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

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. I do not have different bags for different seasons.

    I do not have different bags for work/leisure, however my travel for work is limited.

    I hope I win!

  2. 1. I don’t have different bag for different seasons, but with this bag I would!
    2. I also don’t have different bags for different trips due the price of quality luggage being so high!

  3. I do not have different bags for different seasons

    I do not travel for work so I do not have separate bags for that but I do have separate bags that I use for international travel as I am usually going to see family and they always have lots of requests for stuff

  4. 1. I do tend to use a larger bag in the winter bc it’s hard to fit sweaters and bulkier shoes in a smaller bag.

    2. I don’t get to travel for work, so I just have the same bags for vacation travel.

  5. I have only one carry-on bag: it’s an el-cheapo all seasons bag 🙂

    I use the same bag for both leisure and business travel.

    This looks great, especially if it is stable on its four wheels.

  6. 1. Same bags for all seasons.
    2. Different bags depending mainly on length of trip and how much I carry.

  7. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No, I usually use all of my bags interchangeably throughout the year.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? I do. I usually use a Hartmann roller for longer business and leisure trips, and an Orvis weekender for shorter trips.

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

    I also don’t have different bags for work/leisure.

    My bag choice is dependent primarily on length of trip.

  9. 1. Same bags for all seasons.

    2. I use the same bag for all events.

    thanks!

  10. I don’t have separate bags for different seasons and I also don’t have different bags for work/leisure travel.

  11. 1. No – but thats a great idea.
    2. Yes – but then now if I change 1. to be a Yes – then I will need twice the number of bags. Hmmm…. perhaps if I win!

  12. It never occured to me to have bags for different seasons, so no.

    I do have bags for different “missions”. If I’m going on safari or a sailing charter, I have duffles that conform to fit into odd shaped spaces. For “normal” travel I have common wheelies and toppers.

  13. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I do not have different bags for work and leisure – good luggage is so expensive!

  14. I do not have different bags for different seasons – except if you count my purse 😉 – but I do have different bags depending on the purpose and length of my trip. We sometimes go for 6 weeks and sometimes for 6 days, so the bags will vary based on what I need to take along. Ditto for the number of bags I will take!

  15. I don’t have a different bag for different seasons nor for different missions. I have an old carry-on as well as an old bigger case which I like but need to be replaced at some point. Would like a nice new one (or two).

  16. I have the same big in rain, snow, sleet, or hail. My bags vary by size, so I usually take a backpack for a short trip and a check-in bag for a long one.

  17. 1. No

    2. Sorta. When my trip includes Paris, I do have a duffel bag that I cram into my rollaboard, so that I can relocate my clothes for the trip home, as my rollaboard is usually full of shopping treasures.

  18. 1. I dont have a bag for different seasons
    2. I do have a bag for different missions ei, if it is just a weekend trip versus a week long trip

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  19. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons. I am a simple man.

    2. I have pannier bags for my bicycle commute to work each day. And for large trips I have a larger backpack that has an adjoining day pack. I use all other bags interchangeably. I can use it to bring to work or on vacation or for anything else.

  20. I don’t have a different bag for the seasons, however, I may choose a different bag based upon the season/destination. Example: in Germany during winter, they like to put down little pebbles on the sidewalks for traction instead of salt. Since these pebbles can play havoc with wheels, I might take an older bag or one that has larger wheels.

    For biz travel, 98% of the time I exclusively use a 20 inch carry-on (Baseline CX widebody like you). But when traveling with family I also check a 27 inch and maybe another carry-on depending on the length of the trip.

  21. I have gone to the B&R web site. This kind of guarantee reminds me of the good old days. I now want one. I’m in!

  22. I don’t have a bag for different seasons nor do I use a different bag for different missions. I have a luggage to rule them all!

  23. Question #1: Yes, typically I travel with a hard shell in the winter because snow and bad weather tend to damage cloth luggage. On the reverse, I usually want better space saving in the summer to accommodate more items.
    Question #2: Yes, duffle bags and backpacks are my typical go-to for vacation, and structured uprights for business.

  24. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons. Actually looking to get my first nice bag.

    2. For work I like to travel with my computer bag and another small duffel bag. For vacation, I let my wife do all the packing and we leave the electronics home.

  25. I don’t use different bags for different seasons.

    I don’t use different bags for different missions (work vs. leisure).

    I have only 2 bags, 1 large check-in and 1 standard carry-on. I use 1 based on how much luggage (highly correlated to length of trip) and not correlated to season or mission, although one could weakly argue that I carry more weight in colder seasons or for work trips.

  26. Sadly no and no. I have one huge suitcase that has to be checked, which has worked for the most part since most of my trips have included myself the wife and 3 kids. But it’s not to handy for solo trips so I find myself borrowing carry one cases for business trips.

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

    I do, however, use different bags for different reasons, going with a much more informal backpack for leisure travel.

  28. Gary, thanks for doing this.

    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 (length, etc.).

  29. 1. No.
    2. I use different type of bag when I go on vacation. E.g, I normally will use laptop rollaway bag for business. But on vacation, I’ll be using larger daffle bag to haul my snorkel gear.

  30. I don’t have a bag for different seasons, but I carry a more stylish Jack Spade bag for leisure trips and a more conservative Samsonite for business.

  31. 1. No
    2. No

    All bags in black, ready to rock at any time for any reason.

    Love that Briggs And Riley!

  32. 1.) No, same bags no matter the season.

    2.) I usually use a smaller roller bag for work trips (usually shorter), and a larger one for vacation.

  33. One bag for all the seasons.

    One bag for all purposes.

    Maybe I need some more bags.

  34. 1) Nope. Don’t have different bags for different seasons. I felt a need to get a hard case one after my bags got wet on a thunderstorm day.

    2) Bags I take for a trip depends on multiple factors like duration, baggage allowance and purpose. Additionally, laptop bag would be a difference between vacation and work.

  35. 1. No – the same bag regardless of the season!
    2. Unless I am going on a really fun adventure when the North Face bags come out (climbing trips), I use the same bags for vacation and work.

  36. B& R fan here too – but have had to switch to a hard-side smaller carryon for European travel and would love to use this Torq!
    1) no – same bags all year
    2) type of trip doesn’t change which bag I take, just destination – Europe requires a smaller carry-on

  37. 1. I do not have have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I do have bags for different reasons, small bags for short trips, suit carriers for work trips, Rolling duffels for extended leisure trips and finally golf bags for golf trips.

  38. 1. Same bags for all seasons cause I like things that last long.

    2. My business is my leisure. So, still the same bags. Thanks.

  39. #1 No, same bag + a laptop bag
    #2 I use a smaller bag usually for work & vacation, but once in a blue moon a larger one for a vacation (laptop stays at home on all vacations)

  40. 1) I don’t have a different bag for different seasons.

    2) I don’t have a different bag for different missions. I have one smallish black bag that has been beaten up over the years by United/Alaska/Southwest. I’ll change it when they wreck it….unless I win your contest.

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

    I bought a Walkabout Light for my wife when she travels, and I simply use the cheap-o Costco unit that my Mom bought me for college graduation.

    This one would be a nice upgrade!

  42. 1) I have a brighter colored work bag that I use sometimes in the summer.
    2) Hardly ever use my work bags, when I go on personal trips abroad. Tumi does better in the USA than Africa 😉

  43. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    – Not really, I do try to take smaller/lighter bags for worse weather, but otherwise it’s all the same.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    – Just the lighter the better 🙂

  44. I have one bag for year round travel, regardless of business or pleasure. B&R Baseline 20″ widebody expandable carry on!

  45. No and No. Same bags for trips regardless of season and mission. What ultimately determine what bag I use is based on how much stuff required and length of time of trip.

  46. I do use different bags depending on the season.

    I don’t use different luggage for different missions.

  47. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    – Nope, purely depends on what I’m carrying.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    – No, same answer

  48. 1. No – but I do have hard and soft cases, and will opt for a hard case if conditions really demand it.

    2. Of course – for work I carry a suit bag because I’m always wearing a suit; for vacation I avoid suits at all cost, so… no suit bag.

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

    I do not have different bags for work/leisure. What bag I use depends on how long I am gone for.

  50. 1. I do have different bags for different seasons, because when it’s snowing/raining a lot I like bags with wheels so they don’t get as dirty when I have to put them down.

    2. I do have have different bags for different missions – such as duffle bags for short trips, rolling garment bags for work trips, and spinner uprights for vacation/family trips.

  51. Same bags for all seasons.

    I do have different bags for different occasions, I have a short vacation one, a large camping backpack for longer travels, and a nicer suitcase for business travel

  52. NO on the 1st question and NO on the 2nd. I use the same bag whenever I travel.

  53. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons – just different bags depending on the length of my trip and how much I need to bring along.
    2. I do have different carryon bags for vacation vs. work travel. On vacation, I generally bring a backpack, as it is more ergonomic, but on work trips, I bring a shoulder laptop bag as it is more professional.

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

    I do not have different bags for work/leisure, but I would like a rigid bag

  55. I do not have different bag for different season.

    I travel purely for leisure. So, I just have one set of bags. But, if I did fly frequently for work, I would have separate bags.

  56. I use the same bag year round (granted I travel in CA mostly so little variation)

    I use the same 22″ carryon but will rotate between a backpack (north face) and tumi briefcase depending on if its work or personal travel.

  57. Been looking…thanks for the opportunity.

    Do you have different bags for different seasons? Nope!

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Nope!

  58. Yes, I have different bags for the seasons. My winter travel bag holds ski boots. I also only use my suit bag for work trips, so in a way have slightly different work and vacation bags

  59. I use the same carryons regardless of season, but may add a checked bag when travelling to cold climates.

    I use the same personal item carryon for work and travel.

  60. 1. No
    2. No

    In the past I’ve always used the same bags for vacation and work, and when one falls apart, I just throw it out and buy a new one. They’ve all been pretty cheap, and only last 1-2 years. My wife was getting sick of this process, so I just bought a Samsonite spinner carry-on, which I took on my most recent business trip, and it was a delight. I will never go back to the cheap bags we used to use. Now all I need is a regular 29-30″ bag for our upcoming trip to Thailand.

    On a side note, it’s my birthday today, so I really hope I win! Love the blog.

  61. 1. no

    2. I have a military issue soft bag for all uses, so far over they years never a problem.

  62. I have my “weekend” bag for short trips and a separate, larger bag for longer trips. Since I’m a SAHM, I don’t have a work travel bag-they’re all leisure! They work in all seasons, though!

  63. 1. No, all my bags are the same type (matching set) and 2. No, only thing the dictates which bag I use is the size that is needed

  64. 1. Do you have different bags for different seasons?

    No, bags are determined by time of travel.

    2. Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

    No, same bags.

  65. I use the same bags for different seasons

    I use the same bags for different missions

    BUT – I do use different bags if they are being checked as opposed to those I only use for carryon.

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

    I don’t often travel for work, so I don’t have a different bag for business travel per se.

    I do have different carry-ons depending on if I am checking luggage or not. If I am only using a carry-on I will use a rolling suitcase, otherwise I have a rolling backpack.

  67. I have the same bag for all seasons. My main carryon is always my super light Samsonite rolly bag. The only difference is if I want to do work with my laptop during flight instead of just my destination, then I will carry it in a separate handbag.

  68. 1. Same carry-on for all seasons.
    2. Different carry-on depending mainly on length of trip

  69. I don’t change up my bags with the seasons.

    I do not travel for work. I usually take a standard black rolling bag for most weekend travel. However, on trips where I must check a bag (usually hiking or SCUBA related), I take a small hiking daypack instead.

  70. I do not have a different bag for different seasons.

    I also do not have a different bag for work and pleasure.

  71. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons. My apartment is too small to store all that!
    2. I don’t, sadly, which means that my bright purple roller suitcase gets pretty beat up from monthly work trips. The wheels are splitting apart and most of the zipper pulls are gone.

  72. 1. My bags are the same.
    2. Generally yes,different bags – work trips are short and vacations longer

  73. I have used only one bag, regardless of the season for years now — a Rick Steves convertible backpack (as I tend to travel light).

    I have used the same bag for both work and leisure travel (although the version I have is not laptop-friendly, hence my interest) in this giveaway.

    My RS bag is pretty beat up; it’s time for a new one and this really looks cool!

  74. 1. No

    2. I tend to use a 22″ roller for work and backpack for play.

  75. no different bags for seasons.

    I normally travel with a carry on for work, and a HUGE checked bag for family (life with kids!)

  76. 1. No.
    2. Not really. All the same carry-on, that kind needs to be replaced sometime soon.

  77. 1.No I don’t have different bags for different seasons. Not enough storage room for all those bags.
    2. Yes I do have different bags for different missions. Vacation and travel with family always involve large samsonites, but travel alone or short weekend trips always involves the lightest carry ons & a suit bag

  78. 1. I tend to pack lighter for summer, but no seasonal bags
    2. no checked bags if i can help it.

  79. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, except that I have a larger bag and a smaller carryon bag and if I can’t fit my winter boots and down jacket in the small one or wear them on the plane I’ll bring the larger bag!
    2. My “work trips” only involve going to conferences, so I don’t need a business style bag for those, so I just have one. I will bring a nicer shoulder bag on “work trips” though.

  80. 1, Not really, though I’m a big guy and the sheer bulk of winter clothes sometimes necessitates a larger bag.

    2, Only difference is when traveling with my kids and wife…all bets are off for carry-on only!

  81. 1. same bag all year
    2. i use the same carry-on for both business and leisure (it’s a 22″ Tumi *shoulder bag*) but a different bag for the “personal item”

  82. 1. No

    2. Sometimes I use a different backpack for leisure travel, but the work backpack/briefcase usually works.

  83. 1. Nope, just the same for either season
    2. I use my caselogic roller for work – more gadget friendly and use my other Samsonite for vacation travel etc.

  84. 1. I don’t have different bags for diff seasons.
    2. I have a small roller for work, and I usually use a larger one for play (especially on long vacations)!

    I have a couple Briggs and Riley bags and love them. Great giveaway!

  85. 1. I don’t have different bags for diff seasons.
    2. I have a small roller for work, and I usually use a larger one for play (especially on long vacations)!

    I have a couple Briggs and Riley bags and love them. Great giveaway!

  86. 1. No
    2. No (one older Briggs and Riley that I’m hopefully going to upgrade soon… hint hint 🙂

  87. I do have different bags for different seasons. Mainly because my winter trips tend to be to Europe for the Christmas markets therefore I need a larger bag. My summer trips require fewer clothes so a smaller bag.
    For work trips I always bring a carry on bag. For vacation I tend to bring either a larger bag or a 20″ bag plus a tote of some kind so I check the 20″.

  88. 1. Same bag for all seasons.
    2. But I do have different bags for different missions — the most important bag-selection variable for me is how much photo gear will be required for the mission.

  89. 1. I dont have different bags for every season, been using the same Bag for the last 10 years.

    2. I dont have Work related travel but i do use a different luggage for international trips. Hope i win….

  90. I don’t have seasonal bags.

    I sometimes use different bags for work & leisure travel, but it depends more on if I’ll have time to hike or bike (even on work trips) so I may need additional gear, which means a bigger bag. I’m too cheap to buy a nice bag because I get quite a few bags from work of decent quality, but it’d be nice to get something good for business travel.

  91. No, I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    Yes, I have different bags for different missions–mostly depending on the length of stay.

  92. I do not have different bags for different seasons

    Yes, I do have different bags for different missions.

    Thanks!

  93. 1) No.

    2) Not really although I have a smaller roller for shorter trips and a larger roller for longer trips. And some 1-2 night trips I just do with just a messenger bag.

  94. 1. I use the same bag for all seasons. I currently have a B&R bag that works for all seasons so there is really no need to change. I think its the best value on the market and I’m pretty big proponent of the bag to my fellow road warriors.

    2. Again, my B&R bag works for all occasions. If I’m taking a vacation I will just extend my current bag and it works great.

  95. 1) nope, seasons don’t matter
    2) mission, not really, more like length of time. Sometimes weekend getaways I dont need anything more than a duffel. Other wise i bring my carry-on for anything more than 3 nights.

  96. Q1: I do not use different bags based on season.
    Q2: I do have a different bag when traveling for work to Saudi cause it tends to get beat up more down there thru their airport.

  97. 1. No bags for different seasons
    BUT
    2. Definitely have different bags for vacation and travel depending on length of stay.

  98. No, season doesn’t seem to matter. Although winter does mean more and bulkier clothes.

    Yes, smaller roller for shorter trips. Larger roller duffle for longer trips. Huge suitcase for monthlong trips.

  99. Thanks.
    Do you have different bags for different seasons? – NO
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? – YES

  100. 1. Flannel-lined bag for cold weather; unlined for warm.

    2. Lots of special shapes/sizes collected over 40 years of travel to match purpose/length of trip.

  101. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No. Lufthansa just broke one of my bags last month so I only have 1 left.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    No, I don’t take bags for work travel, usually just a backpack.

  102. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No, I’ve never had a reason for this. Same bag(s) regardless of season.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Again no. Same bag(s) for all missions.

  103. I usually use the same bag throughout the year. For vacations, it depends on the length of time for the trip. Shirt trip same suitcase. Long trip I use a larger one than my normal business trips.

  104. 1) No, I don’t have different bags for different seasons.

    2) Yes, I have 3 different bags I’ll pack depending on mission. I’ve got a 20″ rollaboard that I use for most purposes, a school-sized backpack I use for quick weekend trips, and an internal-frame backpack I use for vacations where a rolling suitcase doesn’t make sense (camping trips, some off-the-beaten path places where a taxi won’t take me to a hotel front entrance, etc.). Technically I also have a 24″ rolling Samsonite that I’ve only used once.

  105. No, I don’t have different bags for different seasons.

    Yes, I do use different bags for work and leisure, which also depends on the length of travel.

  106. 1. I use the same bag regardless of season. My Rick Steves brand backpack. Durable and light weight.
    2. Since The only mission I have when I travel is vacation I use the same bag every time.

    So why do I need another bag? Because I travel with two kids and need more luggage.

