Reviews

Why did I wait so long to buy this!

"Amazing! I have always bought Louis Vuitton for my travel needs and the B&R bags are just heaven to use. I bought many items and love them all. This backpack is perfect!"

— Stephanie F. (5/5)

Fits M1 Macbook Air

"I just received this backpack and haven't used it yet. My main concern was that laptop capability said that this bag wasn't big enough to fit a Macbook Air. I'm happy to see that it fits my Macbook Air M1 perfectly! The rest of bag is larger than I expected as well so it looks like it'll be a great bag for my travels."

— Sarina (5/5)

U-Zip Backpack

"Never to be disappointed… the first 30 seconds possessing this bag I knew it was holding my materials securely… pockets galore, zippers large enough to grasp with gloved hands and straps to stay on my shoulders… For the military and acting, I utilize Briggs & Riley bags for everything… medical supplies, laminated guides and weather instruments… all of my bags simply work… Recently, I had two damaged wheels for a CX Compression international carryon bag… replaced without question… This backpack bag will also perform in the field under harsh conditions: transporting, inclement weather or being tossed within the Green Room while on set… My equipment stays safe, and I stay relaxed… after all… it is a Briggs & Riley… I will go with nothing else… Thank you B & R… T Baker (Vermont)"

Perfect size

"I’m fairly petite at 5’3” and this bag fits me perfectly. It’s also the perfect mix of functional and professional. Practical enough to fit all the necessities when traveling (which I was worried about) and elevated enough to use for work. Great quality too. So happy with this purchase."

— Stephen G. (5/5)

The perfect travel backpack for me

"Last year I purchased the B&R "Traveler Backpack" and used it along with my B&R "Essential 22" Carry-on Spinner" for a 1 week vacation to Grand Cayman. Of course, I packed each piece to the fullest. The Traveler Backpack held so much that it was far too heavy and bulky for me to comfortably carry. Lacking an alternative at the time, I used it anyway. (For reference: I am 5'6", 142 lbs and female) I then purchased the "U-Zip Backpack" to use for my 2026 vacation. This backpack was perfect! At only 10 lbs, when fully packed, it comfortably held all of my essentials, including a light sweater. It is comfortable to wear, beautifully made, not too many pockets and the zippers open & close smoothly for easy access. I will be using this backpack for all of my travel adventures!"

— Margaret D. (5/5)

Great travel bag holding small essential items.

"Easy access with pocket organizers. Great for travel for holding small items. It is not a lot of rooms once large items occupied in main compartment since it is round shape. I do loved the bag. Very well made. I used this bag for holding small essential items. And front pocket and back side pocket were very helpful. Side bottle pocket would recommended using smaller bottle. I have big bottle. It doesn’t work well. Overall. Great purchase."

— JO T. (4/5)

Fantastic Everyday Backpack

"The U Zip backpack has quickly become one of my favourite daily essentials. The design is sleek and modern without trying too hard, and the overall size is just right — spacious enough to carry everything I need while still feeling compact and easy to wear. My laptop fits comfortably with room to spare, which is a huge plus for commuting and travel. The internal pockets are a thoughtful touch and make organisation effortless. Everything has its place, so I’m never rummaging around trying to find things. A well‑designed, practical, and stylish backpack that genuinely delivers on functionality. Highly recommended."

— Bukkie A. (5/5)

The bag itself is of

"The bag itself is of good quality but the specs are misleading as it indicates it can fit a 13 inch laptop in the laptop slot. I have a laptop that is shy of 13 inches but the slot is meant for the thickness of an iPad Air not a laptop so it’s a struggle to fit my MacBook Pro."

— Janak J. (2/5)

Love it, needs to be 15% bigger

"I love the design and it’s exactly what I wanted. But it’s smaller than I wanted. It’s tight to get my laptop in it, tight to get over my roller bag handle and the front pocket is super small and hard to fill when the backpack is full"

— Melissa L. (3/5)

Backpack review

"I bought this as a Christmas present to replace my wife’s travel backpack. She loves it! It’s the right size to store under an airline seat, yet still big enough to be useful. The design and pockets are well thought out. And as with all of the Briggs & Riley products, the materials and top quality and she loves the color."

— Devin B. (5/5)
