Leading luxury luggage manufacturer Briggs & Riley has launched its first-ever hard-sided range of cases called 'Torq'.
As with all Briggs & Riley products, the cases come with a lifetime, no questions asked, warranty.
The range is comprised of three cases: a Carry-on Spinner (which meets the regulations of most UK airlines) and a medium and large Spinner.
The cases are made of durable, three-layer, 100% virgin Makrolon® polycarbonate, which is high in strength and lightweight, yet provides both elasticity and resiliency.
Torq is available in three colours, cobalt, graphite and ruby and provide the expected durability of hard-sided luggage but with the versatility of a traditional suitcase.
Other features of note include:
- Padded slip lid pocket which holds an iPad or tablet in or out of its case (Carry On bag)
- Briggs & Riley's unique 'Outsider' handle allows wrinkle-free flat packing interior and greater packing space
- 80/20 top lid opening allowing bag to be packed on a luggage rack or bed like a traditional suitcase
- Moulded compression panel keeps clothing flat, minimising wrinkling, and prevents contents from shifting in transit
- Aircraft-grade aluminium telescopic handle system, with three stop heights: 34 inches, 37 inches, and 40 inches (medium
and large bags only)
- The Briggs & Riley Control Panel with integrated TSA-friendly combination lock secures contents in main and front compartments
- 'Smartlink' system strap that enables two or more bags to be transported as one
- Recessed double spinner wheels for lower centre of gravity and effortless 360° navigation, with steel components for added durability
Dimensions in centimetres: Carry On - 54.5 x 36.5 x 24, Medium - 66 x 44.1 x 29.2, Large - 73.6 x 51.8 x 32.6.
