Briggs is the bomb. Tumi is sooooo expensive that IF it broke after a year, then what. I have a brigs garment roller. Carried it on, checked it, the thing took a beating. I over stuffed this bag so much, I can't believe the only thing I did was tear a little interior fabric. This thing has taken a beating and looks awesome. The warranty is what sold me too. they fixed without question.

In review of the Briggs and Riley and TUMI standard business travel luggage. I sell both TUMI and Briggs, the two lines seem equal but when I look hard the TUMI things do stands out. TUMI ballistic is very dense yet it is smoother than the Briggs fabric, the stitching is like a cable stitch and it is much tighter, there are about twice as many stitches in the TUMI. TUMI, has stronger piping, the piping is on the exterior as well as the interior. The TUMI telescoping handle is much stronger than the Briggs, and TUMI's wheels are so advanced that I don't even know how to explain them. The TUMI warranty is normal, Briggs is extreme, what does that mean? I can't really answer that question because I have sold far more Briggs and Riley bags then TUMI. I can say I return far more Briggs for warranty repair then TUMI. TUMI is a better bag, no one disputes that if we only look at price. So which brand, I would say if you fly often its TUMI. A better tire will last longer before it blows out, and there is less chance of catastrophic failure. If Briggs and Riley has a blow out, they will fix or give you another bag; that is if you are still at home when it shows up or if you can wait on it. I don't know which bag, all I know is that a broken bag in an airport in a strange place late at night is a bad thing, a very bad thing.

I have been a Briggs & Riley customer for a few years now and I have never faced any problems with any of their products. What put my mind to ease when I started using BR luggage was their lifetime warranty. Even though I haven’t had to use it until now, I think it’s a mark of their faith in the quality of their products!
