothbrush, hairbrush, whatever sweatshirt or jacket that I need on the plane. I pack in packing compression bags in the carry on. If it doesn't fit into 4 bags, it doesn't go. I use three shirt sized bags (one for pants, one for shirts, one for dresses or work clothes), and one smaller bag for underwear, socks, bras, bathing suits, and tank tops. In addition, I always carry coffee, a water boiler, hair straightener, and soap. I attach my tote to my carry on using a travelon bungee strap that I can not live without. All things must fit in the Briggs and Riley without being expanded, so I have room to shop. Everything in my tote is in a separate see through mesh bag so I'm not fumbling around in a huge bag searching for things. As you know, I'm a crazy packer fanatic. I'm obsessed.
