Away luggage. Value is much better than Rimowa and they still look excellent. Very popular but also high quality.

My ex had a really bad return situation with Away. "lifetime" is only if they can find you in the system, then when they couldn't for a minor fix they ended up losing his return, and giving him a runaround for two months.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

This is a four year old piece of luggage, by the way, dad's replaced 40 year old LL Bean duck boots, and Craftsman tools maybe twice that age without issue. (don't tell them we used the new electric impact wrench with those sockets)

personally use the Carhartt 35L duffel a lot but don't like the general lack of pockets tbh, but it's very comfortable.

Rimowa and Briggs & Riley are both really good brands. This is very much trying to split hairs between a GS and a MS. 

As a B&R user, the biggest difference for me is that it is far easier to get repairs done with B&R. In my experience, they are far more responsive, they do the repair work quicker, and they are just easier to deal with.

But either way, you really can't go wrong with either of them