  107. Q1: I do not use different bags based on the season.

    Q2: I typically 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.

  108. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    – No, I use the same bag for the different seasons.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    – Yes. The bag changes based on my trip. Roller carry-on (BR Baseline) for business and backpack (different sizes) for personal.

  109. I use the same bags year round and I generally use the same bags for all missions. (I will vary e-bags and other smaller bags inside, though.)

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

    I do not have different bags for work/leisure.

  111. 1. I use the same bags year round.
    2. I may at times switch from a backpack to a rolling laptop bag as well as from a checked to a carry on bag.

  112. Do you have different bags for different seasons? Nope.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Not exactly. I have 3 different sized bags and I tend to use the smallest for business and a bigger one for vacation.

  113. Do you have different bags for different seasons? – Same bags regardless of season.
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? – Overall, no. But due to the nature of the trips, vacations tend to call for larger suitcases, with additional carry-ons too, whereas work trips are commonly short and involve a carry-on only.

  114. 1. Definitely not
    2. Yes – I use my heavier, more professional looking one for business, but my fun, lightweight one for leisure.

  115. I don’t have a different bag for different seasons. Same bag set all the time.

    I do have different bags for different missions – Currently, I take my Tumi roll-aboard for my day-to-day work trips. A generic duffel bag stays at the hotel with some stuff. (I try to not take clean clothes home.) And I have a Ricardo set for when the Tumi is getting repaired. (Delta really tears up my luggage.)

  116. 1) Nope, no matter the temp outside it’s always winter on the plane.
    2) Work and play it’s all the same, except the garment bag within the suitcase varies in bulkiness, and the airlines keep breaking off bits of my luggage so they look worse and worse over time. If only I could win some new bags…

  117. 1) No, I don’t have different bags for different seasons
    2) I use the same bag for work/leisure

  118. 1) No I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2) Yes I have different bags for travel and work. If I’ll be hiking/trekking during the vacation, I opt to bring my backpacking bag (yep the huge ones a lot of backpackers use) but if I’ll be vacationing to a beach, then just a regular suitcase.

  119. I only use one bag for all seasons. I only use one bag for my travel. The worst part is that it is pink since this is the color my wonderful wife chose for our luggage set. Oh how I hope I win!!

  120. I do not have different bags for different seasons. I do have different bags for different missions — a backpack to go backpacking or touring around the world, and the normal carry-on/checked bag combo for traveling to visit family.

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

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Yes. Bigger bag for my work papers. A backpack for when I’m on vacation

  122. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No, I don’t pack different bags depending on the season.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Yes, I have 1 carry on and 1 check in, I generally limit work travel to the carry on and often find myself taking the check in for vacation (significant other always overpacks!)

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

    I do have different bags for different missions, I have a Britto (the one with Island Palm design)suitcase for luxury vacations to Beach destinations like annual Hawaii 1-2 week long trip, annual South Beach weekend trips, and every so often trips to beach destinations like Virgin Islands, Cancun, etc. This Britto bag is a really upbeat happy design. I use a backpack for trips where I will be doing an adventure trip like backpacking or camping. And I have the tried and true boring nondescript bag with the unique markings on it to identify it from all other similar boring nondescript bag at the baggage carrousel for all other travel.

  124. I do NOT have different bags for different seasons

    I do have different bags for fun vs work. Although I almost always take the Laptop bag wherever I go.

  125. 1. I don’t have bags for different seasons.
    2. I have different bags for different missions. I have luggage I bring if I’m going on vacation for a while. I have a carry-on bag that I primarily use for week-long trips. And I have a large travel back pack. I use that if I’m in a country where I need many items but can’t easily transport luggage.

  126. 1. No, do not have different bags for different seasons
    2. No, do not have different bags for work vs. vacation

  127. No differentiation according to seasons. Just a smaller bag for short trips and a big bag for long trips. Thanks!

  128. 01. I use the same bag all year. :/

    02. More backpack for personal, more briefcase more business.

    Thanks for hosting this!

  129. No, I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    No, I do not have different bags for vacation and work.

  130. No reason for me to have seasonal luggage. I have a slightly gaudy bag for stays up to a week. I see it as theft deterrent. My bigger bag is more of a duffel for hauling stuff back home for Christmas, etc.

  131. Do you have different bags for different seasons? Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

    No to both – I have different bags for different trip durations.

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

    I do not have different bags for work/leisure, however my travel for work is limited.

  133. 1) Yes – winter bag is expandable for those heavier winter clothes.

    2) Leisure is same bag as business with the suits substituted with shorts and tshirts.

  134. I use different bags but mot dependent on season. Work I use a jansport or Timbuktu messenger bag and work use a tumi wheeled carry on.
    Works for me. thanks!

  135. 1. No, I do not have different bags for different seasons.

    2. No, I use the same bags for work or vacation travel, with only variations due to length of the trips.

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

    However, the bag for vacation is significantly larger than the one for work.

  137. 1. I use the same bag all year.

    2. I sometimes use a backpack for short, personal trips, but I use the same suitcase for all other trips.

  138. Different seasons? No. But definitely for different kinds of trips. Actually I have 4 different bags for short/medium/long trips. And again no to the separation – really depends on the length of the trip more than the purpose.

  139. 1. no
    2. Sometimes take a bigger carryon in the winter if need more bulky stuff

  140. 1. I have just one main travel bag in carryon size
    2. I use it for vacations or business

  141. 1. Don’t use different bags for different seasons of travel.

    2. Do have different bags for business and pleasure travel: biggest bag is for family travel. (Wife always needs space in my bag to pack her overflow.)

    Question: how light are these Briggs bags? I’m really looking for a light wheeled bag.

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

    I do use different bags for work versus personal travel. Briggs & Riley is a favorite for work travel; using a Briggs & Riley garment bag for a short work trip right now.

  143. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No, I typically just travel with a Helly Hansen backpack/duffle bag.
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? I have a Samsonite carry on that can fit 2 days worth of clothes, but need to “up a little” in the professional traveler department. :/

  144. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? yes – never hold luggage for business, almost always hold luggage for leisure

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

    I don’t have different bags for work/leisure.

    My current bag’s zipper recently tore into the lining so it would be awesome if I could replace it with this one!

  146. 1. No, seasons don’t matter much in what I pack

    2. Yes, leisure v personal means I pack differently

  147. 1. No, I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. And nope, my beat up luggage goes with me whether it’s a work trip or a leisure trip!

  148. I do not have different bags for different seasons, nor different bags for work or vacation. I do have two different bags and alternate based on the state of the bags’ disrepair and corresponding level of shame I will feel on each trip.

  149. I don’t use different bags for different seasons.
    I do use different bags for different types of travel.

  150. 1. Yes. I use a smaller case in the summer months, and a larger one for the rest of year (more bulky coats, boots etc), although my bigger case was “terminated” by baggage handlers last trip.
    2. Yes. I have a smaller and better-looking case for work trips (3-4 days) and then a big older case for vacations which tend to be 7-10 days and include lots of bashing by the bag handlers.

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

    I have different bags for business clothes and safety gear (hard hat, boots, etc) so I keep things that get muddy and dusty seperated.

  152. Do you have different bags for different seasons? – No

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Yes – if regional jets are involved I’ll often travel with a small soft duffel. If not, the B&R Upright garment bag is my go to. Vacation travel will change the ball game entirely and I’ll take whatever will hold enough for my wife to be happy!

  153. 1 No. I do not see any need for different bags in different seasons.
    2 No. One bag rule them all.

  154. Different bags for different things? What a concept!

    1. Same bag for every day of the year
    2. Same bag for everything I do

  155. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, although if I am going somewhere really cold then I might actually check a bag with my parka and such.

    I do have different bags for business and leisure. Business is the good looking bag that says “successful businessman” while leisure is the beat up bag that says “don’t steal from me or charge me the rich man rate”

  156. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons per se, but will more often check for longer trips in winter where the 22″ just isn’t big enough with the extra layers.

    2. I have 3 different bags and all have their purpose: 22″ Victorinox suiter – workhorse for business travel carry-on, 19″ Tumi for overnights and international carry-on, 25″ Victorinox for long trips/vacation bag.

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

    I do not have different bags for different missions.

    I wish I traveled enough to justify specialized bags, but as of now I only travel for leisure. As such I only have two bags: one carry on size one medium check in. Depending on the length of stay or if I need to pack extras that would exceed the ‘one personal item’ rule, then I will use the check in.

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

    I also don’t have different bags for work/leisure.

  159. No

    No

    Use different bags for different trip lengths. That is really the only underlying factor.

  160. ■Do you have different bags for different seasons?

    ■Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

    1. I have a heavier bag for winter travel (in snow)
    2. I do have different abgs for work and play. Play is a backpack.

  161. 1. No, I don’t have a separate bag for different seasons.

    2. I don’t travel much for work, so no second bag for work/vacation.

  162. Thanks Gary!

    1. No, same bag for all seasons.
    2. No, same bag for all purposes.

  163. The answer to both questions is no. I use the same luggage for business and pleasure.

    Recently bought some new Olympia luggage to replace our cheapo JC Penneys red cloth stuff that was falling apart. Love the 3 piece Olympia Castle set, but I also bought an Olympia Titan carryon roller so my wife and I would each have an upgraded carryon.

    Even though they should be identical aside from the exterior side styling, the Titan’s wheels are awful and don’t swivel properly, so I could really use the Briggs & Riley bag! 🙂

  164. 1. I don’t have a different bag for different seasons.

    2. I do use different bags depending on the type of trip I’m on.

  165. I don’t have bags for different seasons. Do people really do that?

    I don’t have different bags for work and personal travel.

  166. I do have 2 sizes of bag based on the trip length and season.

    I do not have a personal vs. work bag.

  167. I do not have different bags for different seasons

    i do have different bags for work, due to what i need.

  168. I have two bags: big and small, and they work for all seasons and for all work and leisure travel. The deciding factor for me is how long I’m going to be gone and how much I need to carry. Usually this consists of trying to cram as much as humanly possible into “small” so I don’t have to check a bag.

    This would be a nice upgrade for “small.” Thanks for the contest.

  169. Different bags for different seasons – No.
    Different bags for different missions – No.
    Though I do take different bags based on the length of the trip.

  170. I do not have different bags for different seasons per se.

    I use a few different bags for business and pleasure. I did get rid of my cheap junky bags but O don’t have anything high end either. What I finally realize is that less is more. I pack a lot less than I used to and that has nothing to do with costs of checked baggage since I always get that for free or carry on. On overseas travel I take a lot less than I used to as well. I find hotel rooms especially in Europe can be small and bellmen are weak. Cabs have small trunks often. In Japan I paid a few bucks and my bag was shipped to my next hotel and that was a great system.

  171. 1. No I do not have bags for different seasons.
    2. Yes I do have different bags for vacation and work.

  172. Nope

    I have a big as Delta allows carry on for short trips and a big as Delta allows rolling duffel type thing I take on long trips. Not one for vacation and work but more dependent on destination and duration.

  173. No–I travel with the same weight/volume of clothes in both seasons, just bring a coat in winter

    Yes–I have 2 carry on rollers and a variety of checkable luggage. Match my bag to the space I need!

  174. I do not have different bags for different seasons, but I do have different ones for work (for travelling with suits without crumpling) / leisure (photography equipment etc…)

  175. I do not have different bags for different seasons or different bags for travel and work. What can I say? I’m a master of one bag fits all travel 😉

  176. I have the same travel bags for all seasons. I vary it depending only on how much I’m going to bring with me aka the length of the trip.

    For work I usually bring a smaller bag, even a small duffle, and for longer vacations I have a shoulder bag and a suitcase, and I pick from those depending on how much I’m bringing. It depends on the trip, the right bag for the right job!

  177. I am a traveler on a ventilator and in a wheelchair so I have a kind of bag for clothing/miscellaneous travel and a kind of bag for medical supplies and vent batteries, electrical converters etc. I love the Briggs & Riley line for both but slightly better for my misc/clothing than the supplies. Since I bring my body, ventilator & wheelchair with me & need med supplies no matter the season or trip purpose, I use the same bags for every trip. I’m not one who can travel light — 3 of the largest spinners no matter what trip or how long.

  178. I do not have a different bag for different seasons
    I do have different bags for different missions

  179. 1. No, all purpose is good
    2. Yes, to the extent that work is carrying only and leisure is normally with a checked bag.

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

    2. I do have a different bag for work, particularly if I need to be suited up. My vacation bag is different, and I am in need of a new one.

    Hope to win!

  181. i don’t have different bags for different seasons.

    i do carry different bags for trips of different lengths, but since i’m retired no special bag for work.

    thanks for the chance to win!

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

    I do have different bags for vacation (traveling w/ 2 kids under 4 requires much space w/ little desire to look professional). And for work I travel w/ carry on only and simple black.

  183. 1. No, not for different seasons
    2. Diiferent luggage for ski or golf trips; otherwise usually use the same luggage

  184. I don’t have different bags for different seasons but I do have different bags for travel vs business. On business my carry on is more of a leather suitcase and for vacation/pleasure it’s my Northface back pack. The suitcase is always my Tumi.

  185. I don’t maintain different bags for different seasons, but do have several bags for short, medium, long haul trips.

    Bags for different missions: I have several bags for the type of travel I am engaged in: leisure urban, adventure, business.

  186. I have a beat up bag for regular travel, and a nicer bag for trips with my wife.

  187. I have been using the same Ricardo hard shell rollaboard regardless of the season. Work or pleasure.

    I need a new one!

  188. 1. No, I do not have different seasonal bags.
    2. Yes, I use a larger bag for pleasure.

  189. 1) no, same bags for the same season
    2) yes, depending to length of vacation. Business travels usually a carry on. Travel with kids (3), luggages of all sizes are used.
    Thanks!

  190. 1: Not specifically designated as such, but I do use my larger bags more in the winter & smaller bags more in the summer, simply due to volume of clothing involved.
    2: No – I have one set of bags for everything. However, most of my business travel is carry-on only, while my personal travel tends to be longer trips requiring checked luggage, so there are some bags I use more frequently for leisure than for business.

  191. I don’t have ‘seasonal’ bags but I have different carry on bags dependent where I go to because in some countries you don’t get away with the US carry on bags. I also have a small carry on bag for 1 night trips.

    I use the same for pleasure and business travel with the exception of my 7 year old having his own carry own with his name on it.

  192. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. Neither do I have different bags for different missions.

    That’s why I need this!

  193. 1. Nope, no bags based on season.
    2. Yes, just the size of the bag for business vs. vacation.

  194. 1. Nope…same bags for all seasons
    2. Yes. I use a carry on for business travel (which is usually short trips) and have a larger suitcase for longer trips.

  195. 1. No.
    2. No.

    Luggages aren’t cheap, especially a well-made one. When I travel, I pick the luggage by its size only. So, for my 10-day business trip or 10-day vacation, I’d end up using the same luggagef for its capacity.

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

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    I have many that I choose between depending on location, duration, situation and possible confrontation. That last one isn’t true, just needed one more thing ending in -ation.

  197. 1) NO, same bag for all season
    2) No, luggage is based on length of trip rather than type of trip.
    Thanks.

  198. I don’t carry different bags for different seasons.
    I do carry a briefcase for work travel but otherwise bags vary according to length of travel.

  199. 1. No seasonal bags. But I have different types of bags based on travel need.
    2. No.

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

    2. Depending on the length of the business trip, I do have one that I might pull out instead.

  201. 1) Don’t have seasonal bags.

    2) Smaller carry-on for business travel while larger luggage for vacation/trips.

  202. 1. No, I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2. Yes, I do have different bags for vacation and travel, but mostly depends on how much gear I’m bringing.

  203. Great offer Gary, thanks for doing this.

    I don’t vary my bags by season, just retire them when they get too worn. Like many of the other posters, rather than business/leisure, I have different bags by size. For business I tend to use a carry-on, and pleasure a larger bag.

    Looking forward to the next B&R giveaway, they really make great bags.

    Matt

  204. No, i don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    I use the same bags for business and vacation travel, trying to keep what I bring the lightest and the least for both.

  205. No bags for different seasons
    But I do have different bags for vacation versus business related ventures
    Business is a bag/briefcase while vacation is a garment bag

  206. 1. I don’t have different bags for the different seasons.
    2. I don’t have different bags for work and vacation; it depends on the needs of the trip.

  207. No, I do not have different bags for different seasons. But I most commonly travel within California, where we don’t really have seasons.

    I do have different bags for different missions. One is better for holding suits and short trips. One is better for my laptop and other electronics. One is more general purpose for short trips.

  208. 1. No
    2. No
    I use the same black boring bag for all my travel. I would love a beautiful bag like Tumi, which is too rich for my blood as a rule!
    Crossing my fingers!

  209. 1) Nope… though I could see a smaller “summer” bag for when I don’t need as many sweaters and jackets

    2) Absolutely. I have a smaller “bulletproof” rollerboard for business travel, and a much larger, less robust bag for vacation travel

  210. Q1 – I don’t have different bags for different seasons
    Q2 – I do have different bags for different missions. Business travel dictates a certain piece of luggage while family vacations use luggage for everything and the kitchen sink

  211. 1) No different bag by season
    2) Yes, different bags for different types of trips. Business vs. Leisure, longer stay vs. short trip

  212. 1. No; 2. No.
    But I do have different bags for different volumes of packing, of course.

  213. 1. I definitely have a set of Ralph Lauren Rugby bags for non-airline travel and also for summers at the lake or the shore.
    2. To that point, yes … Different bags accompany me on different trips. I generally use a hard shell Tumi on any trip that requires a flight.

  214. I have one bag for any reason and/or season. It serves me well, and I would love more.

  215. 1. I don’t use different bags for different seasons.

    2. I do not use different bags for different types of travel.

    I sure could use an upgrade tho.

  216. 1. Same bag for all seasons
    2. Same bag for all trips – I try to fit everything for every trip into the same carry-on roller bag which means it’s big for a short trip and very full on a longer trip.

