Briggs & Riley Sympatico Carry-On Luggage
Best expandable carry-on for frequent travelers needing extra packing space.
This is the gold standard for frequent flyers who refuse to check a bag. The ingenious expansion-compression system grants you extra room when you need it and a slim profile when you don't, though the hardshell construction means you sacrifice the flexibility of soft-sided pockets.
