I’ve been dying to test out a four-wheeled carry-on for a long time. Though I’ve always tried to be respectful of other people’s feet, I’ve tripped more than one person as I pull my two-wheelers through the airport. Briggs & Riley launched their TORQ line of spinner (four-wheeled) bags earlier this year and I got Read More…

Briggs & Riley Exchange 20 Duffel ~ WanderGear Wednesday
In the last few years, Briggs & Riley has been rolling out (no pun intended) their BRX line of luggage.

WanderGear Wednesday: Carry-on Bag Roundup