  217. No different bags for different seasons.
    Different bags for work and personal vacations.

  218. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons. That just sounds silly.

    2. I do have different bags for different “missions”. Even multiple variations of each (such as casual business vs. formal business), which now that I think about it, might be stranger than different bags for different seasons.

  219. 1) Nope
    2) Nope

    My bags are small, medium and large depending on duration of the trip.

  220. 1. I’m pretty much with Robert Bolt here, a bag for all seasons (unless I need to take lots of bulky winter stuff unusually)

    2. I typically use the same bag for both work and play, except for particularly complicated itineraries (with lots of weather variations say) where I might need to check a bag, then a different one.

  221. I do not use different bags for different seasons but I do have two different carry-ons for leisure and work travel (the work one has specified laptop storage and special compartment for my business clothes).

    My leisure luggage is 10 years old though and could certainly use an upgrade!

  222. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I have a Tumi for work and travel to luxurious places, and a beat-up bag for travel through less “pristine” airports or locations.

  223. I have bags for all seasons! Hot pink for a girlfriend getaway to black when I’m trying to look all business.

  224. 1) i dont have different bags fo different seasons
    2) i used to have different bags for leisure (roll-on carry on and a duffle bag) and work, but now i carry one (a duffle bag with roll away) for both leisure and travel

  225. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, and use the same carry-on luggage for all trips. But I’d love to have a tougher bag like this one for future biz trips!

  226. 1 no bag seasonality
    2 no work/ leasure difference but based on trip length. I do use a different bag for iPad only vs notebook & iPad.
    Thanks hope I win.

  227. Nope, I use the same bag unless I’m taking a long-term trip.

    No again, I use the same bag (carry on size) for both work travel and personal travel

  228. I do not have different bags for different seasons. My current Briggs & Riley selection serves me well for all weather!

    I do not have different bags for work/leisure per se, but I do shift them around based on what I’m taking, e.g. I use my transforming suitcase with a lid that turns into a backpack if I suspect I’m going to need extra space on the way back. This is more likely to happen on a leisure trip, especially if just before christmas!

  229. 1. No different bags for different seasons for me.
    2. Generally the same choices for leisure vs work. The only thing I care about is size, which I choose based on how many days worth I need.

  230. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    I don’t have different bags for different missions.

  231. I don’t use different bags for different seasons. For vacation, I use a much larger bag than for work as I’m taking more and anticipate shopping.

  232. Same bags for all seasons.

    Different bags for work vs vacation. Work bag is much smaller.

  233. No different bag for different seasons. Yes, I have a rolling laptop bag for day trips and a over the shoulder bag for vacations.

  234. 1) no different bags for different seasons
    2) I have a few different bags. A roll aboard, a samsonite hardcase that is indestructible (but I have, forced under warranty) that is bige enough to be checked but small enough to take on crowded public transit, and finally a massive hardcase 4 wheeler for work meetings.

  235. 1. No, one color, black is good enough for me.
    2. No, same bag for work or vacation.

  236. 1. No same luggage all year

    2. Yes, different bags for vacation, I dont pack as ftugally on vacation

  237. 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?
    Work is my Tumi gear. MRs are my Red Oxx gear. Vacation is either a hard shell if I want to buy booze or a back pack if I am being a bit more adventurous with my travels.

    Cheers

  238. 1) Same bag for different seasons. Its a samsonite

    2) Different bags for work vs vacation. Work bag is a tumi. Leisure bag is Louis Vitton.

  239. 1. No different bags for different seasons
    2. Sometimes use a different bag for work and vacation.

  240. 1. No, one bag for all seasons.

    2. Not usually different bags for different occasions, unless a special type of outfit or amount of space is particularly needed!

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

    I do have bags for different missions, depending on length/aircraft. CRJ Bag is a Tumi McGuire Duffel. Normal trip/duration is a Victorinox Werks Traveler 22″. Long trip is a Briggs Baseline 27″

  242. My trusty Briggs & Riley from the late 90’s is my all seasons all reasons bag. It’s worn and battered but it’s still up for any job.

  243. 1) Same bag for all seasons.

    2) Work bag is small so I don’t need to check it, vacation bag is big, so the ‘boss’ has more real-estate to pack her things. 🙂

  244. 1. No, same bag for all seasons.

    2. Yes, work bags tend to be cleaner in design, e.g. Tumi Alpha series, and random bags for vacation (read: bigger).

  245. 1)No
    2)No
    I literally live out of my bag full time. When one wears out or gets damaged I buy another. Same with clothes – what I have with me is what I have. When I get tired of them I go buy something else. Simplifies life a whole lot!

  246. I have a gym bag (sort of) which suffices the often overnight roadtrips and a carry-on, which is good enough for up to 2 weeks of recreational travels (or 1 week for work). This normally covers most of my trips! Anything longer, then I have to suck it up and check a bag.

  247. 1. No, I don’t have different bag for different seasons
    2. No, I don’t have different bags for different missions

  248. Hello and thank you for this wonderful giveaway.

    Do i have different bags for different season? Being an alpha male no i do not have different travel bags for different seasons!

    But i do have different bags for missions. I have a hefty duffel bag for when i go on MRs. Another one in black for business use only and finally all other misc trips in my silver.

    Good luck to everyone.

  249. 1. no
    2. definitely – 1 for 3 days or less, 1 for week, 1 for vacation to accommodate purchases

  250. No, I think luggage works in all seasons, so I only have one set 🙂

    No, I purposely bought a multi-functional black backpack to use to carry my work laptop, and camera while on vacation!

  251. Do you have different bags for different seasons? nope

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? nope, same one.

    thanks!

  252. 1. Same bags for all.
    2. Different bags depending mainly on length of trip.

  253. 1. Nope.

    2. Yes; it depends on how much moving about I’ll be doing while away.

  254. ■Do you have different bags for different seasons? Yes, it helps to have a bag for beach trips (and the sand that inevitably gets into it).

    ■Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Yes

  255. I do not have a bag for different seasons.

    I have different bags for different missions. I’ve a SwissGear 25″ spinner for longer trips, a 22″ Samsonite spinner for shorter trips, a 20″ Samsonite spinner as a laptop carryon, and a Timbuk2 laptop messenger bag for when I’m traveling with the larger bags and need my electronics with me. I also have a really large 29″ suitcase that rarely sees use except for long vacations.

  256. 1. Nope, same bags for all seasons.
    2. A small bag for overnighters, and another for 2+ nights that gets the brunt of the work.

  257. 1) No seasonal bags, all bags are used all year around
    2) Different bags for different durations, no differentiation if it’s for work or play. Just need the place to hold stuff

  258. 1. Only one bag all year round
    2. Same bag for all missions but sometimes remove the suitor for vacation vs. work

  259. 1, Different bags for seasons-No
    2, Different bags for different purposes-of course. I am one of the few that still has an EZ Cart, a pattented 4 wheel design that caused the bag to be a bit oversized regardless of what you argue. It goes on car trips and Premium class where they let it slide (roll).

  260. 1. No, same bag for all seasons!
    2. Yes, depends if my kids are traveling with me.

  261. 1. I do not have different bags for the seasons.
    2. I do not have different bags for work and leisure – One good sturdy bag is all I use.

  262. 1. No, and you never should have put that idea in my head.

    2. I have one small bag for 1-2 nighters, a carryon with wheels for trips lasting 3-4 days, and a checkin bag if going for a long trip, if it’s winter and I need more packing space, or I am planning on bringing back home lots of things that I accumulate during my trip (think MegaDO swag).

    The new B&R TORQ looks awesome and I could put it to great use. I even bet it would be my new favorite bag.

  263. 1, I do not have different bags for different seasons
    2, I do use different bags depending on the duration of my stay and reason for travel. Ie. Golf and or dive bag on vacation, big Ful bag for long international trips and Tumi for short hauls.

  264. No I don’t have a different bag for different seasons.

    I do have a different bag for different trips. If its a quick trip, and its personal ill carry on in a smaller bag. If its for work or a longer trip I will bring out the bigger stuff.

    Thanks for doing this!

  265. 1. Same bag for all seasons, though I use different bags depending on whether it’s a domestic or international trip.

    2. Same bag as I no longer travel for work.

  266. I use a small Coach bag for short overnight trips. On longer trips I take a larger bag. It’s not really a seasonal thing more a time gone thing.

  267. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    I do have different bags for work vs.leisure travel.

  268. 1 – I definitely do not bother with different bags for different seasons, 2 – but do change bag colors according to which airports I will be traveling through.

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

    I do have different bags for work/leisure!

  270. Same bag(s) regardless of seasons.

    Different bags sometimes based on length of stay and/or distance traveled.

  271. 1) I never change bags due to season

    2) I change bags according to my needs and which countries I am visiting. Certain countries you really need your bag color or style to stand out; others no way.

  272. 1- I use the same bag for all seasons.
    2- I use the same bag as I don’t travel for work.

  273. 1. Yes. I have a wider carry-on that gets gate checked more but that can handle my winter jackets. In summer, I use a thinner bag since my light-dresses fit in there just fine.

    2. Yes, I use spinner suitcases for work, but sometimes use regular pull suitcases on vacation.

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

    I do not have a different bag for work/leisure (as I don’t travel for work) but I do have different bags for different types of trips (ie, larger bags for longer international trips).

  275. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons. I have a separate snowboarding bag for snowboarding specifically though.

    2. I have a single carry on I use for all missions except that I may bring an additional larger suitcase for leisure

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

    I do not have different bags for work/leisure!

  277. 1. No, bags do not differ based on season.
    2. Yes, I use Codi laptop bag for business travel (I pack light so can fit clothing/flip flops/toiletries for 2 nights in accessory section), and I recently bought a convertible backpack for a vacation to AUS/NZ.

  278. Same bag for all seasons.

    Same bag for all missions. Unless it’s a really long or really short trip.

  279. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

    1.) Actually, I’ve always traveled with my Travelpro luggage. This past weekend, the handle broke! So- same bag for different seasons!
    2.) For vacation travel and work, once again I always used my trusted Travelpro carry-on.

    This suitcase looks pretty cool!

  280. 1) I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2) I do not have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work.

    I use the same carry-on bag. Thanks.

  281. 1. No. I’m not a “seasons” guy.
    2. Yes. I have several sizes of the eBags TLS bags. For a month long vacation to a apt in Paris, for instance, the 29″ bag is the winner. Shorter trips get the 25″ or 21″ bags. I have a Timbuktu 20″ that is great for Intl carry-ons.

  282. I don’t have a different bag for different seasons; however, I do have a different bag for different missions – I have a roll-aboard delsey for weekly travel and a large hard-case for checking scuba gear. It’s nice to have my own gear with me, but it is a pain to travel with it.

    I’m debating switching my 2-wheel roll-aboard to a 4-wheeled hard-case simply due to wear and tear (and I check it half the time if I’m going into a quiet airport through a long layover at a busy airport).

  283. Its really nice to have a hard sided Briggs & Riley Bag because they can take the abuse airlines give them and with the color choice, you can find out thats easier to spot.

    Do you have different bags for different seasons? No

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Yes For sure as when I travel on vacation it is often a week or more at a time.

  284. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I do have different bags for different missions, 3-4 days I fit in a rolling tote, for 1 week or if I need a suit it’s an 18inch roll-on and for longer than that a 22inch expandable roll-on. I also carry a separate laptop backpack.

  285. I don’t have different bags per season, but I do for work vs personal. For work I use a 20″ Antler bag and usually for personal I usually use a TravelPro Maxlite.

  286. 1. Nope. I just one bag pretty exclusively year-round
    2. And again, nope. I don’t do as much vacation travel as work travel, sadly…

    I’m actually looking for a new bag atm!

  287. 1) No, I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2) Yes, work travel requires a rolling suitcase for professional dress while some holidays, I can usually manage with a duffle.

  288. 1) No. The bags are year rounders.

    2) Absolutely yes. I have a collection of luggage, with different styles and sizes depending on the “mission”. Work bags have more pockets and carry the work essentials in easy to use fashion. Leisure bags are more about capacity and don’t need all the features of good work bags.

  289. I do not have different bags for the seasons. One bag serves all 4.

    I don’t have different luggage for work travel but do pack extra organizational things and suit bags to keep things nice during the trip.

    I hope I’m lucky today!

  290. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. When I go for work, I take my black carry so that it “hides” within the crowds. When I go on personal trips, I take my bright blue one so it’s easy to spot, especially when I have to do gate-side baggage claim.

  291. Don’t have different bags for different seasons, but do for different missions. Tumi for shorter trips or when I need to or want to carry on. A large Briggs and Riley for longer trips. Sometimes just a backpack on a mileage run. Various duffels for overflow when I just have way to much stuff.

  292. 1. Nope, no bag for different seasons!

    2. Yes, some holidays are short enough to go by with just a duffel…else I bust out the big suitcase!

  293. 1. I use a larger bag in the winter because winter clothes are bigger.

    2. I don’t travel for work, so I just have one bag for vacation travel.

  294. 1. Same bags for regardless of season

    2. Different bags depending mainly on length of trip, if it’s a weekend, I typically just use a duffle, anything longer than that, I use something bigger.

  295. 1. No. Season doesn’t affect my choice of bag. Purpose of trip does…

    2. …Yes, I use different bags depending on the occasion. For work I try to to travel as light as possible, so go with a Timbuk2 laptop to force myself to take only essential electronics and books; for carry-on an eBags 22 inch pro roller has held up for about 10 years of pretty hard use.

    Vacation is another story. I use a couple of Mountainsmith products: a daypack for electronics and essentials, a medium duffle for clothing.

  296. 1. Yep I have a backpack for short summer trips along with my regular all-year roll-aboard.

    2. I don’t have different purpose bags but I do have a bag at home to immediately enclose my travel bag with before coming indoors. I had one incident with bedbugs and one is enough.

  297. 1. Same bag(s) for all seasons.
    2. Same bag(s) for work as for short personal trips (a 20″ carryon). For longer personal trips I use a larger, 24″ suitcase.

  298. 1. Same bags for all seasons
    2. Same bag for all missions

    Bag choice for me depends mostly on trip length

  299. 1) I use the same bag for all seasons
    2) I also have the same bag for personal and business travel, though we have a big duffel that we bring for baby stuff when we travel with our 1 year old. He requires a lot of volume!

  300. 1. Same bags for all seasons
    2. Carry on for business travel. Big rollers for travel with the wife- she overpacks

  301. My wife would answer both of these completely differently, but I personally have a “go to” bag that I’ve used for all travel for the past number of years. Creature of habit, perhaps…or maybe I just prefer the overall simplicity.

  302. 1)More like climates – I have a lightweight backpack I take to the tropics, and a larger rolling duffel when I’m taking more gear.

    2) Yes, I use a pretty standard rolling carry-on bag for work.

  303. Thanks for the opportunity Gary! My cheap “Lanza” carry on bag I got from a tourist trap in SFO 9 years ago finally broke on my last trip, so this is perfect timing!

  304. Do you have different bags for different seasons?

    No.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

    I should. If I win, I’ll consider it. =)

  305. – I don’t have a bag for different seasons – what I have has to perform under any conditions!
    – I’m only a leisure traveler, so no business bags for me. My luggage is small, smaller and smallest, for maximum flexibility.
    Thanks for the contest!

  306. 1. Not necessarily different bags for different “seasons”.

    2. But, yes, different choices for different “reasons”. IE: for business tours, prefer a Tumi leather fold-over for wardrobe. Non-business, an expandable soft case for all those extras.

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

    I do have different bags for different missions. I use a black Briggs & Riley bag for work trips. I sometimes use this for vacations as well (especially because it is expandable) but I have a light-weight hard-sided bag by Heys that is bright and fun and great for short weekend leisure trips. I love that the new Briggs and Riley bags combine the best of each!

  308. Do you have different bags for different seasons? Nope, same two bags for all seasons.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Not specifically, but I have one small bag (which can carry on) and one large (that can’t) which I’ll use depending on length of stay.

  309. I dont have different bag for different seasons but definitely tend to travel lighter and use a smaller bag for business

  310. No different bags for different seasons. I usually just carry a large coat in the winter.

    For work I use my Victornox bag which is a huge carry on. For vacation travel I use my Osprey Sojourner which can fit a lot and be used as a backpack if necessary.

  311. I had the same rollable, material Samsonite from my honeymoon 16 years ago. RIP old friends.

    My “new” plastic casing rollable bag and carry- on were destroyed by baggage handlers (thieves) on my return trip from Milan. My extension handle is locked in place.

    A) same bags are used for every trip
    B) I even check-in the carry-on ….. I like to fly “hands free” on board

  312. Definitely not for season and not really for business either- one small carryon usually serves all purposes

  313. 1) No. I use the same generic hand-me-down bags from my wife for every season.
    2) No. I have developed a severe allergic reaction to work since my retirement. Being retired I only travel for the sake of travel since I no longer have weekends or holidays off, nor vacations for that matter. Winning a Briggs & Riley TORO would allow me to travel in style with a bag that will last me a lifetime.

  314. 1. Interesting thought. I suppose you mean the season of the destination. I definitely use bigger bags for Alaska than the Dominican Republic, regardless of the season.

    2. Travel is work, so no real disconnect there.

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

    I use different bags depending on the purpose of the trip. Non-business travel with lots of location changes calls for a backpack. Otherwise it’s a regular 22″ roller bag or a larger one for longer trips.

    Thanks Gary!

  316. I do not have different bags

    If it’s a weekend trip I just take a backpack. Week long I take a roller.

  317. 1. No
    2. No, but I’m more likely to bring a laptop bag over a backpack as a personal item for a work trip.

  318. 1. Same bags no matter the season.
    2. Do use different bags for airline travel vs. car travel.

  319. I do not have different bags for different seasons. I do, however, use a different combination of bags for different types of trips. Once I travelled on Allegiant to a wedding for three days and only took a purse! Didnt want to pay the pesky cabin baggage or checked baggage fees…..

  320. Different bag for different seasons? Handbag by all means;, suitcase? The vanity ends here..that is a no!
    Different bag for different occasion: Absolutely…those MR bring out my compact for the short connect times.

