Briggs & Riley Sympatico Essential 22" Carry-On Expandable Spinner

SKU: SU322CXSP

Packing for a quick domestic trip shouldn't mean choosing between a bag that's easy to handle and one that holds everything you need. The Briggs & Riley Sympatico Essential 22" Carry-On Expandable Spinner is sized for U.S. carry-on travel, with a hardshell CX® expansion system that adds packing room only when you actually need it. It's a good fit for travelers who want the look and durability of a hardside spinner without giving up the flexibility to bring home a few extra items.

The Essential is the Sympatico collection's U.S.-sized carry-on, built from a high-strength recycled polycarbonate shell that holds its shape trip after trip while keeping weight reasonable. One-touch CX® buttons expand the case for up to 25% more packing space when you're checking in extra layers or souvenirs, then compress it back down to its original carry-on profile for the trip home. Inside, cinch-down garment panels and a mix of zip and mesh pockets keep clothing flat and smaller items easy to find, while a soft-touch recycled lining gives the interior a refined, finished look.

Travelers who split time between U.S. domestic flights and occasional international trips may want to compare this bag with Sympatico's Global 21" Carry-On Expandable Spinner, which is sized closer to many international carry-on limits.
