Pack your bags: Summer is coming!

Now that British Summertime has arrived we can look forward to longer, warmer days and start to think about some well-earned R&R whether here in the UK, over the Channel in Europe or to a far flung corner of the World.

Briggs & Riley are the people to make your trip smoother and more stylish with their six different collections of premium travel products, every-one of which comes with a lifetime guarantee that even covers airline damage.

Here are just a few examples for style-conscious jet setters from the recently launched BRX collection…

If you are the type of person that likes to have a choice of outfits to wear when away and don’t want to worry about over-packing then the Explore Medium Expandable Upright is the bag for you!

It is made of extremely durable nylon and polyester that resists wear, moisture, dirt and abrasion which makes for a lighter case so you can pack more in without worrying about exceeding airline weight restrictions.

The spacious main compartment can comfortably hold everything you might need for a five or six night trip whilst its large exterior pockets can hold a myriad of odd-shaped items not forgetting the nifty ‘SpeedThru’ pocket for items that might be needed quickly at security checkpoints.

Other classic Briggs & Riley features include an externally located (so more room inside) aircraft-grade aluminium handle system that guarantee less jamming and wide, low profile wheels for smooth, quiet rolling. The black bag retails for £319.

If you like to keep your bag close and keep your arms free then the Excursion Backpack is the bag for you. Rugged yet refined, the bag is engineered for any type of travel, making it the ideal airline carry-on. Its large u-shaped top opening provides easy access to the main compartment, while its padded laptop slip pocket keeps you connected on the go. Perfect for that long, romantic weekend in Rome! The black bag retails for £139.

The Medium Exchange Duffle is like having two bags in one, as it can convert from a smart carry-on to a backpack with padded straps, thanks to the clever zip-away back panel. The adjustable sternum straps keep the backpack from sliding off the shoulders, thus reducing the strain on arms, neck and shoulders. The unique hook system enables the bag to be securely connected to other BRX upright bags for easy transportation. The bag is black in colour and retails for £159.
