Redolz Essentials 17 Hand luggage suitcase

The hand luggage case from Redolz arrives in a compact, brown cardboard box with the manufacturer’s logo. Inside is the case, which is generously wrapped in bubble wrap to protect the product . The handles and zips are also protected by additional plastic film elements. The manufacturer guarantees safe and undamaged transport, so the product makes a very good first impression. At the same time, an alternative to plastic would be desirable in terms of sustainability . The package contents are complete as stated by the manufacturer. Apart from a small information card with the manufacturer’s contact address and the most important material details, there are no instructions for use . In view of the product, this seems absolutely sufficient.

After unpacking and removing the film, we take a closer look at the hand luggage case. The first thing that catches the eye is the modern and attractive design of the case. The silver metal zips and the black-anthracite design of the shell look harmonious.
When looking at the workmanship, we can also only see positive things. The workmanship gives a high-quality impression and there are no manufacturing defects either on the outer shell or on the countless seams.
The product appears relatively stable and appropriate for its intended use. It is also noticeable that the case is pleasantly light despite its relatively robust manufacture .
The only thing we have to criticise is sustainability. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any information on the production or transport of the products. However, due to the use of high-quality and durable materials , a certain sustainability can be assumed based on a long service life. Further information from the manufacturer would be desirable.

In the practical test, the carry-on suitcase impresses with its well thought-out design and practical features that make travelling much easier. The sturdy telescopic handle can be adjusted in three stages, allowing it to be optimally adapted to your own height. Even when the suitcase is fully loaded, the handle remains stable and can easily withstand the load.
Equipped with four low-noise and 360° swivelling castors, the case allows flexible movement in any direction. Whether on smooth airport floors or uneven surfaces, the case can be manoeuvred effortlessly. It is particularly noteworthy that the castors remain stable even when the suitcase is under maximum load and their function is not impaired. Compared to conventional suitcases, which are often cumbersome or noisy, this model scores with its quiet and smooth movements.
The locking mechanisms are also very user-friendly. All zips work flawlessly and are smooth-running, even when the suitcase is full to bursting. Additional security is provided by the integrated TSA combination lock, which is particularly reassuring when travelling by air.
The interior of the suitcase is cleverly organised. Several practical inner compartments, such as a separate laundry compartment, make it possible to store various items in a clear and well-organised manner. This makes packing easier and saves time, as everything has its fixed place. The spacious outer compartment, which is specially designed for a laptop or other flat items, is particularly useful. Thanks to this compartment, there is no need to search in the main compartment of the suitcase, which is a particular advantage at airport checkpoints or when travelling on business.
In terms of stability, the carry-on suitcase is also outstanding. It is made of polypropylene, a material known for its durability and longevity . The case offers reliable protection for the contents, even when subjected to rough handling in everyday life or when travelling. Despite its robust construction, the case remains light enough to carry comfortably, making it an ideal companion for short trips or business travel.
To summarise, this carry-on suitcase offers a perfect blend of stability, comfort and functionality. The outer compartment for laptops in particular impressed us in our test as an alternative to other models that is suitable for everyday use.
