Briggs & Riley Cabin Spinner
Buy from Amazon
If you’re looking for a spinner carry on bag for a 2-3 day business trip or vacation that is roomy but smaller than a full sized carry on bag, you should take a look at the Briggs & Riley Cabin Spinner. It is part of their Baseline series of spinners which also includes a full 22″ carry on spinner for longer trips.

Light packers and people going on 1 or 2 day trips don’t usually want to get bogged down by a full-sized carry on but may still want a bag with wheels and enough organizational pockets. This cabin bag is perfect for those travelers. The design of the bag is quite clever and very different from any other out there, particularly in the way the compartments and pockets are placed.

Specific Briggs & Riley features are present, like the double spinner wheels and the extending handle system being placed outside the bag instead of inside. As with any bag from this brand, the quality of materials used and construction is top class, and the lifetime warranty for any damage makes this luxury bag worth it for frequent travelers.