  321. 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? No.

    No to both, that’s why I could use another bag….

  322. No, I do not have a different bag for different seasons. To do so has never occurred to me.

    I have 2 go-to bags. One a carry on which I use most of the time. The other is a lightweight hardshell standard size bag for more lengthy travels where I need to pack more than my carry on will accommodate.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  323. 1. I do not have a different bag for different season.

    2. Yes, I sure do have a different bag for different missions. I have a small carry on Desley for business travel. And when I go on vacations, I carry a larger duffle type bag.

    Thanks. Hope I win!

  324. 1. Same bag for all seasons
    2. Yes, different bags for different missions (wouldn’t want to bring a backpack to a board meeting)

  325. 1. I don’t have different bags for seasons, just 1.

    2. I take the same bag on business and vacations.

    Thanks!

  326. 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? Sometimes use different bags, but only out of necessity.

  327. I do not have a different bag for different seasons.

    I have a different bag for different trip lengths. A one night bag. A 2-3 night bag. A 4-6 night bag. A 7+ night bag. All with clean undershirts, socks and underwear that are never unpacked.

  328. I don’t have dedicated bags for different seasons, though I suppose I would naturally use a larger bag during the colder months.

    I definitely carry different bags depending on the trip – domestic (and short international) work gets a rollaboard. Vacation or extended travel uses a backpack or duffel.

  329. 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.

  330. ■Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No, I do not have a different bag for different seasons.

    ■Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Yes, usually depending on the amount of things I need. Larger bag for winter, or longer stay. For long-term military travel I use my issued seabag which unfortunately has no wheels.

  331. No. I don’t have different bags for the seasons.

    Yes. I have two hace different luggage (sizes) for different type trips.

  332. Same bags for any season, any mission, but:
    Only the carry-on for business trips.

  333. No I dont have different bags for different seasons

    Yes, everyone kinda should, cuz its just different size bags for different type of trips.

  334. Same bag for each season

    Same rollaboard for business and personal, although I sometimes check a larger bag for personal.

  335. I am devoted to carry on ONLY and equally devoted to Gary to get me wherever I want to go in first class with points ONLY. Both difficult but essential for me to experience sensational travel experiences! Seriously, I’ve done 16 days in Vietnam and 18 days in Bali/Singapore….with Gary making the tickets possible and my 19 inch Tumi making the travel EASY. But, I am open to experiencing the B/R that everyone is talking about. Season, seriously doesn’t matter. If I can’t make it happen in a rollaboard and big pocketbook, I’m not going! Summer months make bulky warm clothes a non issue and space bags and a package of woolite and I’m outta here….that is, if I have Gary’s first class tix!!!

  336. Luggage is NOT a fashion statement to me so NO, I do NOT have different bags for different seasons. And NO, I do NOT have different bags for different kinds/length of trips. My B&R rollaboard is good for ALL seasons and ALL trips.

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

    Nevertheless, I do use a different bag depending on the trip!

    Fingers Crossed!

  338. -Have a winter bag and rest of the year bag
    -“adventure bag” for going on active vacations, and a more formal bag for city trips

  339. 1. I use the same suitcases no matter what season it is.
    2. I use the same suitcases for work and vacation.

  340. I use one suitcase regardless of the time of year.
    I use a smaller carry on for business and a larger case for pleasure.

  341. 1. I have the same carry on bag for all my personal travel regardless of season.

    2. I don’t travel for business so I use the same bag on all my personal trips.

    Thanks!

  342. No different bag for the seasons, and I use the the same luggage for all my travels.

  343. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, but …

    I do have different bags for work versus leisure: when I’m flying for work, I normally have nice clothes that I want to protect in a rollaboard or a garment bag. When I’m flying for fun, I’m usually carrying a duffle packed with outdoors gear.

  344. ◾Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No.

    ◾Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Not really. My bag varies by length of trip, which tends to correlate to purpose sometimes.

  345. 1. No, I use my Patagonia MLC most of the time.

    2. If it’s more than a couple days, I’ll use my Patagonia MLC. If it’s just an overnight, I just go with my Tom Bihn Checkpoint Flyer.

  346. Do you have different bags for different seasons? – Nope – one for the entie year!

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? – nope, I want to stay organized, so I bring my work luggage along on vacation.

  347. 1. Yup, have different bags depending on the season (mostly dependent on the weather of the destination since I live in SoCal). Warmer clothes means a bigger bag!
    2. Definitely. I typically use a garment bag that I can put a suit in for business; I use a duffel bag for pleasure. Though this new suitcase might fit the bill for both!

  348. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    I have bags that work more for work than for vacation but in general my bags are the same (large and in charge)

  349. No, i dont have different bags for seasons, i dont live in places with serious winter.

    Yes i have different bags for different missions: larger and smaller rollaboard for different trip durations, and i prefer a duffel bag for weekend car trips.

  350. Nope, one bag to rule them all, season or reason. I do like the 4 wheel spinners mostly because I’m 6’5″ and the handles on most bags are too short and rolling these bags upright is much better. They are sometimes annoying in that they make much more noise on some airport floors, tiled especially. Thanks!

  351. 1) Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, it’s all the same to me.

    2) Yes. Vacation always involves the kids and I’d rather check bags than have to deal with carrying kids and a bunch of bags onto the plane – this means it’s usually a larger 25 or 29”. For work domestically I use a 20” Samsonite (which needs replacing) and if I’m traveling internationally I use a 22” Tumi, which I love but is quite heavy when loaded up.

  352. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons. I guess that matches with my being a Florida girl. We pretty much have just one season (hot! – lol).

    2. I don’t have a different bag for business and leisure and that’s mainly because I’m a civil servant. Due to budgetary constraints I don’t get to go to all the great conferences others in the Urban Planning field attend. Ignorance is bliss 🙂 So all my travel bags are leisurely.

  353. No to both. Usually travel with a Delsey rollaboard and a North Face Backpack.

  354. I do not carry different bags for different seasons and I do not use different bags on vacation.

    Thank You

  355. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Yes, since I’ll often check a bag on vacation but never on business.

  356. 1. I do tend to use a larger bag in the winter bc it’s hard to fit sweaters and bulkier shoes in a smaller bag.

    2. for work, I have a B&R rolling bag with a suiter and for pleasure I use a B&R rolling duffle.

    P.S Your local Costco may carry a single model of the Baseline collection, carry on sized for as low as $189.99 but the model varies a bit with the store.

    Peace.

  357. I dont have bags for different seasons.
    I dont have different bags for work and vacation. My tumi has been handling the job so far but am curious to try Briggs & Riley.

  358. No bag for different seasons.

    Not really. I have a Tumi garment bag that I combine with a Halliburton carry-on for most domestic flights and an Eagle Creek for longer hauls.

  359. Really surprised by all the No and No’s… I’m Yes and Yes:

    I have a waterproof, hardshell case for the winter/rainy season, and lighter, expandable bag for summer/fall — if you’ve ever had to wait for the bus in a monsoon, at least the clothes in your bag are dry!

    For business travel, I visit clients directly, so a small carryon and matching laptop bag for convenient size and classy looks is a must. For my personal trips, I have a backpack with pockets/straps for my camera stuff, and pouches for snacks and water bottles.

    I actually never heard of Briggs & Riley until your post; I’ll definitely have to check them out come holiday season for wish list candidacy. Thanks for the review!

  360. 1. No, season doesn’t matter, except to the extent that it could impact the amount of gear taken, as per my answer to 2.
    2. Yes, if you consider it a mission to carry the minimum needed for the particular trip, and not have it flop around in a mostly empty bag. So, various sized non rollers, and a couple rollers for heavily laden adventure.

  361. I don’t have different bags for different seasons. Neither do I have different bags for work and play.

  362. 1) Nope, one bag for all seasons
    2) Yes, sometimes I’ll take a larger bag on vacations.

  363. 1) No

    2) Not really. I have a large bag used exclusively for longer leisure trips, but for most trips—business or pleasure—I use the same 22″ rollaboard.

  364. 1) not different bags for different seasons, but for different missions (i.e. trade show “uniform” typically trousers and polo, business meeting is suit)

    2) usually end up packing MORE on vacation (typically a checked bag or sometimes even extra bag due to sports gear, etc)

  365. 1) My bags are usually All-season. Traveling from northern to southern hemisphere results in change of season. Hence, all-season works best for me.
    2) Yes, I have different bags for work, family vacation, personal time-off.

  366. 1. NO. Limited home space for multiple travel bags
    2. Don’t travel at all for work. Like to have a flexible bag for all needs

  367. 1. No.
    2. Kinda. I just have 2 bags. One for trips under 5 nights, then a bigger one with wheels for longer trips. Thanks!

  368. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2. Bags used vary by length of trip not by type of trip.
    I use up my bags before buying another; never had a lifetime guarantee.

  369. I have one carry-on bag for all seasons and all types of trips. I have a great tote from Flight 001 that folds up into a small pouch. I’ll use that if I buy too many new clothes or gifts.

  370. ◾Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No

    ◾Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Not really, though I do have a travel backpack for any travel where that works easier.
    And use carry on bag for shorter trips and check-in usually on international.

  371. I typically travel with the same pack. My trusty Eagle Creek rollerboard has seen 5 continents and continues to serve me well.

  372. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    Yes, if I’m going some place warm, I take a minimal suitcase, sometimes under 20 litres.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    A definite yes; different bags depending on what country I’m going to and how long I stay.

  373. I have 1 favorite bag (purple Samsonite) for all seasons and use the same bag for all traveling, both business and pleasure.

  374. I have at LEAST two different bags for different seasons!

    I also have my go-to work bag, as well as my leisure bag.

  375. 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..

  376. 1. Not really, I have always been using the same bag.
    2. I do have a vacation bag and a work bag 😉

  377. 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

  378. 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.

  379. 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.

  380. 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 😉

  381. 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.

  382. 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.

  383. 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.

  384. 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.

  385. 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.

  386. 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.

  387. 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.

  388. 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.

  389. 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.

  390. 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.

  391. 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…

  392. 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!!!

  393. 1. No
    2. Yes, when traveling light is required I use backpack which converts to bag with soft handles, as my carryon

  394. 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.

  395. 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.

  396. no to both questions. (unless you count different sized bags depending on how much i pack.)

  397. 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

  398. 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.

  399. 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?

    Yes, a laptop bag for business and just a small bag for vacation

  400. 1) I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2) I use the same bag wherever I go.

  401. 1) No
    2) No

    I usually travel with the same bags for both business and personal.

    THANK YOU!

  402. 1. No, seasons don’t matter much in what I pack

    2. Yes, leisure v personal means I pack differently

  403. No on both. I use my old Samsonite. I’ve been thinking about getting one. So hopefully I will win this ! thank you!

  404. No. My bags are for all season’s.

    I do have a garment bag and laptop bag for work.

  405. I do NOT have different bags for different seasons.

    I Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and end of year going home travel.

    when i travel for a vacation i go for my best suitcase that is light and very maneuverable. going home i take my other big and bulky suitcase.

  406. Love Briggs and Riley, and have visited the repair center in Half Moon Bay- worthwhile trip!

    Use the same bag all season

    Different bags for work and vacation

  407. no, I have one bag and one bag only. But maybe that is why I so desperately need to win this giveaway 😉

  408. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I do not have different bags for work and leisure – since I don’t work anymore!

  409. Use different bags for different seasons

    Often use the same bag for work or vacations (small carryon)

  410. 1. Nope just 1 all purpose bag.

    2. I just pack different for business or leisure. I seem to be able to pack lighter on business trips. Vacations, I ALWAYS over pack.

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

    I do not have different bags for work/leisure, but would love to replace mine.

  412. No, I do not have separate bags for different season.

    Yes, I do have different bags for different missions — based on length of trip. I like to have as small a bag as possible.

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

    I do not have different bags for work/leisure though its time to change my current one. Its tired after 3 yrs of weekly travel.

  414. 1. I use the same bag for all seasons
    2. I don’t travel for work so I use the same bag for everything !

  415. No and No… unfortunately I don’t travel enough to justify something different.

  416. hi
    i don’t have diff bags for seasons and i also don’t have diff luggage for diff travel

  417. 1. Smaller bag for summer travel (since clothing is less bulky)
    2. I use tumi for work and a duffel bag or leisure travel.

  418. i do not have different bags for different season.

    i dont have different bags for work/leisure.

  419. 1 – I don’t have different bags for different seasons
    2 – I primarily have 2 bags – a Tumi (that would be great to swap out with a B&R) when I know I won’t have to check/gate check it, and a delsey that’s on its last legs when I know I will (e.g. flying on a regional jet).

  420. I do not have different bags for different seasons per se, but I do have different bags in general and there’s a correlation between which season it is and which bag I use (typically use larger bags in winter as those clothes take more space).

    I do have different bags for different missions (e.g. rolling briefcase for work vs. backpack for vacation).

  421. 1. I don’t carry different bags for different seasons. I tend to take short, frequent trips, and a carry-on is usually all I need.
    2. I don’t travel a ton for work, but when I do it’s usually only for a night, so I usually just take my normal rollerboard or a small duffel bag.

  422. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    One bag for all seasons. Winter in New York and winter in Florida covers most climates.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Work is a single rollaboard. Vacation is hopefully long enough that I need a larger bag to check.

  423. I dont have different bags for different seasons but mainly use backpacks during rainy season.

    I always use different bags for work, and vacation/leisure. A B&R carryon is my main bag for vacation and a kenneth cole for work.

  424. I have different bags, but have not ever varied use by season.

    Likewise, I use the same bags for business and personal travel and instead switch up based upon size and capacity needed for a given trip.

  425. I do not vary my luggage by season; it’s the same rag tag set all year round.

    I do vary luggage by mission, but I don’t travel for work at all. So, it depend on if I am vacationing; and there are 2 forms of vacation … long ones and/or ones where I might bring back purchased items (souvenirs), and quicker trips where picking things up is rare.

    After our last 2 week trip to Hawaii and American Samoa (been back 1 week) I declared that I have to get a different carry-on setup. This would fit perfectly into my scheme!

  426. 1. Same bag for all seasons.
    2. Don’t need to travel for work so same bags for vacation.

  427. no, and no. I will tend to use the bigger bags for vacations — I typically want more changes of clothes, and more variety. But it’s the same pool of bags.

  428. 1. No. I dont have different bags for different seasons. Dont travel enough to justify the difference.
    2. Yes, I use a rick steves soft bag for personal trips (not worried about suit wrinkles) and a rollaboard with more structure for work travel.

  429. 1. Same bags for all seasons
    2. Different bags for vacation and work, since vacation bags are chosen by my wife! and my work luggage is a much heavier but (I think easier to roll) suitcase

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

    2) I do not have different bags for work and leisure.

    I do have different sized bags for different length trips/packing needs.

  431. I don’t necessarily have different bags for different seasons. For me, it’s a matter of whether I need a small carry-on versus something larger that needs to be checked based upon length of stay. Of course, heading to a colder climate during the winter months may necessitate a checked bag for thicker sweaters and coats.

    I do have different bags however when it come to personal travel versus work. Suits and dress shirts require a different type of baggage versus a purely leisure vacation. Plus, I may have to bring an extra bag from work with my “work essentials” as well.

  432. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, but do have different bags for different lengths of trips. It’s not exactly different for leisure and business, but those two kinds of trips tend to break down into general categories: leisure for me tends to be longer trips; while business is more shorter trips, so my bags break down that way.

    And I do own two Briggs & Riley bags – a carry-on and a larger checked suitbag.

  433. I don’t have a different suitcase for different seasons. In terms of trip purpose I take a different carryover. For adventurous fun trips I usually carry a book bag. For fun shorter trips I take a fun colored shoulder bag. Last for business I take a functional bag with lots of pockets and a laptop sleeve.

  434. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No. (and what are seasons?)

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Yes, but I don’t fully understand my reasons.

  435. 1. Same bag year round
    2. Same bag for all purposes, use them till they wear out

  436. I do not have different bags for different seasons. I generally use my MEI carry on for all missions – vacation and travel. However, when traveling to East Africa to visit friends and family, I max out my luggage allowance with large rollers or duffels.

  437. 1. I don’t have different bags depending on the season.

    2. I use the same bag regardless of work & leisure

    That being said, I have a larger bag for extended trips.

  438. 1) I use the same bag for all seasons.
    2) I use the same bag for work travel and leisure travel.

  439. I do not have seasonal bags.

    I do have different bags for business or pleasure travel

  440. My first time to enter a contest.

    I neither have a bag for different seasons nor different occasions.

    Thanks for the great insights, Gary!

  441. 1 – One bag works year round
    2 – I have one bag for 1-14 nights and another for 14+ trips.

  442. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I do not have different bags for work and leisure.

  443. 1 – I have one bag year round
    2 – I do have a bag for 1 or 2 nights, especially in the summer

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

    However, I do find it useful to carry different bags for vacation and work!

  445. 1. No
    2. No. Use various bags depending on length of travel. If I can get away with carry on ,will go for that

  446. I use the same American Tourister 22in for all seasons
    I use it for work and pleasure

    It is the weight and amount inside that varies
    It is only when the trip is very short I go to a smaller 20in samsonite

  447. I have one bag I use year around and I use the same bag for business and vacation, etc. However I will add a bag if needed. I have a Delsey bag that I love.

  448. 1. One expandable bag for all seasons
    2. Different bag for kitesurfing road trips.

  449. I do not have different bags for different seasons.I do have different bags for work/leisure.

  450. 1. I have the same bags for all seasons.
    2. I have different bags for my mission trips on behalf of a children’s charity (large) and my regular bags fr all other trips. I take donated items fr the children.

  451. No, and kinda (less a rule than the fact that I always pack my rollaboard for biz and big arse rolling duffels when traveling with the family)

  452. No, I do not have different bags for different seasons.

    Yes, I have different bags for work and leisure. Leisure usually larger than work one.

  453. I do not have different bags for different bags for different seasons.
    Because all our travel is Leasure travel, my husband and I share bags so it wold be nice to have one of my very own.

