Briggs and Riley is also very good but it weighs more which cuts into the amount you can pack!
Agree with Tumi. I traveled for business as well and used luggage from Tumi made out of ballistic material that could have been used to shield against bullets (was my sisters comment to me). Thought it was funny back then (80s/90s) and now sad, but true.

Good luggage is truly an investment.
