It has all that Briggs & Riley’s trademark built-for-life quality (literally, there’s a lifetime guaranteed included) but weighs just 4.3kg. But this recently launched medium-sized case, made with super-strong Makrolon virgin polycarbonate, is a revelation. We’ve tested loads of Briggs & Riley bags in the past, and while they’ve always been exceptionally durable and luxuriously roomy, they’ve sometimes been let down by their hefty weight. ![]() So even though this case is big, it’s ultimately space-saving, too. Translation? We found transporting it to be both silent and super smooth.įinally – and this we especially love – the Stamford collection of suitcases has been cleverly designed as a set, so if you buy the medium and cabin sizes too, they can both nest inside the large. Meanwhile, the 360-degree rotating Hinomoto wheels were developed with Mitsubishi. ![]() An expander zip on the case adds 5cm and 18l of space various pockets keep things organised and an in-built TSA-approved lock keeps your kit safe. The cool looks are down to the collaboration between Antler’s classic British design and Japanese tech. That’s amazing value for a case that could serve two people on a week-long holiday. Its khaki hue is cool enough for the runway, it holds up to 139l and it costs just £229. Take this large, hardside 81.5cm-tall case as the perfect example. There’s plenty to love: the cases look beautiful, are smartly designed and don’t cost a fortune, either.

This case holds a remarkable 121l, and yet it only weight 3.7kg when empty. But, remember, in turn that gives you a more flexible packing space, with huge potential for volume. If you want to find a negative (and it’s tricky to), some travellers might be put off by the fact that it’s a soft-shell case – theoretically your valuables inside are slightly less protected from any rough handling. Even the fabric is durable and relatively unscuffable, masking nicks and spills. For all the uneven surfaces we’ve zipped it across we’ve never had a dodgy wheel for all the overpacking we’ve never had a strained or broken zipper. We’ve hauled it to cities and rainforests, to deserts and beach resorts, and no matter what we’ve thrown at it, it always weathers the storm. We’ve tested and retested the tranverz L – the brand’s classic long-haul-sized case – many times over the past decade, and every time we’re impressed. When it comes to mileage-per-buck, you can’t do better than Eastpak. ![]()
