Briggs & Riley Cargo Backpack
Briggs & Riley Transcend Cargo weekender backpack review
The Briggs & Riley Cargo is perfect for anyone looking for a professional looking weekender backpack to take with them on busy work trips. The main compartment opens up like a suitcase for full access to clothes, shoes and other personal items. The front pockets are perfect for smaller items and provide quick-access to essentials such as an iPad, pens, passports and eyeglasses.
What we like
Structured professional design. Looks and feels like a quality backpack.
Small enough to be used as a carry-on or airline personal item. Fits underneath airplane seats.
What we don’t like
Not fully weatherproof. Leaks are a possibility if caught in a heavy downpour which is a disappointment at this price point.
SPECIFICATIONS
Dimensions: 18” H x 11.5” W x 8” D
Capacity: 24L
Weight: 2.3 lbs
Material: Proprietary nylon twill

Briggs & Riley Leather Medium Backpack
Briggs & Riley @work Leather Medium backpack review
The Briggs & Riley Medium backpack in leather is a premium business and travel backpack for those who want something stylish yet understated. At 20.5 liter capacity, the backpack is just the right size for daily commuter carry or as a personal item on most airlines. The leather and YKK zippers add sophistication to an already sleek design.
The Briggs & Riley Medium backpack is also available in non-leather versions made of ballistic nylon.
What we like
Great business carry options; compartments for laptop and tablet, pockets for files and organizers for smaller items like business cards and pens.
High quality leather makes the bag look and feel like a high end backpack.
Small enough to be used as a carry-on or airline personal item. Fits underneath airplane seats.
What we don’t like
20.5 liter capacity limits what you can hold in the main compartment. Can be tough fitting things like a light jacket or large water bottle when the pockets inside the main compartment are being used.
SPECIFICATIONS
Dimensions: 17.5” H x 12” W x 7” D
Capacity: 20.5L
Weight: 2.9 lbs
Material: Leather
Laptop Compartment: Up to 15.6”
