Briggs & Riley Baseline Garment Bag

Briggs & Riley's Baseline Garment Bag (sold as the Baseline Classic Garment Bag, model BL389-4) is the one professional travelers buy when they're done replacing cheap garment bags every two years. The ballistic nylon exterior absorbs overhead bin abuse without scuffing, and at 3.2 lbs (1.5 kg) with a slim 2-inch profile it is built for one-to-three-day trips rather than a week of clothing. Inside, garment straps hold hanging items in place, two mesh-lid zip pockets take accessories, and the included hook lets the bag hang on a door. The lifetime guarantee — including damage caused by airlines — is not marketing language; Briggs & Riley repairs damaged bags free of charge with no proof of purchase needed, which changes how you think about the investment.
