7. Briggs & Riley Torq: Most Durable Lightweight Suitcase
Briggs & Riley began in New York, the travel mecca of the U.S., with the promise of revolutionizing the luggage market.
Their Torq Collection of hard-side luggage is the ultimate powerhouse, with a scratch-proof case and a versatile handle system made with aircraft-grade aluminum. The bag is made from three strong layers of top-quality Makrolon polycarbonate, the toughest thermo-plastic in the world.

Inside, there are compartments and accessory pockets to make organization simple. The main compartment holder contains enough for a week-long trip, a zippered mesh pocket to keep excess garments, and an additional folder to keep your business suits wrinkle-free.
The luggage also features a host of exterior zippered pockets for easy access to your important items like passports and laptops. These pockets are fitted with popular YKK zippers, which are known to be one of the strongest and most expensive zippers for high-end luxury.
Do note that if any of the zipper heads for Briggs & Riley bags break, you can replace them easily by using a pen to remove them from the zip, and claiming warranty under Briggs & Riley’s insurance. Briggs & Riley’s ‘Simple as that’ lifetime warranty covers everything from workmanship defects to airline damage.
