About As Good As It Gets
I travel a lot. I'm always looking for the grail, the perfect suitcase. This is very, very close.
It looks great. The ballistic nylon with the brown leather trim is gorgeous. Even the zipper pulls, with a stylish twist in the design, are eye catching.
There is a side pocket for a charger, and a cable to connect it to an external USB. I love this in the airport. I can sit and charge a device without fumbling in my briefcase. The pocket is capacious, holding all buy the largest chargers.
"Capacious" is indeed the word for this suitcase. Or
"Roomy."
Two front pockets are each surprisingly deep. A pocket behind them--double-zippered, is even larger. Another zipper is also on the outside. Unzip it and the suitcase expands at the bottom.
The interior has tie-downs to secure your load with two small, built-in pockets on the sides, one for toiletries. A mesh pocket encompassing the entire inside of the top is versatile, whether you are securing a pair of shoes, socks, undies, it is plenty big.
Leather handles on top and side are sturdy and good-looking. And, on the bottom is a "cup" which serves as another handle if needed.
The limited lifetime warranty is a huge plus. Life in the air is hard on suitcases.
So, "Almost perfect?" Yes, the one thing lacking is the handle slides are on the inside. Briggs and Riley mounts theirs on the outside for a flat interior. One...well let's don't call it a flaw. B&R has some problems of their own. The removable suiter in the Travelpro is great. The spinner wheels are the finest I've ever spun through an airport.
Travelpro is a superior brand. I began flying with my brother in 1964 when he became an airline pilot and I was a wee lad. I don't remember all of his bags over the years, but he was proudest of his Travelpro. Highly Recommended.
