Im guessing you dont have size 13 or 14 running shoes sitting in a 22" purse with wheels.

Bump for 2026.
LHR just started hating on the 26" LW so am thinking of the B&R Essential 22" 2-wheel. Any updates on the J-hook? Or perhaps the 22" LW Suiter with the suit panels removed to lighten the load. Any comments/opinions on these two bags? How has the B&R bags held up to the wear and tear?
I looked at Perks and we get 20% off of up to three items for B&R. I've looked at Costco but they don't have the Essential. Any other good deals/prices on the B&R? (yes, cheap pilot.)
No, I don't have any Darth Vader requirements like CX, but I do like to have some 'non-layover-looking layover clothes.

B&R didn't have the J hook as an option last year so I took the TUMI J hook and just threaded it into the T bar attachment that B&R offered at the time....works fine.

I use the 22" B&R. It's expandable. It's the 2 wheeler. Order the "j-hooks" - they are not really J-hooks it's a strap with a buckle type thing. It's snaps into a fitting on the top of the bag, stays pretty good there. As long as you're not strapping a dead body in it it works well. I would order 2 of the straps just in case (I think they are like $16 each).
It has a zippered tri-fold thing inside the top that works well for shirts and pants. I carry one extra uniform shirt, a semi-dress shirt and a pair of long pants in that thing. It works well and the trifold set-up surprisingly keeps them from getting terribly wrinkled.
I like the bag, it works pretty well. You can pack quite a bit of stuff in it as it is well laid out.
