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!

I have 1 bag for all seasons.
I do have different bags for different occasions. The shoulder bag doesn’t work well when hiking.
I use the same bag for every season and I use the same bag for business or pleasure.
1. No
2. I tend to use a 22″ roller for work and backpack for play.
No/It depends 🙂
I do not have different bags for different seasons, but I do for different missions.
Nope, nope
1. I don’ use different bags based on the season.
2. I usually use the same bags for all of my travel. Sadly, the Samsonite roll-aboard I’ve had for years (10+) is starting to break down. If I’m travelling for a wedding, I’ll sometimes use a suiter rather than the roll-aboard.
1. No
2. No
1. Nope
2. Nope
I don’t use different bags for different seasons. I sometimes add a larger suitcase in addition to my normal carry on when traveling for pleasure but not always.
No to both – use 1 bag
1 same bag for all seasons
2 sometimes will use smaller bag for short trips
I do not have different bags for different seasons nor do I have different bags for different missions . . .although I’d like to.
1. No

Definitely not a different bag based on season; definitely a different bag based on itinerary!

That’s why I need a TORQ bag!!!

I only have 1 bag so it has to serve me for all missions.
Do you have different bags for different seasons? No

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

1. SB DS
2. DB DM
Hoping to test this bag if I win 🙂
1. Nope
2. A-yup.
I use the same bags, whether Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter. I have an assortment of bags (all B&R, btw) that I will use depending on length of trip, whether I will be checking in, etc. Thnx !!!!!
1. No different bags for different seasons
2. Use different carry on bags depending on work or vacation – work means lugging up to 3 laptops; vacation means only my macbook air and my bringing my Canon 3Tsi and various lenses in lieu of the other laptops.
No. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
No. I use the same bags for work and leisure. However, since I own the business, almost every leisure trip means taking work stuff like my laptop along anyway so I bring pretty much everything on every trip.
1 – I have one bag for all seasons.
2 – I have one bag for business and leisure travel.
1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
2. I do have different bags for different missions — both business vs. leisure and, of course, for different types of trips within those categories mostly due to legnth.
thanks!!!!
Do you have different bags for different seasons?
No
Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? No
Same for all seasons, different for different reasons!
1. Nope, only one bag that can handle it all!
2. Also used one bag for business and leisure, it was always packed ready with some leisure essentials in case of last minute weekend rerouting! Only time I would have a different bag would be a quick one day jaunt, would try to ditch the roll aboard and bring just a shoulder bag.
No to both questions.
Nope, and yes. Personal luggage needs to withstand a little more wear and tear than work stuff.
I don’t have different bags for different seasons, or for different travel reasons, though I do occasionally bring a larger bag, or second bag, if I’m trveling for an extended period.
1. Nope, always the same.
2. Yes, mainly depending on the length of a trip.
Same bag regardless of the season, but I think it’s a good idea to change to a watertight bag during the rainy season- just never thought of it until I read these comments.
Different bag for vacations than business trips, because I carry a lot more stuff on vacation.
Different bags for different seasons, as I have to carry different sized clothes.
Same bag for business or pleasure- always just a carry-on
I have the same bag for summer and winter, work and pleasure.
1. No, I use the same bags for all seasons
2. No, I use the same bags for all types of trips
A big no to both. I just don’t see the need.
no to both questions. (unless you count different sized bags depending on how much i pack)
No and yes! Never tried 4 wheeler luggage though, would love to give it a spin!
I have 1 bag for all seasons, but I could use a larger version for longer trips!
I rarely travel for work, but if I did I’d use the same bag I use for leisure.
Thanks!
No to Q1 and yes to Q2.
1) I have one bag that covers all seasons for general travel.
2) I do have couple of different bags depending on the situation but tend to use my main bag almost exclusively.
No on both counts. Same 1 bag everywhere.
No for both Q’s. I use the same luggage for business & leisure; the only factor affecting which bag I take is the duration of the trip.