  454. 1) No, I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2) No, my bags vary by the length of the visit, not the type of visit (work/vacation). International leisure trips are longer, so bigger bags (old, beat up but proven Atlantic bags).

  455. 1. I have different bags for different seasons of life (e.g. when I am traveling as a mom vs traveling without my daughter) – does that count? Otherwise, no.

    2. Just different bags for different lengths of time gone. Nothing super-special thought!

  456. I do use different bags for different reason. Business travel is always a carry-on garment bag. Leisure travel could be a number of different bags

    Different bags for different lengths of time and different types of travel.

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

    2.Yes it depends on length of stay and destination.

  458. 1. Same bags all the time.
    2. Regular luggage bought from side store in Asia somewhere and my good old high school wrestling duffel are the default.

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

    2. I use the same bag for business and pleasure. But I do have different bags for different lengths of stay.

  460. 1) Same bag regardless of season
    2) Nope. Use my bright green luggage for work and play

  461. I do use different bags depending on the season.

    I don’t use different luggage for different missions.

  462. 1. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No, I use the same bag regardless of season.

    2. Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Sometimes, but more often it is the length of the trip that changes my choice of bags.

  463. 1. Same bag for all seasons,
    2. but I do have a small bag for overnight trips and a bigger (albeit still a carry-on) for multiple nights.

  464. I) Same bags regardless of season
    2) Rimowa and Samsonite Xlite for long trips, Hideo Wakamatsu for short trips

  465. 1) Nope. If it is sunny, raining, snowing, …. always the same bags
    2) Yes. I use a carry on for work and bigger bags for vacation

  466. 1) I use the same bags for all seasons (all carryons)
    2) I use the same bags for vacation and work (all carryons)

  467. 1 – No, but sometimes I carry my heavy coat and wear snow boots on the plane (ski trip)
    2 – I have one bag that folds away very well and one that is easier to use when I have more space to stow it. It’s more about space than reason for the vacation/trip.

  468. I Do Not Have Different Bags For seasons.
    I Do Have different sized Bags For Work Vs Leisure (Family Sized)

  469. 1) No, same bags for all seasons….
    2) Carry-on only for work – NEVER CHECK LUGGAGE for work travel. Regular checked in bags for vacation (need space for my wife’s shoes :-))

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

    2) Since I only travel for vacation, I only use one type of bag.

  471. I do not have different bags for different seasons but do take different bags based on the type of travel. I don’t travel much for work but will pack different bags based on my type of travel…car, plane, train, etc.

  472. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    **YEP, I unintentionally use a hard side in the winter and soft in the summer (probably b/c it is a tadbit smaller because I don’t have as many clothes).**

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    **Yes, travel is light and easy. Vacation is with family, so I’m probably checking something.**

  473. 1. Nope. Same bag for all seasons.
    2. Yes. I tend to travel light for work which leads me to use my smaller Travelpro for quick business trips.

  474. same bags all year round
    same bags for work and play
    the only thing that changes is the size; small for short trips, large for long trips or simply when i need to transport stuff.

  475. 1. No – not that fancy!
    2. Absolutely – leather duffel for quick casual overnights – 2 days max. Garment roller if I need a suit. Medium size expandable if I’ll be a while (though I try to avoid checking anything in like the plague).

    More importantly, I’m soooo over Tumi by now and want to trade in for a B&R!! Pick meeeeee!!

  476. 1) No, I use the same ones for all seasons
    2) Yes. for travel with family, lightweight is supreme, while for work, I like lots of compartments.

  477. 1. I don’t have bags for different seasons.
    2. Yes, duffel bag when hotel hopping and a roller for extended stays.

  478. The answer is no and no. I want one bag for all types of travel. Who has space for more than one bag in the closet at home?

  479. 1) No. Not enough place in my apartment to store seasonal luggage.
    2) Yes. I use a carry on for work and bigger bags for vacation (all Briggs and Reilly actually).

  480. 1. one bag for all seasons
    2. one bag for all trips and im so tired of it! need something new
    thanks!

  481. 1 – Same bag for all seasons
    2 – It’ll work for both business and leisure but usually I need more (or less!) space for leisure

  482. Nope, I don’t have different bags for different seasons or missions-just a hodgepodge of unmatched luggage and athletic bags!

  483. Nope. Just one carry-on for all trips. Whether 2 weeks in Europe. Week in Hawaii. 2-day biz trip. My trusty Delsey does the trick. Curious to see how this Briggs bag holds up.

  484. 1. I sometimes use a larger bag for bulkier clothes for a cold weather destination.

    2. I don’t travel for work but do take a smaller bag for overnights or weekend jaunts; larger one for longer trips.

  485. I don’t have different bags for different seasons per se. Winter usually requires more clothing/layers which sometimes forces me to check a bag if the trip is long enough.

    This also much depends on the length of the trip. I have a weekender bag for personal weekend getaways, a carry on for all work trips and any personal trip under 7-8 days, and a bigger checked bag for anything longer.

  486. I don’t have different bags for different season nor do i have different bags for different missions.

  487. Unfortunately…No, I don’t use different bags for different seasonsor different missions. I’m limited to a few old pieces of Samsonite!

  488. imnotarunner at gmail dot com
    I don’t have different bags for different seasons I never really thought about the reason behind needing it to be honest.

    I also don’t have different bags for work/leisure. I do pack differently

    My bag choice is dependent on length of trip and climate of the place I’m going to.
    My luggage is always from a discounted store and they do not last. It would be nice to have quality luggage for a change

    I bought a samnsonite from costco and used it twice. My puppy chewed up the most important part, the ZIPPER and now my spinner set is rendered completely useless.

  489. 1) I have one carry-on bag that I use for every season.

    2)I only have a carry-on bag that I take on all types of trips. I also have a larger suitcase for long trips.

    Thanks, Gary!

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

    But I do have different bags for work and vacation. (Vacation is bigger!)

  491. I do not have different bags for different seasons, but I usually travel lighter for business, with a more boring bag, whose wheels leave a lot to be desired. My favorite trick is to take a carry on and within it a folded thin bag that becomes checked luggage on the way back. This comes handy when visiting countries that have excellent cheeses that count as “liquids” and cannot be brought on board (also they smell)

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

    Do you have different bags for different missions – Usually I have to check a larger bag when I’m traveling for pleasure to hold all of my wife’s stuff.

  493. 1. I do not have different bags by season.

    2. I do not have work and sleisure bags.

    I have two bags for travel – a carry on and a full size.

    Fingers crossed for new luggage!

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

    I don’t have different bags for different missions. Length of trip determines which suitcase I take from my mismatched and aged but reliable, collection.

  495. Just 1 bag to do it all.
    1. No. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    2. No. Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

  496. 1. Nope
    2. Nope
    I am a simple guy just a black suitcase
    My wife is making me enter because my luggage cost is extra on our last intl flight because it weighed so much we kept trying to take contents out to make the scale. So embarrassing
    I would love to do a review for you if I win

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

    2. I do not have different bags for different missions.

    Hope to win – need a new bag.

  498. 1. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No, same bag for all seasons..

    2. Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Depends on length of trip. Checked bag for longer trip or carry on for shorter trip or both.

  499. 1. I have the same bag for all seasons.

    2. I change my bag depending on the trip: garment bag for short trips; spinner for longer trips.

  500. 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? No

  501. 1. No bags for different seaons.

    2. Surely I have 2 bags for different missions. one for the island vacation and one for the urban vacation!

  502. Do you have different bags for different seasons?

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

  503. No.

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

  504. 1. Yes, I do have different bags for different seasons. In winter I need a larger duffel.
    2. I also have different bags for different missions. When I go to Europe for months at a time, I need a larger bag than ktraveling domestically.

  505. 1. No. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2. No. I use the same bag.

  506. 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!

  507. 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.

  508. 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

  509. I do not use different bags for seasons.

    I do not have different bags for personal vs bus travel

  510. Same bag for all seasons.
    Same bag for all travel purposes.

    As such, my carry-on is pretty embarrassingly beat up and I could use the new bag!

  511. 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.

  512. I don’t have a different bag for different seasons. I do use suitcase for business and backpack for vacation

  513. 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.

  514. 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?
    No, but thinking about it

  515. Same bag for different seasons AND different missions. I just use the same old green bag. It has served me faithfully —-

  516. Carry-on Briggs and Reilly when warm, and checked Samsonite Cosmolite when colder

    Up to 2 weeks Briggs and Reilly carry-on; over 2 weeks 27″ Samsonite Cosmolite

  517. 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.

  518. 1. A bag for all seasons.

    2. A bag for all occasions.

    Anything less would be uncivilized!

  519. 1. Well, that depends. If it’s pouring rain and I’m flying and I know that my bag will be sitting out in the rain, I’ll choose my bag accordingly. Apart from that, I don’t care.

    2. Yes, definitely. I use my sturdier bags for for long trips and flights with multiple connections and the others for shorter trips.

  520. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Yes. Work someti,SE for longer trips require larger bag.

  521. I don’t have a different bag for different seasons.
    I don’t have separate bags for different missions. I think a bag should work for all occasions.

  522. 1. No I do not. Like to make the most use of a good sturdy bag for as long as I can.

    2. No I do not so I dont forgot anything since I dont need to transfer any items.

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

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? — No, I haven’t traveled for work in years

  524. 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.

  525. 1. No. I don’ t have luggage by seasons. Although, in practice I do, because I only use my large bags when I travel for a long time over the summer

    2. No. My bags are always the same.

  526. 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.

  527. Nope, a good bag should last all seasons.

    Yes, my day to backpack differs from the one used while traveling.

  528. 1) No different bags for season.
    2) Yes different bags for different missions.

    I use either a carry on or checked bag depending on the length of the trip. Then, if it’s a leisure trip I’ll take my camera backpack and if it’s work I’ll take my laptop backpack.

  529. No I don’t change bags.
    No again.
    I use the same old and I mean really old luggage for any journey.

  530. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Used to when I worked. Not an issue nowadays 🙂

  531. 1. I have an additional ski bag for the winter and a regular bag for all other seasons
    2. I have one bag for all purposes – a similar sized carry-on spinner that accompanies my laptop backpack!

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

    I do not have different bags for work/leisure.

    Thank again for the contest

  533. I have three bags:

    1) a briefcase for 1-3 day trips
    2) a carry-on roller for slightly longer trips
    3) a suitcase for longer/diving trips with gear

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

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

    I don’t have different bags for work/leisure, however my travel for work is infrequent..

    Thanks!

  535. Thanks for the contest Gary!

    1. I do not use different bags depending on the season

    2. I do use a carry on when it’s business as it’s usually just me. But when vacationing, the wife and I share a checked bag

  536. I live in California – there are no different seasons here 🙂 But really, I don’t have different bags for different seasons.

    I do have different bags for vacation vs. business. I use a carry-on duffel bag that holds a lot for vacations and a roller for business.

  537. Do not different bags for different seasons. Yes, have different bags for vacation and work.

  538. 1. Same bags for all seasons.
    2. Different bags depending mainly on length of trip and how much I carry.

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

    I do occasionally use my Eagle Creek adventure pack in place of my Travel Pro carry-on when going on a backpacking trip. So yes I do sometimes use different bags for work/leisure, depending on the type of leisure.

  540. 1) Nope.

    2) Sort of. I have a really flimsy carry-on that I bought while living in the UK. It’s ultra-light, so I take it on leisure trips where I’m flying in Y on carriers that are really picky about carry-on weight. (A 7kg limit with a 2.5kg roller bag generally means you’re transporting a lot of air.) When flying carriers that don’t care so much or have higher limits, I have a sturdier bag. Those tend to be work trips.

  541. 1. Yes. I travel to east coast frequently, and during the winter my bags are a LOT heavier. So I have a bigger winter bag.

    2. No.

    I hope I win!

  542. 1. different seasons? Nope

    2. different missions? Nope

    I’m a big soft sided guy. I love duffels for travel in various sizes. BAD – Best American Duffel is my preference.

  543. 1. No bag for different seasons. There are no seasons in San Francisco! 2. I have bags for missions of different lengths: overnighter/day work bag, weekend bag, week-long trip bag.

  544. There are not enough seasons for all the bags I have, so the answer is “yes”I have different bags for different seasons.

    I love bags and have many. Most are totes that fit under the seat. So again, the answer is “yes” to question two as well.

  545. 1 – same bag all year round.

    2 – Different bags for work/vacation. Work bag is a small rollaboard. Vacation I have a large B&R case as most of my vacations are 10+days so need the extra space. Weekend break, I use a duffelbag.

  546. Do you have different bags for different seasons? NO
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? YES

  547. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, but I definitely have different bags for different trips. I have a combo backpack/rollaboard for shorter business trips, a soft Rick Steves bag for longer trips and vacations, and a gargantuan American Tourister suitcase for times when I need to bring massive amounts of stuff one direction or the other.

  548. No, I use the same type of bags regardless of season.
    No, I use the same type of bags for all missions, i.e. vacation and business.

    However, I do use bags of different sizes so that I can select a bag size for my length of trip and items needed. Thus, for long vacations, I would use a different bag from a 3 day business trip just as I would pack a smaller bag for a same length trip to a warm weather place vs. a cold weather place.

  549. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, or for different missions. I do sometimes switch up the sizes though.

  550. I use the same bag regardless of season or biz/personal travel. I never check bags.

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

    I do have different bags for different missions. My primary laptop bag nearly always comes along (currently a Tom Bihn Empire Builder, but previously a Trager Courier Laptop). I have a range of older Briggs and Riley Superlight rollers (21″ carry-on, 24″ medium and 26″ large) for more businesslike travel. A first-generation Patagonia Black Hole bag for big loads but keeping the weight under control. A 1998 Eagle Creek XL duffle for even more oversized loads.

  552. 1. Same bags, regardless of season
    2. Different bags for work and leisure, and different bags for different work trips too. For leisure trips, I use a small Roots overnight bag that I bought a few years ago in Canada; for business I either use a Swiss Gear laptop backpack, a Tumi classic carry-on or a TravelPro rollaboard depending on the length of my trip.

  553. 1. Do not have different bags for different seasons

    2. Only have one bag for a travel

  554. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, but I do have different bags for types of travel – I save the nicer bag for when me and the wife go somewhere special.

  555. Do not have different bags for different Seasons.
    Do not have different bags for different missions.
    Use a Rick Steves Roll aboard for all, but would like to try one of the new hard-sided spinners!

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

    I *do* have different bags for different purposes. My work carry-on is a small roller suitcase, and for vacation, I often go with just a backpack (I’ve gone two weeks in Central America and Southeast Asia respectively with just one schoolbag’s worth of things!).

  557. I use the same bag for all seasons

    Definitely have different bags for different missions: travelling solo vs travelling with my wife! Also work travel vs pleasure.

    I’ve never used a 4 wheel spinner so would love to try one!!

  558. I do have bags for different seasons. Expandable for cold weather!
    I do have bags for different missions. Small bags for MR’s & short trips, International compliant bags. A total of 23 from carry-ons to large spinners.
    No hard sides! Sure would like a Torq to go with my 4 other B&R’s.

  559. I use the same bag year round.

    I do have bags for different missions – an overnight trip will often be one fairly tiny duffel. Otherwise I use something similar to a Rick Steves backpack. But I’ve been wanting to switch to a wheelie to give it a shot.

  560. No seasonal difference unless it is winter and I’ve got my ski gear with me.

    Yes, often use a different bag for work compared to leisure but not always. It depends more on distance and length of stay. Work is usually short while leisure is more days away from home.

  561. ◾Do you have different bags for different seasons? NO.

    ◾Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? NO.

  562. Yikes I’m # 634!

    Different season…..NO
    Different reason……YES

    Do I win for the rhyme?

  563. 1. No, I use my Tumi bags in all seasons.

    2. Yes, I have different bags for different sorts of trips. Mostly they are: a) international-sized wheeled carry-on; b) weekend duffel; c) tri-fold suiter.

    Good luck to me!

  564. I use the same bag no matter the season.
    I don’t switch bags based on the purpose of my trip.

  565. Thanks for doing this
    I use the same bag for all seasons and will vary what I carry depending on the length of the business trip or where we go on holiday and how we get there

  566. I use one bag all year round.
    I also have one bag total for both work and pleasure.

    It is getting pretty beat up though.

  567. no to both questions. (unless you count different sized bags depending on how much i pack!)

  568. I use different size bags for different seasons due to clothing volume.
    I do use different bags for different missions (work/vacation/field trips/overnight trip) or different places (eg. more/less crime destinations or reliability of air carriers in getting my bags to/fro) or different mode of transportation.

  569. Not bags for different seasons,

    But yes, different bags for work travel and pleasure travel (something more traditional vs something more… unique)

  570. 1. Nope, one bag rules them all.
    2. Sometimes go a little lighter, so yes — mix it up for business and vacation.

  571. 1. Yes I use a hard shell in the winter, cloth at other times
    2. Yes, but dependent on the length of time I will be away

  572. No and no unfortunately. On the bright side, it keeps things nice and simple.

  573. 1) Bag stays the same with the seasons but what goes in it changes. I generally travel with my seemingly indestructible Mandarina Duck roll aboard and satchel. The roll aboard is nearly 10 years old at this point.

    2) I’ll sometimes drop the roll aboard if I’m checking a bag, more often for vacation. That said I’ve be burnt enough times with delayed bags that if the itinerary is in any way complex I’ll pack a couple of days in the roll aboard (plus anything valuable like a suit, if I’m taking one).

  574. 1. Yes, live in NYC and in bad weather a rolling suitcase gets gross – use a carried bag so it fits under umbrella
    2. No – just different bags for different weather

  575. 1.No–I do not use different bags for different seasons.
    2. No–I no longer travel for work.
    I sure do need a new bag! Mine is way too heavy.

  576. 1. No
    2. For work I use a rollaboard. For vacation it depends on the length for the trip.

  577. No and no. I use whatever bag is currently my favorite for everything, whether that’s work, vacation or “other.”

  578. 1. Same bags for every season
    2. Definitely different bags for different missions! The bags I use vary with the purpose of the trip (business vs. leisure) and duration.

