Does it fit in most overhead bins?

It is sized as a carry-on, so it fits standard overhead bins on most major airlines. Check the limits on smaller regional carriers.

How much does the garment folder hold?

The tri-fold folder with foam roll bar is built to hold one to two suits without wrinkling.

Is it better than a four-wheel spinner?

A spinner rolls upright and turns easily in tight aisles. This bag tilts on two wheels, which some travelers find less stable but gives a flat interior.

What is the Outsider handle?

The telescoping handle sits outside the bag instead of inside, so the packing floor is flat and the interior holds more.

About the Briggs & Riley Baseline Essential 2-Wheel Carry-On

The Baseline Essential 2-Wheel Carry-On is a ballistic nylon carry-on suitcase from Briggs & Riley's Baseline collection. It has an aircraft-grade aluminum telescoping handle with multiple stop heights and a V-groove design that resists impact. Shock-absorbing spinner wheels turn 360°, and corner guards made of impact-resistant material protect the case.

Inside, one-touch CX expansion adds packing space. Press the CX buttons and pull up the sides to expand, then zip closed and push down to compress. A built-in tri-fold garment folder with a foam roll bar holds 1 to 2 suits. Garment panels and cinch-down straps hold clothing in place and reduce creasing and shifting. The lining is a contrasting color, which makes contents easier to find. Two mesh zip pockets in the lid hold accessories.

Outside, the case has a large front pocket and a SpeedThru pocket for quick access at security checkpoints. Its orange lining shows when the pocket is open. A PowerPocket holds a battery pack and a cell phone for charging. The SmartLink add-a-bag strap lets you carry two bags as one. A hide-away leather ID tag keeps your information concealed. The Outsider handle gives a flat packing surface inside to minimize wrinkling. Carry handles are on the top, side and bottom. A TSA cable combination lock is included.
