Briggs & Riley Zdx Luggage, One Size

Pros: I was able to pack for a 5 day vacation, with 2 extra pairs of sandals and a tablet. -Perfect fit for a personal item on a flight -great quality material and zippers -comfortable to carry several miles even fully packed -option to change to cross body straps Cons: front pocket is a good size, but it is not the easiest to get to on a flight. The cargo backpack pockets are a little more convenient, especially if you are getting thing out of them frequently. -no water bottle pockets All and all I really like this bag. I hate paying for luggage to the airlines, so this bag is perfect for a semi short trip.

The bag is well made and looks robust. However, the dimensions mentioned in the description are incorrect.

Got this to augment my B&R roll on. Capacity is good. Stylish. Well built. I like the expansion feature, but wish it had about 20% more volume. It could use a couple of easy access outside compartments and a water bottle holder. Quite versatile and can function as a day pack for hiking, a work/laptop carrier, or as a general purpose carry on. No complaints after many long international trips, but wish for another inch of expansion that would bring it into the 30 liter range.

Do you go to the office once or more per week? Do you travel for work and do an overnight trip? Do you do both? Then THIS is your go-to bag, trust me. I'm a backpack/bag snob - always have been - and I'm always looking for that perfect travel companion. So far, I've yet to find the equal to this bag. Briggs and Riley quality, of course, but it's the perfect combination of form meeting function. Padded integrated laptop compartment, separate notepad/paperwork compartment, plenty of room atop them for a travel mouse or wrist rest (if you're so inclined) and the internal zippered clamshell storage is plenty for an overnight or possibly even two, depending on how you pack. The zip-front opening allows for cavernous storage and ample pockets for things like travel chargers, snacks, a small umbrella, headphones, etc. The only thing it truly lacks is a water bottle compartment, but everything else becomes hands-free so it's not that big of a deal to keep your water in one hand as you walk, right? Trust me when I tell you this thing is bigger than it seems, yet smaller than you'd think, and fits comfortably beneath every airline seat I've thrown at it, especially those tight regional jets. If you can get it, do so - you won't regret it.

I wanted to love this bag. But sadly the zippers felt cheap and one of them would regularly get stuck. I do like the overall "look" of the bag and the various pocket placements. More robust zippers would earn this a 5-start review
