Test result preview
With its travel bag, the manufacturer Redolz delivers a very good product overall, which was completely convincing in our practical test. We can show that the travel bag offers a tear-resistant and stable material quality as well as a high-quality finish. We also found the product to be practical and suitable for everyday use. The comfortable carrying handles and the quiet and smooth-running wheels emphasise the overall clever and well thought-out product design. Thanks to the many different colours and sizes offered by the manufacturer, there is also a look to suit every taste. The only thing we would like to see from the manufacturer is more detailed information on sustainability. Overall, however, the product impresses in our practical test with a very good rating. We see the product as a practical enrichment for large and small journeys that impresses with its quality and reliability .

The first impression
Packaging and contents
Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The travel bag from the manufacturer Redolz arrives in compact packaging. Wrapped in film to save space, it is sent in a brown cardboard box. Thanks to an additional cardboard insert, this box can be opened with a knife without hesitation, which means that product protection is fully guaranteed . In terms of sustainability , it might be desirable to consider an alternative choice of material for the wrapping.
As stated in the product description, the travel bag is supplied without any additional accessories. Instructions for use are also not included or required as the product is self-explanatory. However, there is a small info card on one of the zips that provides additional information about the product, the manufacturer and customer service. Overall, the product makes a good first impression.

Even on a second, closer look, the Redolz travel bag makes a very positive impression overall. For our test, we received the travel bag in black colour and size L. The manufacturer also offers different sizes and colours so that there is a suitable bag for almost every customer. The simple yet modern design makes an appealing impression.
The workmanship is high quality and flawless. Even on closer inspection, no open or faulty seams can be discovered. The material is also without any recognisable defects. It appears very stable and robust. Parts such as the zips, the wheels and the carrying handles also appear solid and confidence-inspiring overall, giving the impression of a reliable product. The only thing we have to criticise is sustainability. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any further information about the product, even though the good workmanship and high-quality materials suggest a long service life.

In our practical test, the travel bag from the manufacturer Redolz was convincing without any restrictions.
As we had already surmised during our visual inspection, the high material quality of the travel bag was impressive in the practical test. The material appears very durable and tear-resistant, which we were able to test and confirm with various loads. At the same time, the stretchable parts of the bag are sufficiently flexible and comfortable to use.
The load capacity of the carrying handles is also remarkable. Even with a fully loaded bag, we could not find any restrictions or weak points. All carrying handles (side, top and extendable metal handle) appear stable and enable reliable and safe transport.
We also found the product to be user-friendly and comfortable to use. The lightly padded handles are comfortable to hold. The castors are pleasantly quiet and smooth-running on a suitable surface .
The zips also impressed us in our test. When opened and closed several times, the zips glide smoothly back and forth without jamming.
As is usual with travel bags, the Redolz bag also has a large inner compartment with plenty of storage space. The bag also has two smaller compartments for storing all kinds of luggage separately. The bottom compartment found in other versions of this bag is unfortunately missing. However, as it is offered by the manufacturer in other versions, this version is aimed at customers who prefer an even more compact version. Thanks to the different colours and sizes, the manufacturer offers good flexibility for the customer. We therefore consider the travel bag to be sensibly and cleverly designed.
Overall, the manufacturer’s product is a modern piece of luggage with a simple design, which was absolutely convincing in terms of quality and workmanship in our test. The product therefore deservedly receives a very good rating in our practical test, which does justice to this practical travelling aid.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €129.99 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €49.99 . The travel bag from Redolz is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €59.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