  579. No and No.
    Can’t see why a bag would change with the season. Unless I was making a fashion statement and that would be a WHOLE new bundle of problems that would take more than a change of luggage to fix! I use a Briggs and Riley that I have had for 10+ years for both travel and leisure. Used the warranty once to have a repair and they were great. I pack as lightly as possible (see fashion problem above) so I find I need as much for a weekend as I do for a 3 week trip. As a result, I am the schlub you see wheeling the beat up but still stylish B&R through the airport in yet again, all black clothing.

  580. No, I do not use a different bag for different seasons. I do carry a carry on size roller board for work since trips are only a few days max. For vacations I usually require a larger suitcase.

  581. 1. No, I use the same bag for all seasons.
    2. And, I use the same bag for all travel missions, whether professional or vacation travel.
    Love the giveaway!

  582. No and No

    Briggs & Riley are like an Amex Card, never leave home without one.

    Mine looks as good today as when I purchased it.

  583. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I DO use different bags for work/leisure travel. I use a more durable bag for work as it will be tossed around every other week. I keep my “good” luggage for the occasional personal trip.
    Love the opportunity to try this brand!

  584. I do not have a bag for different seasons,
    I do not have very good reasons;

    I do not have a different bag for work and leisure,
    To do that might give me a seizure;

    I do not like green eggs and ham,
    I do not like them Sam I Am.

  585. I have one bag I use year-round.

    When I vacation, I tend to be a bit more adventurous than I am in my work travel, so my go-to bag is my internal frame Eureka backpack.

  586. I use the same bags year-round.

    I use the same style of bags for vacation and work, and mainly just choose the size to match the duration of my stay.

  587. 1. I dont have a bag for different seasons
    2. Kind of – I generally travel with a bigger bag that I check on leisure trips

  588. No. Same bags for all seasons

    I have one carry on sized bag used for anything under 10 days. I have one duffle bag I use for some internaltional trips

  589. No, I don’t change for the seasons.

    Yes, for Business I travel in a laptop bag, but for personal I use a hard-shelled roller.

  590. –I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    –I do have different bags for different missions — both business vs. leisure and, of course, for different types of trips within those categories (length, etc.).

    Thanks!

  591. 1. Yes I change bags based on seasons. I carry a larger bag in Winter
    2. I only travel for vacation since I am retired and vary the bag size by length of trip and season.

  592. 1. No

    2. I do have different sized/style bags, depending on how much and what I need to pack.

  593. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I use different bags depending on the trip length but I typically do not use a different bag for business trips and leisure.

  594. Hey Gary! Sign me up for this contest!

    1) no, I don’t have different bags for different seasons
    2) yeah, I have different bags for vacation and work. When I’m on vacation I usually have a large bag that I check, while when I travel for work, I have a carry on

  595. No and No. We just have one suitcase that gets used and abused in every season, no matter why we are flying.

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

    However, I do use different bags for different missions. I use a rather funky skull bag to attend writing conferences for example.

  597. Different bags for different seasons? No — do people really do this?

    Different bags for work/leisure? Main carry-on is the same rollaboard; persoanl item is different (man-purse vs. backpack).

  598. I do not have bags for different seasons. I do not have different bags for business vs leisure travel because I don’t travel for business. I do however have various bags for different types of leisure travel. For example one that I can fit my folding bicycle in.

  599. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    – Nope, I’m not that stylish!

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    – No again, I can use my current set as both

  600. I don’t have different luggage for different seasons. I do not travel for business so don’t have specific bag for that. Perhaps it’s time for a job change!

  601. 1. I do not have separate bags for different seasons
    2. I do not travel for business so no business bag

  602. I never even thought about different carry-ons for different seasons. I might check luggage for winter if I was skiing, but then I might do that if I were scuba diving. But for carry-on, it never occurred to me.

    Not really though for work I mostly just use a carry-on that will fit a few shirts and a jacket.

  603. I don’t have different bags for different seasons but I do have different bags for travel and business. Travel for business usually only requires a carry-on and travel for vacations usually requires a larger, check-able piece as my vacations are (thankfully) longer than business trips.

  604. 1. Not for different seasons necessarily, but bulkier clothes means choosing bigger bags in the winter.

    2. My bags are a beat up old REI backpack that can be used alone for a weekend trip, and a small rolling duffle bag that can fit anything. I just got a Briggs & Riley CX rollaboard, which will replace the duffle bag on nearly every trip.

  605. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.

    2. I do have different bags for different missions: nice rollaboard for week-plus-long trips; simple duffle for weekend leisure and jumbo check-in bag for longer trips (several months for work).

  606. No different bags for seasons. No different bag for work or leisure.

  607. I don’t seasonal bags.

    I do have different bags for different types of travel – car, plane, walking, etc.

  608. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I do not have different bags for vacations vs. business travel.

  609. Use lighter, shoulder bags during the summer (when fewer clothes are needed) and heavier bags during the winter

    Different bags for camera equipment on vacations vs. none on business travel

  610. 1. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No, I use one carry on and one to-check bag (both fairly cheap, bought at online discount sites)

    2. Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Again, no, except that most business trips entail just the carry-on while vacations are typically with checked larger bag.

    Thanks and I hope I win!

  611. 1) No bags for different seasons

    2) No bags for different missions either. Although I’ve got several size carry-on’s to choose from depending on the length of stay, and several size large bags to check if needed!

  612. I use the same bags all year round, no matter the season and the same bags get used for both work and vacation. Something that should probably change!

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

    My work bag tends to be a little smaller than vacation bag – generally due to length of trip (vacations are longer)

  614. I do not carry different luggage for different seasons.

    I do have different bags depending on the nature of my travel and the destination.

  615. 1. No, I pretty much use the same bag regardless of season.

    2. Depending on the length of my trip and whether I’m bringing items/gifts to my destination, I’ll alternate between a small carry on bag and a large bag that I’ll check.

  616. I’m monogamous when it comes to bags: one bag, no matter the season, no matter the travel reason. However, I’m a recent widower, with my much-traveled Samsonite rollerboard breaking a wheel. So I’m looking for new love. Hoping for a chance to romance the Briggs & Riley TORQ.

  617. I don’t have a bag for different seasons – just one set. I do have an additional work bag to take when on a business trip.

  618. It’s not luggage, but I use a different handbag for winter versus summer.

    I do try to use more professional looking bags when I’m travelling for business, but I don’t do it very often, so I don’t have many professional carry-on bags. This would help!

  619. 1. No, I have one bag and have been using it for 10 years. It’s like a close friend.
    2. No, see above.

    Of course, all good things eventually come to an end, so it would be great to have this B&R to start working into the rotation!

  620. I don’t change up my bags with the seasons.

    I do not travel for work. I usually take a standard black rolling bag for most weekend travel. However, on trips where I must check a bag (usually hiking or SCUBA related), I take a small hiking daypack instead.

  621. I do not have different bags for different seasons. That being said, I am more likely to use my slightly larger bag in the winter to handle the extra bulk of clothes.

    I do have different bags for work and personal travel, but sometimes i blur the line and switch them up.

  622. 1. No, I usually travel to a different season so I need a bag for all seasons.
    2. Yes, I travel with my family for personal trips vs. alone for business trips.

  623. I use the same bag for all seasons. Why not? It’s a Briggs & Riley.

    If I’m going away for a romantic weekend I use a bag in a brighter or a softer color, cos I’m not “all business”. This TorQ looks just the thing for that…. I’d have it in the blue.

  624. I don’t have different bags for different seasons (I wish, haha).

    I do use a different bag for different missions though. My Deuter Traverse carry-on is more friendly to the business clothes/shoes than the leather Fossil weekender bag I use for family/leisure trips.

  625. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons
    2. I do have different bags depending on the purpose of my trips.
    a. Vacation usually means sharing a checked bag with my wife…separate carry-ons
    b. Business trip will normally mean a carry-on and a computer bag
    c. International travel (business/personal) that are normally associated with mission work…I take many bags…some duffel bags. In order to carry support materials along. The duffel bags can carry items for orphanages, etc. and then be stuffed into one empty checked bag for the trip home.

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

    I only have 1 bag so it has to serve me for all missions.

  627. I currently do not have different bags for different seasons.
    I do use different bags for different missions.

  628. I don’t have different bags for different seasons (but I would not use a soft case when traveling to a rainy country).

    Like most of others, yes I have bags for different missions, but it seems I use my business travel bags on personal trips as well sometimes.

  629. I do not have different seasonal bags. In fact, I wasn’t aware that this was a thing. Do I want my clothes to be comfortable and at the right temperature?

    I do not have different luggage for personal or work. Though, I’ll admit that I bring a checked bag for personal a lot more than for work.

  630. I don’t have different bags for different seasons and I don’t travel for work so I use the same bags….might be different sizes depending on length of trip though.

  631. I use the same bag for all seasons.

    As far as mission, since I am a USAF pilot, you could definitely say I have different bags for different missions. I have an overnight bag for short missions and big, tan colored, rolling bags for deployments. If ya’ll think commercial baggage handlers are bad, USAF loadmasters and boom operators are the worse!

  632. No and no, one bag usually works for everything. Although sometimes leisure demands something else.

  633. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, but I do have different bags for business and pleasure. More difficult to roll into a business meeting with a bright red suitcase. But the red definitely helps for finding your bag at baggage pickup!

  634. No, don’t have different bags for different season.

    Yes, will usually use a nicer carry-on for work travel instead of Patagonia bag.

  635. I have the same travel bags for all seasons. I vary it depending only on how much I’m going to bring with me aka the length of the trip.

    For work I usually bring a smaller bag, even a small duffle, and for longer vacations I have a shoulder bag and a suitcase, and I pick from those depending on how much I’m bringing.

    It depends on the trip, the right bag for the right job!

  636. #1 I do not have different backs for different seasons

    #2 I do have different bags for business and pleasure.

    Thanks for doing this contest!

  637. I do not have different bags for different seasons, but I do use different bags for business and leisure travel. It’s mostly a matter of formality.

  638. 1. No, same bag for all seasons
    2. No, only one mission in life and business travel is not one of them …yet.

  639. Do you have different bags for different seasons?

    Nope – not that anal yet!

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

    No since almost all of my trips are purely pleasure

  640. Same bag. I have an all season bag.
    Different bag based on length of stay or how much I need to carry. But not based on vaca/work.

  641. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

    1) For the most part I use the same bags across all seasons. The exception would be luggage that is function specific (e.g. skiing in winter).
    2) I have certain bags I use for each but it’s more dependent on the size of the bag than mission. My personal trips are longer than business so I use a larger bag for vacations.

  642. Love B&R, and I’ve been waiting for them to do a hard-sided one! I pretty much use the same bag, regardless of season and regardless of work/personal travel. (More complex itineraries may change that, but if I have to check, I check the same larger bag, again regardless.

  643. Yes and yes. I have a lot of luggage because I travel a lot, to very different places and for very different purposes. I have smaller bags for summer/hot climate travel, because the clothes I take on those trips require less space. I also have bags that are better for carrying work clothes (e.g., semi-rigid luggage with sections to protect hanging clothes) and bags that are better for casual/hiking clothes (e.g., duffles). The one thing I DON’T have is a hard-sided spinner bag. I would love to try one.

  644. We use the same couple of bags for almost all trips, even overnighters – then we only use one. On an overnight, even though the back is large we put both our stuff into it along with our pillow.

    We just recently started buying Briggs & Riley (have one) and would love to have a spinner!

  645. My business trips are typically short so I use a carry-on size luggage vs. leisure trips are typically over a week so I’ll use a much larger suitcase. Same bags every season though.

  646. Gary, thanks for the offer – i would love to win the bag. I currently use a Tumi Tech

  647. I do not intentionally vary bags by season; however,I tend to use a smaller suitcase (20 in) in the summer months. Experience tells me I will pack to capacity so I try to stick to the smaller bags. Esp w/all the RJs.

    I totally use different bags for for my 110k miles/yr with an even split of vacation and business, I have my “serious” rollabooard for potential client interface and then a colored hardcase for personal travel.

    Just coveted a B&R Torq last week at CMH. I like that B&R figured out that travelers need a place for a magazine, newspaper, etc. in a hardcase. And the other traveler, while hanging on tight to his bag as I eyed it, raved about the lifetime warranty.

  648. I have one pathetic old bag I use for everything – all seasons, and all travel (not that i do any business travel…) I was actually looking at new luggage just yesterday, and dreaming of an upgrade.

  649. 1. No
    2. Have two different bags I use depending on the length of the trip but do not vary based on business or leisure

  650. 1 – Not really for different seasons
    2 – Definitely for different reasons! I have a stack of luggage for different travel – rollaboard with pc pocket, rollaboard for small trips, fancy duffel bag for overnight trips on region jets that fits in the small overheads, and a big bag to check when going on long trips.

  651. I do not have a different bag for different seasons.

    I also do not have a different bag for work and pleasure.

    I have a couple of Briggs & Rileys, so they work in both roles.

  652. I use the same bags for Biz and Leisure. My luggage choice is based on the length of the trip, the smaller the better on short trips. I do like the look of a hardside, always nice to be able to check when needed and keep the contents protected.

  653. 1. No bags for different seasons, do my clothes get cold in the winter?
    2. I have 1 carry on for short trips and 1 larger bag for longer trips regardless of whether it is for business or pleasure.

  654. I use the same bag for all seasons, good luggage can handle all climates.

    For business I use my conservative Tumi luggage, for pleasure I have a cool Turkish carpet bag that I love. Would definitely love to replace them with this!

  655. 1.Same bags for all seasons.

    2.I do have different bags for different occasions, I have a short vacation one, a large camping backpack for longer travels, and a nicer suitcase for business travel

  656. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons. I am a simple man.

    2. For travels? Yes, I have a big backpack for longer trips and a small backpack for shorter trips. For real short trips I have a messenger bag.

  657. 1. same bag for all seasons!
    2. smaller carry-on for shorter/business trips and bigger check-in bag for longer vacations.

  658. 1. Don’t have a different bag for different seasons.

    2. One bag for both business/leisure. but if i win, this will surely change!

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

    2) I DO have different bags for different missions. A B&R rolling suiter for short sales-type trips where I need a suit or two, and a wide body carry-on for general travel.

  660. 1. Same bag all year round.

    2. Don’t travel for work anymore so it’s the same bag for all trips.

  661. 1. I have a variety of bags but use them according to need more than the season I’m traveling in.
    2. I choose the bag according to the length of the trip more than the mission.

  662. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, but …

    I do have different bags for work versus leisure: when I’m flying for work, I normally have nice clothes that I want to protect in a rollaboard or a garment bag. When I’m flying for fun, I’m usually carrying a duffle packed with outdoors gear.

  663. I use the same bag for all seasons.

    Leisure I tend to use my big backpack where business I use a roll aboard.

  664. 1. Yes! My summer clothes are less bulky so I can use a smaller bag.
    2. For work trips, I need a garment bag. For vacation, as many beach clothes as I can cram into my suitcase!

  665. I use same luggage for work and leisure, and do not vary it by season. I find my packing needs don’t vary much if at all on either dimension… but having multiple bags (which I did in the past) certainly does clutter up my house, since for most of us the most common state of a piece of luggage is taking up space in a closet somewhere.

  666. 1. I don’t have seasonally-changing bags (but the shoes in them…that’s a whole different kettle of fish!) as I have had my good old standby Hartmann for what seems like a lifetime.

    2. But I do change bags for different missions…work is almost always the above referenced Hartmann carry-on even though its old two-wheeled technology sometimes means I’m dragging it rather than rolling it. Leisure ranges from a duffel to the “sure-to-be-spotted-as-a-tourist” oversized behemoth that I swear I’ll never carry again, and then do.

  667. 1. No.
    2. I try to travel as light as possible! I only use my large trolley on transcontinental, long-term trips!

    Thanks

  668. Do you have different bags for different seasons? – Not for seasons. California doesn’t have seasons!

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? I have an Ogio backpack for personal trips(I pack light) and a roller for business.

  669. I use the same bags no matter what season it is, unless there is a good chance of snow being on the ground. Then I try to pack light and avoid a roller bag.

    I do bring different bags depending on the stay. For a typical week trip it is a “typical” carry on and my main stay SWISS backpack to hold all the important items. On shorter day and overnight trips I bring a large laptop-bag that can hold my clothes and toiletries.

  670. 1. I don’t have bags for different seasons.

    2. I use the same bag for travel/work.

  671. 1. Same bags all season
    2. Different bags for different missions and I have totally worn out my work carry on. It won’t zip closed without several attempts.

  672. 1) Same bag for different seasons (unless you count my ski bag).

    2) Same bag for work and for leisure. But different bags for different trip lengths.

  673. Do you have different bags for different seasons? Nope!

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? I ususally use a small roller for personal and a larger one for business trips.

  674. 1- Yes, depending on destination.
    2- I have several types to choose from depending on mission at hand.

  675. 1. I use the same bags for all of the seasons.
    2. I have certain bags for work related trips since I need to have space for technology needs and suits, and other bags which are perfect for sports equipment and casual clothes.
    Most of my bags are Briggs and Riley, since they are well engineered and they always make repairs for damage. Some of my bags have traveled tens of thousands of miles and continue to work well, but are showing their age. It will be nice to have a new one to add to the collection.

  676. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, but I definitely keep a “work” bag and a “personal” bag, each pre-filled with certain accoutrements.

  677. I must say, I have been fascinated with carry on bags that provide lifetime warranty or even warranty that lasts 10 to 15 years. I have had a couple of these bags, but they have not really survived that period of time of warranty, but I have also not tried to enforce the warranty so far. Coming to the questions,

    1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I would probably check in an extra bag, when I am traveling with the family versus me traveling alone. Usually, there is no difference in my own bag between travel for work or leisure.

  678. I don’t necessarily have different bags for different seasons, but I do have different bags for different missions! Probably too many! I have work bags, vacation bags, backpacking/hiking bags, triathlon/sports-specific bags, weekender bags.

