Medium Widemouth Backpack

Next time you walk through an airport, take note of now many pilots and flight attendants have bags from Briggs and Riley. It’s a lot. These people fly more than anyone else and if they didn’t hold up, they wouldn’t be buying them.

Is there a reason you’re not considering Briggs and Riley? It’s one of the top recommended ones, though it is a bit less flashy on branding. I’ve been happy with mine. To my knowledge they have one of the best warranties and have more service centers (at least for me) than Rimowa or others.

professional? yes. feminine? maybe not. Tumi, MZ Wallace, and Briggs & Riley all have good backpack options. I wear my Briggs and Riley to court and depositions all the time.

Unpopular opinion but here goes anyway. This is a terrible option for actual traveling. It’s heavy with weird dimensions.

Osprey makes amazing bags. As a rock climber and outdoorsman I have had many of their bags and I still have several in my closet as gear bags. For my professional carry bag I carry a Briggs and Riley @work Large cargo backpack and it’s been the best “corporate” style bag I’ve ever owned. I have thei

If you want to flex when you walk into the leadership meeting and don't mind spending $$, tumi makes an outstanding office bags. You can find some nice used ones on ebay. Serial numbers starting with 7 are top quality. Starting with 8 are your made for Costco type version with lesser quality. I trav

I travel nearly 300 days a year and only use Tumi (soft side alpha suitcase) and Briggs & Riley (slim backpack). Carry on 99% of the time. Both have well over 1,000 flights on them in 5 years, have been beaten to hell and still look incredible.

yeah I have a briggs and riley in kind of an army green and it always looks dirty. i’ve tried cleaning it with various cleaners and detergent and a drill brush and the ballistic nylon weave is too dense to effectively penetrate. maybe i should try a pressure washer.
