This is more of a review, but I decided to buy some carry on luggage pieces and narrowed my choice to 3 brands based on reading here. I picked Kirkland, Brigs & Riley, and Eagle Creek because of their warranty. Eagle Creek was too ugly (for my taste) so I eliminated them. Briggs & Riley looks is the most expensive, so I ordered the international baseline which looks great.
Kirkland has two carry on models available @ $99 each but the online version has a $9 shipping fee.
Online version, 2 wheel model. Pros: Looks slightly better built, comes with a suit holder, tsa lock, better handle, better exterior pocket, more storage, and replaceable big wheels. Cons: Heavier at 11lbs, bigger at 23.5" tall, so might not fit on all planes.
In store, 4 wheel spinner. Pros: Lighter at 8lbs, has a pocket for credit cards so they're not scanned, auto-retracting tag, smaller size at about 21" and should fit on most airlines. Cons: much less packing room, and wheels are much smaller and seem susceptibility to damage.
Briggs & Riley International Baseline @ $499. Pros: Best size and compatible with almost all planes, best attention to detail, compression system, comes in an olive color (other than black, better for not being stolen). Cons: Expensive and rarely on sale. I bought it with $50 off.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or anything to add? I'm leaning towards keeping the Kirkland 4 wheel spinner for size, and the Riley Briggs.
