COOLIFE cabin case with cabin bag

The cabin case and cabin bag set arrives in a compact, brown cardboard box. Inside is the suitcase wrapped in bubble wrap. The travel bag, in turn, is wrapped in another plastic film inside the case, which minimises the size of the packaging. Product protection is therefore fully guaranteed, even if this does not seem difficult for such a robust item. The plastic film used offers additional protection, but sustainable alternatives would be useful and desirable. In particular, the wrapping of the travel bag seems almost superfluous.
The contents of the pack are complete, as stated by the manufacturer. General instructions for use are not included with the product, but this seems rather superfluous for such a self-explanatory item. The combination lock is explained in more detail on an enclosed information card inside the case.

The carry-on suitcase with travel bag impresses at first glance with its modern and appealing design, which is reflected in both the suitcase and the bag. The simple elegance and appealing choice of colours ensure a contemporary look that is suitable for any travel situation. The workmanship of the set is also solid, with the seams being neatly finished and the materials leaving a high-quality impression. However, the extendable telescopic handle occasionally snags, which detracts slightly from the overall impression.
However, there are no concerns when it comes to stability: the case shell is extremely robust and can withstand even heavy use. The accompanying travel bag is particularly tear-resistant, so that it can also carry heavier contents without any problems. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any specific information on the sustainability of the product, but the selection of high-quality materials and the good workmanship indicate a certain longevity, which speaks in favour of sustainable use.

The carry-on suitcase with matching travel bag from COOLIFE has shown its strengths in practical tests, but also some minor weaknesses.
The handle stability is generally solid, which is particularly positive when carrying over short distances. However, the telescopic function occasionally hitches when taking it off, which is particularly annoying when you are travelling quickly, for example when boarding the train or on the way to boarding. Here we would like to see a smoother function, similar to that of high-quality suitcases, where the handle can be pulled out in one smooth movement.
Another plus point of the suitcase is its rolling behaviour: Thanks to the 360° swivelling wheels, the suitcase glides quietly over various surfaces. Whether at the airport on smooth floors or on cobblestones in the old town – the wheels work reliably and can be moved effortlessly in all directions, making travelling much easier.

The locking mechanism with integrated combination lock offers additional security. The combination lock provides a sense of security that is often lacking with conventional zips, especially when travelling and the suitcase needs to be left unattended, for example in hotels or luggage compartments.
The interior organisation of the case is also practical. The additional compartment makes it possible to store important small items such as cables, documents or toiletries separately, which keeps things organised, especially on longer trips. The matching travel bag is equipped with several compartments and is ideal for taking additional items with you without having to reach for the large suitcase. It is compact and functional, ideal for day trips or as an addition to hand luggage.

The case is also impressive in terms of material. The ABS plastic offers a robust shell that reliably protects the contents, even if the case is put on harder or has to withstand knocks.
Overall, the case offers a good mix of practical functions and solid construction, even if it could still be optimised in some details such as the telescopic function.
