You usually only notice you have chosen the wrong travel luggage at the airport or during your first short trip. A suitcase turns out to be larger than permitted, a holdall has no useful compartments and a backpack quickly fills up when you also need to carry a laptop. Marketing terms such as “water-resistant”, “extra strong” and “universally suitable” do not always reflect what you get in practice.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I therefore focus mainly on measurable features: dimensions, materials, fastenings, compartment layout and how you intend to use the luggage.
An expandable suitcase provides extra space with a zip or expansion section. This is useful for souvenirs, but it also increases the external dimensions. Before setting off, check your airline’s permitted dimensions and weight allowance. A few extra centimetres can cause problems, especially with a cabin suitcase.
With a waterproof holdall or backpack, you need to check exactly what the manufacturer means. Water-repellent fabric may withstand light rain, but seams, zips and compartment openings can still be potential weak points. According to the Kono holdall’s product description, the nylon is water-resistant and the bag has a separate waterproof wet compartment. This does not automatically mean that the entire bag will remain watertight when submerged.
A suitcase with a TSA lock can be opened by authorised airport staff without forcing the lock. It is particularly practical for air travel to destinations where TSA inspections take place. The lock is not a guarantee against theft and does not replace suitable travel insurance or sensible packing.
Do not only look at the stated capacity in litres. Also check:
A hard-shell suitcase for checked luggage can generally be larger than a cabin suitcase, but the exact rules vary between airlines. According to the product details, the JOYFURNOS 24-Inch measures 55 × 36 × 20 cm and weighs 2.8 kg. The 28-Inch version measures 65 × 45 × 25 cm and weighs 4.2 kg. Use these measurements as a starting point and compare them with the current conditions for your flight.
A hard-shell suitcase protects its contents from knocks and holds its shape better. ABS is relatively lightweight and is often used for affordable hard-shell suitcases. However, pay attention to the overall construction: the corners, zips, telescopic handle and wheel attachments all affect how easy the suitcase is to use.
A nylon holdall is more flexible and can be stored away more easily. Check whether the base is reinforced, whether the zips close securely and whether the shoulder strap is adjustable. According to Kono’s product description, the bag is made from water-resistant nylon with reinforced seams and robust zips. These are product specifications, not a guarantee that wear and tear is impossible.
Four spinner wheels allow you to roll a suitcase in multiple directions. This is useful at stations, airports and on smooth hotel floors. Also check that the wheels turn freely enough and that the telescopic handle has several positions.
Separate compartments are practical for clothing and toiletries. A gym bag with a wet and dry compartment is suitable for swimwear, towels or sweaty sportswear. A separate compartment keeps damp items away from your dry clothes, but ideally you should not leave wet items sealed away for long periods.
Why it suits this profile: The compact size is suitable for short holidays and city breaks. The suitcase has a TSA lock, 360° spinner wheels and stated dimensions of 55 × 36 × 20 cm.
The stated external dimensions and weight of 2.8 kg make it easier to check everything in advance. However, bear in mind that expanding the suitcase may increase its dimensions.
ABS shell, TSA lock, separate internal compartments and four spinner wheels.
Why it suits this profile: This larger suitcase is intended for longer holidays or checked luggage. It measures 65 × 45 × 25 cm and has a stated empty weight of 4.2 kg.
The product information states the dimensions, a maximum static load of 15 kg and a warning not to fill the suitcase beyond the internal dimensions.

Why it suits this profile: This holdall is suitable for sports, a weekend trip or an overnight stay. The bag has an expandable capacity of 36 litres, a separate wet compartment and a trolley sleeve.
The wet compartment separates damp items from dry contents. According to the product information, the water-resistant nylon fabric is suitable for light exposure to moisture; the bag is not automatically completely waterproof.
36 litres of expandable space, separate wet compartment, cosmetic case and trolley sleeve.
Why it suits this profile: The product name states that it has room for a 15.6-inch laptop, an external USB port, multiple compartments and a water-resistant design. This makes it suitable for commuting and business travel.
The compartment layout keeps your laptop, documents and everyday essentials organised instead of moving loosely around one large compartment. Before buying, check the exact dimensions of your laptop and how the USB connection works.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Check the following points before ordering your travel luggage:
When buying a new suitcase, also pay attention to the lock. According to the product information, the standard code on the JOYFURNOS models is 0-0-0. Reset the code before use and store the new combination somewhere safe.
For a weekend trip, a weekend bag, compact holdall or expandable travel backpack is often sufficient. A suitcase with wheels is more convenient when you will be walking a lot on paved surfaces. A bag with a trolley sleeve can be combined with a larger suitcase.
Its lifespan depends on how it is used, how heavily it is packed, how it is stored and how it is transported. Do not overfill a suitcase, do not pull a bag by its zip and do not leave damp clothing sealed inside for long periods. Pay particular attention to the wheels, seams, handles and zips if you use your luggage regularly.
No, a TSA lock is not generally compulsory. However, it can be practical for air travel because authorised inspectors can open a suitable lock. Always check the luggage rules for your destination and carrier.
