I’m a Briggs & Riley fan, my usual carry on is their Baseline CX bag. They’ve made a splash over the past month with a new bag, and I’ve arranged a giveaway.
As I explained earlier today, I’ll have a different Briggs & Riley bag to give away next week as well (different bags for different reasons, they’ve “got your business and leisure covered” as it were).
The Briggs & Riley TORQ is a departure from just functional offering a stylish hard shell that I think looks great (although it’s extra-reinforced to prevent damage, so functional too).
It has an extra wide wheel base to prevent tipping when overstuffed, and it’s a four wheel spinner for easy transport through the airport.
And it comes with Briggs & Riley’s unrivaled lifetime guarantee.
This time we’re going to try something different. Instead of answering one question, I’m going to ask you to answer two to be eligible to win.
- Do you have different bags for different seasons?
- Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
Here are the rules:
- You need to have answered both of those questions in your comment to this blog in order to be entered.
- You may enter up to once per day — and I give you a bit of slack in this, I won’t disqualify any entry as long as you don’t make more than one entry per calendar day or as long as no entry is closer than 24 hours together from another one. And if you’re close, we’re cool. I’m not looking to disqualify people, just to make sure there’s no massive ballot stuffing.
- All entries (comments) must be received no later than Thursday, June 6 at Noon Eastern time.
- I will draw a winner at random in the days following the close of the contest from those that meet these guidelines. Make sure you provide a valid e-mail address when entering to be eligible to win (you do not need to leave an email address in the comments, but along with your name where it asks for your email that email must be ‘real’ or I will have no way of contacting you).
- The winner acknowledges that this is a prize and is not for resale.
- I’m the final arbiter in all matters related to this contest and in all matters of interpretation. There is no appeal. I’m doing this because there’s an opportunity to send out a pretty cool high-end bag, and not taking anything in return, so please don’t give me a hard time in the process.
Any questions? E-mail me. And hopefully the winner will also follow up with me to let me know their impressions of the bag. It looks great!

1)no.
2) yes. Depends how long is the trip.
I do not have different bags for each season and do not have different bags for different missions. Clearly I need more bags!
Yes, I have different bags for different seasons and uses.
Usually, when travelling to South America, It’s going to be warmer, camping, hiking, less business, more fun. The DUFFEL is the bag of choice for me there, I tend towards some nice Patagonia bags.
I have diff bags for leisure travel in the USA and business. If I’m away for business more than a WEEK, I’m moving to a large garment or even a B&R travelling WARDROBE. This is a checked bag only, starts at about 10lb unloaded! But it works great..
1. Not really, I have always been using the same bag.
2. I do have a vacation bag and a work bag 😉
1. I use the same bag for different season.
2. I do use different bag size depending on the length of the trip. Especially in the winter for snowboarding. :).
Thanks
I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
I DO have different bags for reason of the trip … short trips take a carry-on pack that I can turn into a large backpack (I don’t do formal work and this makes maneuverability better). Long trips, I usually use a check-in bag that I get abroad for cheap.
1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
2. I do use different bags for business and vacation, notably carry-ons. The rest varies by length if trip.
I don’t have a bag for different seasons, except in the sense that I will use different bags depending on the weather or environment of my intended destination.
I do have different bags for different missions. Bigger checked suitcases I use more for personal travel, small duffel bags are for short business/personal trips, and I’m usually only seen carrying a suit bag when I have suits for a business trip 😉
1. I do not have different bags for different seasons, primarily because I travel across the globes where seasons may vary quite dramatically.
2. I usually use one same bag while traveling, whether it is for business or pleasure. I rarely, if ever, check my bags, so I try to pack quite efficiently and as light as possible.
I do not have different bags for different seasons but do tend to use different bags for work and vacation. My work bag tends to be a small rolling garment bag that can hold a couple of suits but on vacation, formal attire is less common so tend to carry wheelies.
No, I do not have a bag for different seasons thought that would be fun.
I do use different bags for different types of trips – overnights I might use an LL Bean tote bag. Otherwise a rolling carry-on suitcase. For big trips, I use a 26 inch suitcase and try my hardest to get everything in.
1. Don’t have different bags for different seasons.
2. Carry different luggage for a business trip instead of a personal trip. Use a suit bag/roller combo when I’m on business and usually a just a carry-on roller when traveling on personal unless I want to bring stuff back.
1. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
No. Just the lightest bag available with wheels.
2. Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
No. Just the lightest bag available with wheels.
1. I don’t have a bag for different seasons, except for my snowboard bag for equipment.
2. I have separate bags for shorter trips vs longer trips, but would like a 4 wheeled spinner bag. My carryon extra shoulder bags is the same all the time.
No
2. Not really
1. I typically do not use different bags for different seasons other than adding my ski boots bag in the winter.
2. I do have different carry on bags depending on whether it is business or a personal trip. More professional (Briggs or Tumi) for business trips. As light as possible for vacations.
I don’t have different bags for different seasons but I use different bags for different missions. Tumi case for work and a bigger one for play.
1. No.
2. No.
1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
2. At the moment, I only travel for leisure so I do not have different bags for type of travel.
1) I don’t swap my bags out based on the season, only the purpose.
2) I tend to pack lighter for business using a smaller bag vs. a bigger one for vacation.
1 – Same bags year round.
2 – Depends on length of trip. Tumi carry-on for under 2 weeks, Tumi duffle for 2 weeks or more. Always have Tumi rolling brief for the mobile office. Always business travel though, 30+ weeks/year…
1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
2. I do not have different bags for work and leisure.
That’s why I need a TORQ bag!!!
1. No
2. Yes, when traveling light is required I use backpack which converts to bag with soft handles, as my carryon
1. No
2. No
Thanks
I don’t have a different bag for different seasons, but would love to!
I only have different sized bags- One simple carry on sized suitcase for all flights and a duffle bag for short road trips.
1. no
2. no
I make my bag selection for each trip individually, as the amount of stuff I need to take varies significantly for both work and leisure trips.
1) Same bag for all seasons.
2) Same bag for business or pleasure travel.
no to both questions. (unless you count different sized bags depending on how much i pack.)
1. No
2. Usually work trips are casual dress and only one overnight for me, so I just use my laptop bag…not a different bag but minus one bag
1. No
2. No, but winning this might change my answer! 😉
1. Same bag for all seasons.
2. Same checked bag for all missions. My carry-on for business is just the laptop bag, and my carry-on for leisure is the laptop bag plus a roller to carry headphones and other necessities.
1. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
No, the same small bag year round
2. Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
