Special Features of Briggs & Riley Travelware
All Briggs & Riley bags have individual unique features that collectively distinguish them from all other companies. Key features include:
· Outsiderä Handle – This extremely durable handle designed on the outside is made out of aircraft aluminum and slides into an ABS plastic tube. This provides double protection so the handle will not break and can support over 200 lbs. of content in the up position.
· NX Expansion System – This easy push-button mechanism makes it easy to expand your Briggs & Riley travelware for an extra two-and-a half-inch of space. That means increasing your packing capacity by up to 30%.