  679. I only have different bags for different seasons because winter clothing is so much bulkier and takes up more space than summer clothing, so I can use a smaller bag when I pack sandals instead of boots.

    I have a garment bag for work that I rarely use for leisure travel.

  680. 1. No, 2. No. I found one bag I like and I use it for everything. Too picky to find two winners!

  681. 1. Seasons do not matter.

    2. I do use different bags depending on the length of the trip, but not for business/leisure.

  682. I have one bag for all seasons.

    I don’t get to travel for work; I only have the one bag for any travel!

    I’d love another bag – pick me!

  683. No seasonal bags for me. But I do have a separate bag that I carry for my items if I need to do work on a trip. Often reference materials.

  684. I do not use seasonal travel bags. I do have my backpack for the laptop when I need to work. That bag probably needs an upgrade – bit unprofessional.

  685. While my business travel typically, whatever the season, with a rollaboard, I will tend to use a larger one (still carry-on size) in winter so I can stow my coat in it (when going through security or when arriving in a warmer climate). In the warmer months, the smaller rollaboard is most often used.

    When going on vacation, usually it means checking a bag–flying WN or an airline where status means no bag fees. In contrast, I try to keep it to carry-on size when traveling for work.

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

    I do not have different bags for work/leisure. What bag I use depends on how long I am gone for.

  687. 1 bag for all seasons. Same bag for all reasons – my 15 year old B&R. Warranty repairs on wheels and base but the bag is still solid.

  688. I have a 22″ roller bag that my dad gave me 30 years ago that I am still using for all air travel any time of year. I have replaced one wheel with a scooter wheel. Hey, it works…

    I consider all my travel as vacation travel even if I am doing some business, and I use the same bag. It would be fun to try out a new bag…

  689. 1) No, I have one all-season bag
    2) No, my bag choice is inspired by length of trip, not mission.

  690. 1. Yes, I I have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I have different bags depending on the lenght of stay, if just 1 night I will by michael kors duffle, if more than 1 night I will bring my LLbean rollar board.

  691. No, I wish I had more than one bag for the seasons. Different missions, just depends on the mission…so yes!

  692. I use a good bag for business, a beat up bag for leisure and a checked bag if I am going somewhere really cold and need my bulky cold weather gear.

    But none of my bags is as good as the one you are giving away…

  693. I use the same bags for all seasons but I have a few bags for different types and lengths of trips.

  694. 1. No. Use same bag regardless of the season
    2. Yes, I change bags depending on length of trip, and packing needs. As I can’t always carry-on

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

    I do have different bags for work travel and leisure travel. My work bags are much smaller, and I overstuff them as necessary for the length of the trip.

  696. No I don’t have a different bag for different seasons.

    I do have a different bag for different trips. If its a quick trip, and its personal ill carry on in a smaller bag. If its for work or a longer trip I will bring out the bigger stuff.

    Thanks for doing this!

  697. 1. Same bag for all seasons.
    2. Same bag for work and travel.
    Looking for a rollaboard for our family trip this summer for my son, so I hope I win.

  698. I never thought of having different bags for different seasons.

    I do have different bags for different activities. For business trips where I’m trying to keep dressier clothes nice, I use a rollaboard or a garment bag. For vacations, I tend to stuff a bunch of outdoors gear into a duffle.

  699. I use the same bag regardless of the season but swap it out if I need to carry more than a simple vacation’s worth. Since I work from home, no need for a suitcase to get me to my home office! I do vary my purse and carryon often, though, depending on the destination and time I’ll be traveling. Thanks – Hope I win!

  700. 1. same bag for all seasons — but i line my bag with heavy-duty plastic if it’s going to be wet 🙂

    2. i still use my hiking backpacks for everything (100k miles/yr), though i’m more and more convinced that a rolling bag would be better than my backpack most of the time.

  701. 1. Same bags for all seasons.
    2. Different bags depending mainly on length of trip and how much I carry.

  702. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    – Not really, I do try to take smaller/lighter bags for worse weather, but otherwise it’s all the same.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    – Just the lighter the better

  703. 1) No. I’m not that stylish.
    2) Yes. One for work, is a standard rollaboard. And a great osprey duffel/backpack that I use for my adventures.

  704. I don’t have different bags for different seasons for work but I bring larger bags during winter months for vacation.

    For different missions, I have a dedicated work bag that is carry on but my vacation bags are larger and checked in and come in various sizes.

  705. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No, I don’t pack different bags depending on the season.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Yes, I have 1 carry on and 1 check in, I generally limit work travel to the carry on and often find myself taking the check in for vacation (significant other always overpacks!)

  706. Different seasons – no.
    Different missions – yes. Depends on reason for trip, size of plane – those small commuter jets require just the right carry on, souvenir potential.

  707. ◾Do you have different bags for different seasons? No.

    ◾Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Not really. Large bags for long trips and small bags for short trips. Doesn’t matter if the trip is work or leisure.

  708. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I have two bags I usually travel with, a traditional rollaboard, and a backpacky type duffel for more rugged adventures.

  709. I don’t have a separate bag for different seasons.

    I do have different luggage combinations for short and long trips, from overnights to a month away.

  710. 1. Nope, same bags every season
    2. Nope, I have a 2 bag system w/ an Osprey Mini Flapjill and a Tom Binh Aeronaut. Same bags for a weekend as for a month.

  711. Q1: I do not use different bags based on the season.

    Q2: I typically 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.

  712. ◾Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No.

    ◾Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Not really. My bag varies by length of trip, which tends to correlate to purpose sometimes.

  713. Do you have different bags for different seasons?

    no

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

    will do so with these new bags

  714. 1. No.

    2. I don’t work, but my bags do change depending on flying vs. driving and length of vacation.

  715. no separate bags

    I try to travel with a carryon, but that’s impossible with the family.

  716. 1. I do not have separate bags for seasons

    2. I use one large suitcase for the family to limit any fees and space issues.

  717. 1.) No
    2.) Yes. For extended vacations where we will be moving between different cities frequently, I use an Osprey Atmos 50L pack. For trips of 2 days or less, I use a Patagonia 45L duffle. For other situations, I use a standard carry-on suitcase (that has recently broken, by the way!). For ski trips, I have a giant suitcase (that’s hard to keep under 50 lbs!).

  718. I have some older travelpro luggage and it is for all seasons and all reasons for travel be it fun or work. So, the answers are no and no. Also, these odds look better than winning the lotto. Good luck to all!!

  719. 1. No differentiation by season.

    2. I usually use a Boyt tri-fold garment bag for business trips vs. whatever works for leisure.

  720. 1. It’s usually a different season when I get off the plane, so no.

    2. For business there’s the great pleasure of just having my one manageable suit carrier.

    Vacations mean traveling with kids, so that’s a whole other story and a messier, bigger, stuffed vault of a bag.

  721. get it to me by june 14th and i can use it on honeymoon 🙂

    no seasonal bag, and no business bag.

  722. I don’t have different bags for different seasons but there are certain bags I absolutely will not travel with if it’s a work trip so I don’t look unprofessional.

  723. 1. No, my bags are for all seasons.
    2. Yes, vacations are family affairs so we use bigger bags and check them. Biz travel is me, minimalist and carry on!

  724. 1. No.
    2. I use different type of bag when I go on vacation. Depending on my needs.

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

    I do have different bags for different missions – leisure bags are more splashy while work ones are professional and functional.

  726. I bought 3 matching bags, and take them on all trips, business and leisure, all 4 seasons. I love them but I’m yearning for new luggage – and more travel!

  727. 1. No, same bags for all seasons.

    2. No, same bags work or vacation travel, with only variations due to length of the trips.

  728. 1. No, Same bag for all seasons
    2. Yes, When on vacation I’m generally not in any hurry and prefer checking my bag so I have less to haul around the airport.

  729. 1. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    Unfortunately, I do not.

    2. Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    No, I am one bag man.

  730. 1. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No, not specifically. I use tote bags/beach bags in summer obviously, and a more thick bag in winter if that counts.

    2. Do you have different bags for different missions- such as vacation travel and work?
    Yes, I have laptop bags specific to business vs. vacation.

  731. 1. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    I do. Winter/ski season often necessitates traveling with more durable (and insulated) bags than I need for summer/beach environs.

    2. Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    I do, as noted above.

    (P.S.: It’s really nice of you to do this sort of thing. Thanks.)

  732. 1. Yes, if you count that I have a ski boot bag and a hard-shell ski case (winter) but apart from that, no.

    2. Yes, I use a camping backpack for some trips (fun, rural) and a rollaboard for others (urban, business)

  733. 1. No, I use the same bag for all seasons, because I only have one.

    2. Yes, I do have a backpack for traveling to Europe when there will be a lot of transport and walking involved. And I have my usual vacation bag.

  734. 1) No

    2) Not really. I have a large bag used exclusively for longer leisure trips, but for most trips—business or pleasure—I use the same 22″ rollaboard.

  735. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, except that I have a larger bag and a smaller carryon bag and if I can’t fit my winter boots and down jacket in the small one or wear them on the plane I’ll bring the larger bag!
    2. My “work trips” only involve going to conferences, so I don’t need a business style bag for those, so I just have one. I will bring a nicer shoulder bag on “work trips” though.

  736. 1. Yes. I use a smaller case in the summer months, and a larger one for the rest of year (more bulky coats, boots etc), although my bigger case was “terminated” by baggage handlers last trip.
    2. Yes. I have a smaller and better-looking case for work trips (3-4 days) and then a big older case for vacations which tend to be 7-10 days and include lots of bashing by the bag handlers.

  737. ◾Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No

    ◾Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Not really, though I do have a travel backpack for any travel where that works easier.
    And use carry on bag for shorter trips and check-in usually on international.

  738. Same bag for all seasons. I do sometimes change up my backpack for a large purse.

    I just pack different for my mission

  739. Not a different bag for different seasons, but different bags for different places: water oriented vs celebrations for example.

    Other than the above, I am retired so no business trips. Bigger bags for longer trips.

    Thanks,
    Gail

  740. Same bag for every season.

    Typically I use the same bag for business and leisure both involve packing light and smart.

  741. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No, I’ve never had a reason for this. Same bag(s) regardless of season.

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Again no. Same bag(s) for all missions.

  742. No bags for different seasons but I do change the bag when on vacation versus business trips

  743. I’ve got one Travelpro roller bag that I use for every season, every purpose, these days. I don’t have enough space to store multiple pieces of luggage when not in use.

  744. 1. Different bags for different seasons: No. It depends more on where I’m traveling, for how long, and where I’m staying.

    2. Different bags for different missions: Not usually.

    Was just forced, through a family luggage intervention, to discard my Travel Pro. After many years it became unusable. I’m in a luggage drought so Briggs and Riley would be perfect!

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

  745. 1. No
    2. I use a different bag for work and travel, mostly because work is shorter trips so I tend to use a backpack. For Travel I break out my larger carry-on and suitcase for 2-3 week vacations.

  746. 1. No difference in bags for seasons.

    2. No difference in bags for missions.

    Often use a one bag system and travel as light as possible but luggage is getting old, so would like an upgrade.

  747. No, I don’t have different bags for different seasons.

    Yes, I do use different bags for work and leisure, also depending on the length of travel.

  748. No different for the season, except to say I keep it small, hopefully carryon.

    No, same bags for work and leisure. I have a rollaboard and a shoulder bag, which has gotten me around the world, off on a safari for two weeks, and even to two different climates.

    I’ve learned that the freedom from visiting the luggage carousel makes for tolerable biz trips and wonderful leisure trips.

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

    I do have different bags for different reasons.

  750. ■Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    no.
    ■Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    yes.

  751. 1) No. Not enough place in my apartment to store seasonal luggage.
    2) Yes. I use a carry on for work and bigger bags for vacation (all Briggs and Riley, actually).

  752. 1. Larger bag for cool/cold weather destinations, for bulkier clothing, and for lengthier vacations. Smaller bag for warm weather destinations and for weekend jaunts or overnights.

    2. I don’t travel for work, so I guess the answer is, no.

  753. Hope this is not too early to post again – off to sleep early tonight!

    1. Use the same bags for all seasons.

    2. Use the same bag for all events.

  754. I have different bags for different times of the year, but often use the same bag for business and travel

  755. I have the same bag I use all the time, whether its winter or summer, work or pleasure. That’s why I need a new bag!

  756. 1. Use the same bag for all seasons
    2. Use the same bag for business or leisure travel

  757. 1. I use the same bag for all seasons
    2. I use the same bag for all types of travel, but will use a larger bag for travel of 7 days or more.

  758. 1. I use a bigger bag in winter than during the rest of the year.
    2. I use the same type of bag for business or leisure travel.

  759. I have a large bag and a medium size bag, for any season and for any mission. Gosh, it would be nice to have a choice, though 🙂

  760. I use different bags during different seasons

    I have different bags for different types of travel (i.e., one bag for vacation, one for business)

  761. Well is it too late? My poor, poor beat up old Samsonite luggage desperately needs to be replaced Gary. too late?

  762. I use different bags for different seasons

    I use different bags for holiday and business trips

  763. 1. Same bag for all seasons,
    2. but I do have a small bag for overnight trips and a bigger (albeit still a carry-on) for multiple nights.
    This would be awesome.
    Thanks Gary!

  764. No, I don’t have different bags for different seasons.

    Yes, I have different bags for different missions.

  765. 1. No, I use the same bags for all seasons
    2. No, I use the same bags for all types of trips

  766. I use different bags for different seasons, for vacations vs business and depending on the length of the trip.

  767. Do you have different bags for different seasons? No
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Yes

  768. No, I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    No, I do not have different bags for vacation and work.

  769. 1. No, I use the same bag for all seasons.
    2. I sometimes take a hiking backpack instead of suitcase for certain trips.

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

    However, the bag for vacation is significantly larger than the one for work. 🙂

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

    I DO have different bags for travel/work. Both my roll aboard and the type of backpack I use are different.

  772. Don’t have a different bag for different seasons.

    Have different bags for different trips.

  773. I don’t have different bags depending on the season. I do have different bags depending on work or leisure.

  774. I don’t necessarily have different bags for different seasons. For me, it’s a matter of whether I need a small carry-on versus something larger that needs to be checked based upon length of stay. Of course, heading to a colder climate during the winter months may necessitate a checked bag for thicker sweaters and coats.

    I do have different bags however when it come to personal travel versus work. Suits and dress shirts require a different type of baggage versus a purely leisure vacation. Plus, I may have to bring an extra bag from work with my “work essentials” as well.

  775. No seasonal difference unless it is winter and I’ve got my ski gear with me.

    Yes, often use a different bag for work compared to leisure but not always. It depends more on distance and length of stay. Work is usually short while leisure is more days away from home.

  776. No and yes.

    I do not switch carryons depending on the season but I do switch depending on whether it is for work or leisure. I go with my nicer bag on work-related trips.

  777. 1. No I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. No I use the same bag all the time, for all trips.

  778. 1) Nope, one bag for all seasons.
    2) Yes, sometimes I’ll take a larger bag on vacations.

  779. 1. Nope.
    2. I always take a bigger bag when visiting family because I know it’ll come back full! Otherwise a small one usually does the trick.

  780. 1) One bag for all seasons, but
    2) different bag for work, as I usually travel just overnight for work, but longer for vacation.

  781. Seasonal luggage? Nope.

    Luggage for work or leisure? Nope, but Ido carry a different bag to bring along my laptop fr work

  782. 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!!!

  783. Seasonally, there is really no difference in what I pack and the bags I pack them in.

    Traveling for longer trips requires, sometimes, larger bags to hold more stuff. We actually try to work a laundry session in the middle of longer trips. We can cut down on what we need to bring and work the laundry so it doesn’t really take anything away from the trip.

  784. 1. Same bag (Briggs & Riley!) for all seasons.
    2. Generally same bag for work and leisure, but often have to supplement the B&R for leisure with an awesome Marimekko set (strictly carry on) I got a million years ago at Anthropologie (and now wish I’d bought ten sets).

  785. Different bags for different seasons – no. Although colder climates might require I take and check the bigger bag rather than the medium. I don’t really travel for business, so no, I scheme only for length of the trip and the climates involved.

  786. 1. No, but I’d prefer a hardshell for the rainy time of the year;

    2. Yes, larger for vacation and carry-on for biz…….

  787. No and No! Just different bags depending on length of trip and clothing required.

  788. 1. Nope, my bags endure the four seasons we’re fortunate enough to get here in NYC.

    2. Yes, I have a smaller carry-on I mostly use for domestic travel and a large suitcase for international travel because I’m usually carrying gifts for family abroad. That bag is long overdue to be replaced!

  789. 1. No, I do not have different bags for different seasons; I differentiate around trip purpose/duration

    2. So far smaller backpack plus suit bag has been go to for the very sporadic business travel. Will soon switch to suitcase for business, and keep the backpacks for personal

    Thanks,

    Wouter

  790. I use a small duffel bag and a messenger bag – all seasons and all missions. I’ve done 10 days in Norway in winter (with camera gear) with this combo. They’re light enough for me to stay under the LH 8 kg limit

  791. Do you have different bags for different seasons?

    No

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?

    Yes, definitely. I generally have a small carry on only bag for work, but I normally travel with a larger check-in bag for leisure

  792. Do you have different bags for different seasons? Yes.. for winter I have a larger suitcase to check-in when I need to take bulky cold weather clothes. For summer I carry-on a Rimowa.
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Yes… I have a suiter for work… and don’t need to travel with a suit for leisure 🙂

  793. I use the same carryon suitcase the whole year but I have a different carryon bag for work travel as it has better suit packing situation just less room

  794. Given Delta’s announcement about MQM earning, I now have two answers:

    1. I have two bags: For the season when Delta is destroying my bag and another for the season while my primary bag is being repaired.

    2. Nope. But both of my bags will be flying exclusively American in two weeks. Bye Delta!

  795. 1. I use the same bag for all seasons
    2. I use the same bag for all travels but have been thinking about adding a new bag for only business travel

    I have different bags for long and short trips, regardless of whether it is for work or travel.

  802. I use the same bags, no matter where I’m traveling and no matter why I’m traveling. I do occasionally switch the sizes, though, depending on how long I’m traveling for.

