Our take on the Brics B|Y Expandable 21" Carry-On Suitcase

The Brics B|Y Expandable 21" Carry-On is a hard-sided polypropylene spinner with a zip expansion system, a built-in TSA combination lock and a USB port. It has four double swiveling wheels, a three-stage aluminum telescopic handle and a front zip pocket for quick-access items. At 42 L it fits most major US carry-on limits, and the expansion adds roughly 1.6 to 2 inches of depth when you need it. It is a premium Italian-brand bag, so expect to pay well above basic polypropylene spinners.

Questions and answers

Is the Brics B|Y 21-inch carry-on worth it?
It is worth it if you want a hard-shell spinner with a TSA lock, expansion and a front pocket from a premium brand. If you mainly want low weight and low price, cheaper polypropylene carry-ons do the same basic job.
Does it fit major US airline carry-on limits?
At 21 by 14.9 by 9.4 inches it fits most US domestic carry-on limits, but expanded depth can push it past stricter international carriers. Check your airline's size limit before relying on the expansion.
How much extra space does the expansion add?
The zip expansion adds about 1.6 to 2 inches of depth, roughly 4 cm per the brand. That is enough for a few extra layers or souvenirs, not a second week of clothes.
Does the USB port include a battery?
No. The USB port is a pass-through, so you need to supply your own power bank and cable. It lets you charge a phone without opening the case.
What comes in the box?
The suitcase comes with a removable wash bag for laundry or shoes. A power bank and charging cable are not included.
When is it cheapest?
Hard-shell luggage tends to discount around Black Friday, back-to-school and spring travel sales. Track the price history here rather than buying at full list.
