Briggs & Riley's Sympatico Domestic Spinner
The Briggs & Riley's Sympatico Domestic Spinner is the most durable of these carry-on luggage listed. It's obvious that this small luggage is expensive. The exceedingly robust, shock-absorbing Makrolon polycarbonate shell sustained exactly zero dents or scratches during the bat and drop tests. It is expected to last for five to 10 years, even if someone traveled frequently.
Beyond its durability, this carry-on is easy to maneuver on hard floors and carpets, around tight corners, and even over bumps. Also, it includes a lot of organizational features and a good amount of packing space. Many reviewers appreciated it for having well-designed features and for having numerous parts that really maximize the space in this small carry-on bag (the pockets, the dividers, the expanding sides). The expander is on the inside, which isn't the most logical placement, so keep that in mind. Other than that, you might like the glossy exterior's design and believe it accurately reflects the high price tag.
