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!

Yes, one Travelpro carryon for general travel and another large zip rolling duffle for guy getaway trips like camping, fishing and hiking trips.

1. No. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
2. No. I use the same bag.
Not for different seasons but two of the same style luggage. One is for backup in case one is down. Over the last decade I have had to have each one “in the shop” for repair or maintenence and am so grateful for having that backup!
No different bags for different seasons. No different bags for different missions either. However, I have a few suitcases of different sizes and I’ll pick one depending on how long I’m planning to be out. If a work trip includes some leisure time, most likely I’ll take a big checked bag.
I honestly only have my one backpack that I use for everything because I hate having to pay for luggage on low-cost carriers.
My family has suitcases that I sometimes borrow, but I try to avoid it.
I think I mightttt need to start using a suitcase though. My back isn’t too pleased with me all the time haha

As such, my carry-on is pretty embarrassingly beat up and I could use the new bag!
1) I don’t have bags for different seasons either.
2) I do have bags for different missions – a small beat-up carry-on for short trips and a big check-in for long-hauls. I don’t use them in combination as its too much to lug around.
I don’t have a different bag for different seasons. I do use suitcase for business and backpack for vacation
Hoping for some Fresno love
1. No, use the same bags all year long
2. yes, but it is only due to size. Smaller bags for business trips, and larger ones for leisure.
Do you have different bags for different seasons?
No, but wouldn’t mind a new bag 😉
Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

1.I do not have different bags for different seasons, I try to keep it all simple.
2.I always take my trust carry on, it’s been in at least three countries and at least 15 states. Then the rest depends on how long I’m gone. I have one retired on rolling duffle bag to the garbage, it was WORN out. I replaced it with a medium suitcase. Only for trips longer than 10 days.
1. A bag for all seasons.
2. A bag for all occasions.
Anything less would be uncivilized!

Do you have different bags for different seasons? — no, who does?

No to both questions. I use the same bags year round for both work and vacation. I love my Briggs and Riley backpack. A roll aboard would be a great addition.

2. No. My bags are always the same.
1)No. I use the same type of bag every season.
2)No. I do not differentiate my bags for work or leisure but instead based it upon the amount of stuff I have to bring and the amount of stuff I forsee I would bring back.
Nope, a good bag should last all seasons.
Yes, my day to backpack differs from the one used while traveling.
1) No different bags for season.

No again.
I use the same old and I mean really old luggage for any journey.

Season doesn’t matter, just length and purpose of trip.