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

    I *do* have different bags for different purposes. My work carry-on is a small roller suitcase, and for vacation, I often go with just a backpack (I’ve gone two weeks in Central America and Southeast Asia respectively with just one schoolbag’s worth of things!).

  804. Same bag for different seasons AND different missions. I just use the same old green bag. It has served me faithfully —-

  805. 1. No
    2. Yes, my Samsonite (which is more professional looking) is reserved for business trips. Hopefully the Briggs & Riley TORQ bag could replace it 🙂

  806. no to both questions. (unless you count different sized bags depending on how much i pack…)

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

    I am a 95% leisure traveller (other than the odd conference) and a 100% carryon-only traveller, so don’t have different “missions”, although i do have a couple different bags depending on how much I need to pack.

  808. I do not have a different bag for different seasons.

    I do not have a different bad for different seasons. I like to travel light whether for pleasure or “Indiana Jones” adventure.Works well for me!

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

    I don’t have different bags for work/leisure, however my travel for work is infrequent..

    Thanks!

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

    Please pick me…

  818. 1. No, I don’t have different bags for each season.
    2. I do have different bags for short vs. long trips. I also have a lightweight paksafe bag that doubles as a purse. It holds my umbrella and waterbottle nicely.

  819. I use the same bags for every travel opportunity outside of my business trips and I usually use my Samsonite spinner bag until the handle broke. Now, I use an off brand that I purchased here in Saudi but it gets the job done.

  820. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, but I definitely have different bags for different trips. I have a combo rollaboard/backpack for shorter business trips, a Rick Steves soft bag for longer trips and vacations, and a massive American Tourister suitcase for times when I need to bring a bunch of stuff one direction or the other.

  821. I do not use a different bag based upon different seasons.

    I sometimes use a different bag for personal travel, one that expands and can hold more luggage. My business travel is usually one or two nights, so do not need the expansion.

  822. 1, nope
    2. Only travel for pleasure or family obligations, so I use the same bag for everything

  823. I don’t have different bags for different seasons, but I do have different bags for business and pleasure. More difficult to roll into a business meeting with a bright red suitcase.

  825. ■Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    – No. We have the same bag regardless of seasons.

    – Yes. But depends on how long and location for the vacation / work travel.

  826. I do not have different bags for the seasons.
    I do not have different bags for work and leisure – One good sturdy bag is all I ever use.

    solo european train travel.
    2. same roller carry on.

  828. 1. No, I don’t have different bag for different seasons
    2. No, I don’t have different bags for different missions

    2. Yes, will use specific bag for work vs play.

  831. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I don’t have different bags for vacations vs. business travel.

  832. Don’t use different bags for the season. Yes I do have different work and vacation luggage. Usually always check on vacation and never check for work trips.

  833. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2. Unfortunately, I don’t have different bags for vacation versus business.

  834. Do you have different bags for different seasons? – nope.
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? nope

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

    I don’t have different bags for work/leisure.

    Length of trip and whether its with kids or without determines the type of the bag.

  836. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons. That just sounds silly.

    2. I do have different bags for different “missions”. Even multiple variations of each (such as casual business vs. formal business), which now that I think about it, might be stranger than different bags for different seasons.

  837. I do use different bags for different reason. Business travel is always a carry-on garment bag. Leisure travel could be a number of different bags

    Different bags for different lengths of time and different types of travel.

  838. 1. I don’t change up my bags with the seasons.

    2. I do not travel for work. I usually take a standard black rolling bag for most weekend travel. However, on trips where I must check a bag (usually hiking or SCUBA related), I take a small hiking daypack instead.

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

    I try to have different bags for work/leisure, I usually use a better bag when traveling with coworkers/boss.

  840. 1. Typically same bag for all seasons, but might upsize for longer winter trips to accommodate heavier clothing.
    2. Same bag for business or personal travel.

  841. No, I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    No, I don’t have different bags for different missions.

  842. 1. Same bag, no matter when I travel.
    2. Same bag for different types of travel.

  843. I use the same bag no matter what the season and I use the same bag regardless of the purpose of my travel. My bag is pink thanks to my wife and so I could really use the the B&R bag to help restore my masculinity! Thanks

  844. 1. No
    2. Yes – depending on length of time of the trip and whether my daughter comes too!

  845. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I use the same bags for both business and pleasure travel (my city apartment is muy pequeño)

  846. 1. No but summer is easier to make do with a carry on.
    2. Sure, pleasure trips require far less clothing than work.

  847. I have two bags: big and small, and they work for all seasons and for all work and leisure travel. The deciding factor for me is how long I’m going to be gone and how much I need to carry. Usually this consists of trying to cram as much as humanly possible into “small” so I don’t have to check a bag.

    This would be a nice upgrade for “small.” Thanks for the contest.

  848. 1) Nope, no matter the temp outside it’s always winter on the plane.
    2) Work and play it’s all the same, except the garment bag within the suitcase varies in bulkiness, and the airlines keep breaking off bits of my luggage so they look worse and worse over time. If only I could win some new bags…

  849. 1)Same bags for all seasons.

    2)I do have different bags for different occasions, I have a short vacation one, a large camping backpack for longer travels, and a nicer suitcase for business travel

  850. Like I said,
    1. No seasonal bag change
    2. I do have different bags for work and play

  851. No and no… Same bags regardless!

    This is why I need to win so I can have some luggage variety! 😉

  852. I have the same travel bags for all seasons. I vary it depending only on how much I’m going to bring with me aka the length of the trip.

    For work I usually bring a smaller bag, even a small duffle, and for longer vacations I have a shoulder bag and a suitcase, and I pick from those depending on how much I’m bringing. It depends on the trip, the right bag for the right job!

  853. I have the same two travel bags when I’m on my own- I go with the smallest possible.

    Vacations used to be the same bags, but now with a little guy in the family we have much larger rollers that we *gasp* check…

  854. 1. I do have different bags for different seasons, because when it’s snowing/raining a lot I like bags with wheels so they don’t get as dirty when I have to put them down.

    2. I do have have different bags for different missions – such as duffle bags for short trips, rolling garment bags for work trips, and spinner uprights for vacation/family trips.

  855. I don’t have a bag for different seasons nor do I use a different bag for different missions. Thanks

  856. I don’t have different bags for different seasons
    I have different size bags for different types of trips.

  857. 1. Using just one bag for all seasons
    2. Using same bag for all purposes

    Keep it simple!

  858. 1) Seasons do not determine which bags we use
    2) Leisure/business do not change what bags we use

    The driving factor on which bags we use when we travel is what airline we’re traveling on and what bag allotment they allow.

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

  860. 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!

  861. 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.

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

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

    I do have different bags for work/leisure.

    Thanks!

  864. 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.

  865. 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.

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

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

  868. 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

  869. 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.

  870. 1. No.
    2. Yes.

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

  871. 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

  872. 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.

  873. 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.

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

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

  876. 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.

  877. 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. 🙂

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

  879. 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

  880. 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.

  881. 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!

  882. 1. Same bag for all seasons.
    2. Unless I am going on a climbing/trekking adventure when the North Face bags come out, I use the same bag for business and leisure travel.

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

    I do not have different bags for work and leisure since good luggage gets pricey! I do pack differently though for both types of trips.

  884. 1. Nope – use the same bag.
    2. Yes – sometimes a smaller bag for less people on the trip versus work related trips get a backpack etc.

  885. Hello! great giveaway.

  886. No, I don’t have different bags for different seasons.

    Yes, I have different bags for different missions.

  887. I pretty much use the same bag for all seasons/missions. I do have different sizes of the same bag, and on a RARE occasion when either taking a very short trip, or flying spirit (yuck!) I will pack everything into a backpack.

  888. 1. No, I don’t pack different bags depending on the season.
    2. Yes, I have 1 carry on and 1 check in, I generally limit work travel to the carry on and often find myself taking the check in for vacation (significant other always overpacks!)

  889. 1. No, I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. My luggage for business trips are different from the ones I use for vacations. For business, a large case that allows me to pack suits and other more formal clothing is a must along with a carry on that has space for all of the technology toys needed to conduct business. For leisure, take almost any suitcase, throw in the clothes and let the fun begin!

  890. 1. No, I use the same bag for all seasons, because I only have one.

    2. Yes, I do have a backpack for traveling to Europe when there will be a lot of transport and walking involved. And I have my usual vacation bag.

  891. I do not have a different bag for different seasons.

    I also do not have a different bag for work and pleasure.

    I have a couple of Briggs & Rileys, so they work in both roles.

  892. ■Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    Nope. good bags cross over all the seasons.

    ■Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work.
    Nope. I have one carry on I use for everything and a bigger one for longer trips. Since I ahve never traveled out of town for work, all my trips are vacations.

  893. 1) I do no have different bags for different seasons.

    2) I do have different bags depending on purpose/length of trip. My wife gave me a wonderful over the shoulder leather bag that is perfect for 48 hour weekend getaways. I use a standard rollarboard during the week for work.

    Cheers!

  894. No seasonal bags for me. Work bag is a backpack in addition to my other regular bag.

  899. Different bags for different seasons – no, not really. Although colder climates coming or going might require I take and check the bigger bag rather than the medium.

    I don’t really travel for business, so no, I scheme only for length of the trip and the climates involved.

  900. I use the same luggage nomatter what the season. I tend to wear almost the same clothes all year (well, I do lose the shorts in winter :), but a coat will normally be worn on the plane, and that’s the most variable piece for me.

    I also don’t really do any business travel; not in the last 5-6 years anyway. I will take different luggage based on the length of the trip, tho.

  901. 1. No – always carry on for business
    2. Yes – take more on vacation (bigger bag)!

  902. 1. No

  903. I don’t have a bag for different seasons.

    I do have a bag for different missions. Mission 1 is to keep my bag in pristine condition and the items inside of it safe. Mission 2 is to pack as much as I can in a bag that I don’t care so much when it gets wrecked or if the contents end up disappearing courtesy of the kleptos at the airport.

  904. ◾Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No I don’t

    ◾Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Not really, though I do have a travel backpack for any travel where that works easier.

    2. Regular bag for business, larger for vacations

  911. No, I do not have different bags for different seasons.

  912. 1. I don’t have enough space to vary my luggage by seasons!

  913. I have 1 bag for all seasons.
    I do have different bags for different occasions. The shoulder bag doesn’t work well when hiking.

  914. 1. No

    2. I tend to use a 22″ roller for work and backpack for play.

  915. I do not have different bags for different seasons, but I do for different missions.

  916. 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.

  917. 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.

  918. I do not have different bags for different seasons nor do I have different bags for different missions . . .although I’d like to.

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

  920. 1. No. I do not have different bags for different seasons.

    That’s why I need a TORQ bag!!!

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Nope

  925. 1. I do not have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I do have different bags for work and leisure – travel a little lighter when I’m at work and often use a Samsonite garment bag for business attire

  926. 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 !!!!!

  927. 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.

  928. 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.

  929. 1 – I have one bag for all seasons.

    2 – I have one bag for business and leisure travel.

  930. 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!!!!

  931. Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? No

  932. 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.

  933. Nope, and yes. Personal luggage needs to withstand a little more wear and tear than work stuff.

  934. 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.

  935. 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.

  936. Different bags for different seasons, as I have to carry different sized clothes.

    Same bag for business or pleasure- always just a carry-on

  937. 1. No, I use the same bags for all seasons
    2. No, I use the same bags for all types of trips

  938. no to both questions. (unless you count different sized bags depending on how much i pack)

  939. No and yes! Never tried 4 wheeler luggage though, would love to give it a spin!

  940. 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!

  941. 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.

  942. 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.

  943. 1. No different bags for different seasons.

    2. Backpack for short trips, carry on for longer ones – no change for work/leisure.

  944. I do not have a different bag for different seasons.

    I also do not have a different bag for work and pleasure.

  945. NO to both. I use same bag for all purposes. It’s time to get new ones since my current ones are getting old. Pick me!! thanks.

  946. I have the same travel bags for all seasons.

    For work I usually bring a smaller bag, even a small duffle, and for longer vacations I have a shoulder bag and a suitcase, and I pick from those depending on how much I’m bringing. Whatever’s right for the job!

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

    I also don’t have a different bag for personal versus business travel.

  948. 1. Sadly, I do not have different bags for different seasons. :–(
    2. Nor do I have different bags for vacation travel and business travel.

  949. Luggage dependent on season? No, not really

    Luggage dependent on mission? Some, but business travel isn’t something I really do. It’s all about length of trip, what the remote climate will me, if I have access to laundry facilities and care to use them, and how much riff-raff I might bring home. That determines the size of my bag(s) … and if I might try to take a second (hasn’t happened yet, but might come in handy on occasion).

  950. For seasonal travel, I will pack heavier close in winter, but this doesn’t necessarily change the bag I use.

    I don’t travel for work at all, so it’s all about the weather at my destination, and for how long I will be gone

  951. 1. I don’t have different bags for different seasons.
    2. I do have different bags for different missions — both business vs. leisure and different types of trips within those categories.

    Thanks again, Gary.

  952. 1) Nope, no matter the temperature outside it’s always winter on the plane.
    2) Work and play it’s all the same, except the garment bag within the suitcase varies in bulkiness, and the airlines keep breaking off bits of my luggage so they look worse and worse over time. If only I could win some new bags…

  953. I do use different bags for different reason. Business travel is always a carry-on garment bag. Leisure travel could be a number of different bags

    Different bags for different lengths of time and different types of travel..

  954. No seasonal bag and no purpose specific luggage. Same bag goes everywhere I need to go.

  955. I have a garment bag for work that I rarely use for leisure travel.

    I only have different bags for different seasons because winter clothing is so much bulkier and takes up more space than summer clothing, so I can use a smaller bag when I pack sandals instead of boots.

  956. 1. same bag for all seasons

    2. small carry-on for business and larger luggage for leisure

  957. 1. Yes: I have a ski boot bag and a hard-shell ski case (winter) but apart from that, no.

    2. Yes, I use a camping backpack for some trips (fun, rural) and a rollaboard for others (urban, business)

  958. 1) Don’t have a different bag for different seasons.
    2) I take a carry-on for business, while a duffel bag for small roadtrips, or a larger bag for longer trips.

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

    But I do have an old Eddie Bauer small tan duffel that came with an expedition my parents bought about 15 years ago (I’m surprised it’s still in such good shape) and a hanging bag for business travel.

  960. Just one set of bags….basically used depending on the length of the trip. Weather/trip purpose doesn’t really influence which bag I take.

  961. 1) I don’t change up my bags with the seasons.

    2) I do not travel for work. I usually take a standard black rolling bag for most weekend travel. However, on trips where I must check a bag (usually hiking or SCUBA related), I take a small hiking daypack instead.

  962. 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. 🙂

  963. 1. Same bags all season
    2. Different bags for different missions.
    I hope the third time is a charm and I win this bag!

  964. Do you have different bags for different seasons? Nope
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Not really except for the rarely used suit bag

  965. Do you have different bags for different seasons? Of course!
    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? Certainly!

  966. No seasonal bags for me, but work trips do require the backpack and all the tech gear.

  967. No seasonal bags for me, but work trips do require the backpack and all the tech gear.

  968. I do not have a seasonal bags. For work a good travel clothes bag is wonderful.

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

    2. I do have different bags for different missions – while I do not travel for work except for the annual company meeting, I have different bags that I use for different types of trips – dependent on whether it’s international or domestic, weekend or 7-12 days, cruising w/flights or cruising w/o flights, or driving to the beach for a couple of days.

    Despite having a collection of bags, I don’t own a B&R but wish I did!

  970. ◾Do you have different bags for different seasons?
    No

    ◾Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work?
    Not really, though I do have a travel backpack for any travel where that works easier.
    And use carry on bag for shorter trips and check-in usually on international..

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

    Do you have different bags for different missions – such as vacation travel and work? I have a cheap walmart throw-away roller and a ebags TLS weekender backpack convertible for when a roller would be inconvenient such as when taking a lot of public transit.

  972. I do not have different bags for different seasons, but I do have different bags for different missions.

  973. No change in bag for seasonal differences.

    Yes, I do use a different bag for different tasks like work compared to leisure.

    Would love a new bag!

  974. 1. I use the same bag for both seasons.

    2. I use the same bag for vacation but also supplement with an additional bag

    Thanks!

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

    My work and leisure luggage is interchangeable. Between my wife and I we can usually mix and match what we need for a trip. That is now being thrown off traveling with a 1 y/o though…

    fingers crossed!

  976. I do not use different bags for different seasons, but depending on the purpose of the trip do have different bags. I have a combination backpack/rollaboard for 1-2 night business trips, a soft Rick Steves carry-on sized bag for longer trips and vacations, and a gargantuan American Tourister suitcase for those trips where cargo size really matters.

  977. I usually use the same bag throughout the year on my travels.

    For leisure, I go with a 40L backpack, and for business I use a mini briefcase.

  978. I have the same travel bags for all seasons. I vary it depending on the length of the trip and destination.

    For work I usually bring a smaller bag, even a small duffle, and for longer vacations I have a shoulder bag and a suitcase, and I pick from those depending on how much I’m bringing. Right bag, right job!

  979. 1) Same bag for all seasons.

    2) Work bag is small so I don’t need to check it, vacation bag is big, so the ‘boss’ has more real-estate to pack her things.

  980. 1. I use the same bags for all seasons, and even if I’m traveling to two places with opposite temps, I’ll just pack one bag.

    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. 🙂

  981. I don’t have different bags for different seasons as I use a hardshell that work for all seasons. The B&R Torq is something I have been waiting for though.

    I typically use the same type of bags for business or vacation, although I use smaller hardsides for business as the trips are shorter

  982. No, except for ski bags, all luggage is Briggs and Riley, from Vermont skiing to tropical Cruising.
    Yes, I have a work bag, Red Oxx, used as a briefcase, all the rest is Briggs and Riley, except a Stahlsac scuba bag for dive gear. This new Torq series looks awesome! I have the Baseline and can’t wait to see this new line in person!
