Comment Here And You May Win a Briggs & Riley TORQ Bag

by Gary Leff

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!

  2. I use the same bag, summer and winter, but use different bags for work and travel

  4. Do you think the Briggs and Riley Transcend spinners will go down in price (or go on sale at Costco), now that the new Torx series has come out?

    I use the same ratty, falling apart carryon for business and leisure travel, and for summer and winter- I need a new bag!

  5. 1) I don’t have different bags for different seasons.

    2) I do not have different bags for work/leisure because my Tumi bag is good for all occasion.

  6. I use different bags for summer and winter, but the same bag for travel and leisure.

  8. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.

    I do have different bags for work/leisure.

    Thanks!

  9. 1. Yes, I do have different bags for different seasons. Winter travel just requires larger bags to accomodate everything.
    2. When traveling internationally for several months, I do indeed need larger luggage. Domestically I can do with much smaller bags.

  11. My answers are still the same as they were back in comment 395. However I would like to add that should I be lucky enough to win the uber cool TORQ bag, my old school hardside will be going on a permanent vacation… to the dump.

    1. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No

    2. Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Yes, an old school hardside rollaboard with clunker wheels for going on holiday and a ballistic nylon roller with fast inline skate wheels for work.

  14. I have the same bag for every season, but depending on the type of trip, will swap out bags.

  15. 1. No.
    2. yes – weekender/ business / beach / backpacking trips each have their own variation of luggage for me.

  16. I would like this bag. It would be my primary bag because I use the same old thing for all travel.

    1. Same bag for business purposes and personal travel
    2. Same bag for all seasons

  19. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, but I do separate for different uses. A quick weekend trip has me use a small one, and a week long business or vacation trip has me bringing out the larger one.

  20. 1. No.
    2. Yes.

    Will you be comparing our answers to see if we changed them? 🙂

  22. 1) I do not have different bags for different seasons.

    2) I do not have different bags for work/leisure; I travel only for leisure

  29. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons. From a quick browse through the comments, the vast majority of people don’t either!

    2. I have been (un?)fortunate enough to not have to travel for work, so I have only a few different-sized bags I use, depending on the duration of the trip.

  31. I use my carry-on Samsonite for all-season travel. However, when it’s a short weekend trip, I usually just use a Porter duffle bag.

  33. 1) I have a bag that I use sometimes in summer.
    2) Different bag for work versus abroad/fun travel

  36. 1. I use the same bags for all seasons
    2. I use different bags for different lengths of trips

  37. I do not have different bags for different seasons but different ones for different trips. I do have different bags for different trips, not business VS pleasure as I don’t travel for business but mode of transportation and type of destination, snow, tropical, etc.

  38. 1. I use the same bags for all seasons.

    2. If it’s a work trip and I’ll have someone handling my bags for me, I use a rolling bag. If I know that I’ll be doing a lot of walking, then I go for a backpack style. … Although sometimes I check in a rolling bag so I can haul back a ton of treats for my family and friends. 🙂

  40. I don’t have different bags for different seasons and I don’t have different bags for work vs. leisure!

  44. 1. Same bags for all seasons, but might check a bag if I am going somewhere really cold
    2. Beat up bag for leisure, nice bag for business

  46. 1. If it’s winter, I need a larger bag to fit all my winter clothes!
    2. Just the same suitcase for both, though a nicer shoulder bag comes along for work.

  50. I do not have different bags for different seasons.

    I do you have different bags for different missions.

    My main bag is a Kirkland 22″ Carry-on that I try to use for most trips, but I also have a 30″ Briggs & Riley rolling duffel bag that I’ve had for many years, and used for both business trips and vacations. It’s been replaced twice already for no cost.

    Both bags have great warranties, so you can’t loose either way!
