WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPINNER (4-WHEEL) AND UPRIGHT ROLLING (2-WHEEL) LUGGAGE?

Here’s the thing. They both have their pros and cons, so it all comes down to how you’re traveling, how often, and where you’re going. Spinner luggage is more susceptible to breakage because the wheels move in different directions. This is especially true when you’re rolling over uneven surfaces like cobblestone. The wheels on upright luggage, on the other hand, tend to be more durable because they don’t move around as much. Not to mention the wheels are affixed close to the luggage so they are less stressed. While it’s not as easy to move upright luggage around than it is spinner luggage, you can literally roll it over any terrain and not have to worry about damage. 

The best spinner luggage and upright pieces are an investment and when you’re buying quality luggage like our offerings at Briggs and Riley, then you can feel confident in knowing that your purchase will last you a lifetime—especially if you take advantage of our  repair service. We stand behind our unconditional lifetime guarantee, so that’s why we offer you a variety of convenient repair options, so you and your bag can get back on the road. With that being said, our spinners and upright models run anywhere from $400 to $800 depending on the model and size you choose. 

Well, what type of traveler are you? If you frequently travel for business or take regular weekend getaways then the spinner is a great option as it can help you stay on-the-go with ease. If you are a globe-trekker then the upright roller is a better selection as it can withstand the different types of terrain you’re visiting. It’s also easier to get on a train, bus, boat, or ferry with an upright. Ideally, it’s nice to have one of each so that you can adapt your luggage to your travels.
