A good bag with many good features, but it doesn't roll straight--in fact, it tips over--when you put a smaller bag on top of it and push or roll it along on four wheels. I see folks with different bags rolling them along just fine, even piled with other bags. I bought a four-wheeler with the idea of NOT having to wear my knapsack in airports, so this bag is a bust.
The transcend medium piece I purchased was the older model; I was able to obtain a great price and love the Briggs & Riley quality products. The older piece has the expandable option in the front of the bag via a zippered option unlike the new designed piece which allows you to expand the piece inside the suitcase in a new, innovative way. I was concerned that the expansion part might cause the bag to "tip over"; which it actually did on my last trip. However, I still consider it a super great bag. The packing capacity is big for the size. I would have gotten the newer version, but I didn't feel that I could justify the higher cost of the newer model with how much I travel (a few trips a year). Superb quality from Briggs & Riley.

I bought the Briggs & Riley Transcend spinner for a vacation trip to Europe. It arrived in zip time and was exactly what I wanted. It has ample storage room for my needs. It is well made, and well balanced as my partner and I wound through the various airports and streets of Firenze. I like the expandable feature, which is unobtrusive when closed, but adds a terrific amount of storage space for bringing all those things I never should have bought back to the States. I have had countless suitcases over my professional career, from clunky Samsonite hard bodies in the 80s to folding garment bags to keep my suits relatively wrinkle free. While I have had several of the latter, the zippers always give out. This product is much better made than anything I have owned in the past. Plus it is very lightweight and pushes easily. While this doesn't matter to most people, I love the fact that the handle extends so I don't have to bend over to move it (I'm 6'5"). Another feature I appreciate is the handle apparatus is outside the bag itself. This looks great and (more importantly) makes packing easier, as you don't have to pack around the hardware. I cannot comment on durability, as I haven't had it for long, but, with a lifetime warranty, what's not to like? Finally, it looks sharp. Little touches, like the ID tag pocket, provide an air of class. The distinctive colors make it easy to distinguish from a host of other similar spinners.

I purchased this, looking for a medium sized bag good for intl travel. I have a larger B&R bag that has lasted a good 10 years through frequent international travel, and I wanted a smaller one now that I travel less. A couple comments PROS 1) solid quality and not too heavy 2) like the internal adjustable system. Used it a lot on my last trip. 3) deep outside pocket perfect for jacket, umbrella. Great when you know you’re arriving into cold weather but don’t want to pack into carryon.
CONS 1) when the luggage is expanded, can be unexpected difficult to roll the luggage in a straight line. I think this is due to the added weight on one side of the bag.

Purchased the Briggs & Riley Transcend Spinner Luggage in the Checked Medium (25-26 inch) size for a 10-day trip in Asia. Between the flights, the trains, the shuttle buses, car rides, etc., the suitcase is still in perfect condition. We especially loved the VX expansion system (basically velcro) because it made the case feel much more sturdy than the flimsy zipper expanders and we were able to adjust how much to expand. The new compression system in the Baseline luggage seems like an even better execution, but at $100+ more, we were perfectly happy with the Transcend line. We are sad to see that Transcend might be discontinued. We are now looking to purchase the Large size for an even longer trip next year. As someone who has spent hundreds on other luggage (Samsonite, Victorinox, Ricardo, etc.), I could have bought Briggs and Riley pieces all along instead of going through the revolving door of lower quality and less functional pieces. Make the upgrade! You won't regret it!!
