'I've tested dozens of suitcases and this is the best I've found – it's so lightweight'

As a seasoned travel editor for over a decade, I've had my fair share of packing experiences. After seeing stylish jet-setters constantly praising Briggs & Riley luggage, I decided to try out their Torq Large Hardside Spinner. It turned out to be the best suitcase I've ever used. There are no bulky mechanisms or structural parts eating into the valuable packing space (though I am a firm believer in using packing cubes to maximise space). If this is a bit beyond your budget, I also own and can recommend Antler's Large Suitcase, priced at £255.
