Manufacturer’s product description
The YS2 suitcase is a compact and modern trolley suitcase that impressed the Prüfengel Institute in its test, particularly with its robust hard shell and flexible 360° wheel system. Thanks to its low weight, the suitcase is ideal for use as hand luggage and, despite its compact dimensions, offers sufficient storage space for short trips. The comfortably shaped, soft rubber handle ensures a high level of carrying comfort, while the integrated combination lock provides solid basic security.
The smooth maneuverability was particularly impressive, allowing for comfortable use even on narrow or busy paths.
However, the test also showed that individual components—such as the wheels—can be more susceptible to wear and tear with intensive continuous use, which is a negative point. Likewise, the interior material could be of a slightly higher quality to further enhance the overall impression.
Overall, the suitcase offers very good value for money, a modern look, and all the features that reliable everyday luggage needs.
Advantages
- Robust hard shell for reliable protection
- Lightweight, ideal for cabin luggage
- Modern and simple design with good use of space
