The verdict
Why it scored a 84
At $729.00 the Briggs & Riley Baseline Essential 22-inch is a single carry-on, not a set, but it is the category's reference bag. Quality leads at 96 and Warranty at 100, since the CX system lets a traveler over-pack then cinch back to 22 x 14 x 9 inches, and the Simple as that guarantee repairs any functional damage for life, airline abuse included, with no registration or receipt. Value drags at 60 on the price and the roughly 10-pound empty weight, heavier than most hardside carry-ons, and the wheels are single spinners. It suits business travelers buying one bag for a decade or more.
