We investigated popular luggage brands to bring you the best bags for long trips.
Take a glance around an airport baggage claim, and it’s clear that suitcases today come in every imaginable shape, color, size and quality. But not all bags are created equal, designed to withstand the rigors of repeated travel, or spacious or well-organized enough to fit everything one might need or acquire on a longer trip.
Although the top-loading packing well seemed small at first glance, it is surprisingly deep. With the help of adjustable garment-compression panels, a large zip-around pocket and two smaller mesh pockets, the suitcase easily fit 10 days’ worth of clothing and then some. With the pop of a button, Briggs & Riley’s unique plate-hinge CX expansion system added another 2 inches to the Sympatico’s carrying capacity.
Our sample also sat outside overnight after enduring a dousing from the garden hose; though we were concerned the fabric might absorb the water like a sponge, the morning’s dew brushed away with ease, and the dark lining, which is made of 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, was as dry as a Qatari desert. The lining also showed minimal signs of wine and shampoo staining the day after our spill test, making this a reliable option for business travelers who are forever on the move.
The split-wing design includes a compression divider with one large mesh pocket and one small side-wall pocket that unsnaps to reveal a water-resistant laundry bag. For this reason, some travelers may want to invest inif they prefer more storage options. The Large Flex model, which includes a zippered expansion that buys owners an additional 1.74 inches or up to 107.8 liters of packing space, is ideal for anyone who has trouble whittling down their outfits or those who like to shop on the road.
could change your life—or at least the way you vacation. The zippered case splits in half, with each wing featuring a raft of unique packing solutions. One divider panel includes dual zippered accessory pockets and a large WetPak pocket for separating damp or dirty garments; the other has a compression strap and built-in padded zipper pocket for delicate accessories such as jewelry. There’s even an integrated AirTag holder .
For additional insights on checked baggage, I turned to other frequent fliers, including the co-founder of a global travel company and an award-winning hotel and restaurant designer. They shared in-depth guidance on the features and factors to consider most, along with their favorite brands with a maximum weight of 50 pounds, so we didn’t test anything that exceeded this size. Luggage that is overweight or oversized may incur additional fees.
