Hauppauge, N.Y. (January 22, 2010) - Briggs & Riley Travelware, the favored brand of business and leisure travelers, is pleased to announce the launch of BRX, a high-performance luggage collection for the adventure traveler. Through a combination of technical materials and advanced engineering, the new BRX collection provides a lightweight solution with extreme performance capabilities in a refined, modern aesthetic. The 7-piece collection is made up of wheeled carry-ons, large uprights, duffles and a backpack. It will be available in earthy Slate, Ocean and Amber colors and is priced from $40-$320.
BRX sports a 10-20% weight reduction compared to top selling similar bags. Briggs & Riley’s proprietary material management system employs multiple fabrics to reinforce areas of abrasion and stress while reducing weight in non-critical areas. Other key features of the BRX collection include: large cushioned handles for easy gripping, an outside handle system on wheeled styles for flat packing, and the use of technical grade hardware for maximum durability and reliability.
