Being a recent amputee, it is challenging finding products that do not add to my limited mobility. One day I was online looking for new luggage and I found RADEN through a Google search. After reading the specs, I decided to contact them to see their product first hand.
Once the luggage arrived, I felt like I received an early Christmas gift. I ordered the hunter green A28 Check suitcase ($395). I removed the suitcase from the shipping box (it was wrapped in a laundry bag) and studied the design. The outer is well crafted, beautifully designed, and moved with ease (see video). The gray interior is clean and the zippers are easy for us.
Upon future research of the product, I was impressed with the TSA-approved battery pack inside. The pack allows you to charge up to 2 cell phones. No more waiting for an outlet in the airport for me!
Next, I downloaded their app. Keep in mind, the app is only for iPhone users at the moment. Luckily, I own an iPad tablet. Once the app finished downloading, I registered my suitcase within the app. The app allowed me to activate the geo-tracking system embedded in the suitcase. Geo-tracking lets you know where your suitcase is located if it’s lost or stolen. Wow!
The other bonus was the built-in scale. Have you ever packed your suitcase and wondered if you met the 50lb weight limit? Me too! You do not have to worry about that anymore. The luggage system tells you how much your bag weighs by simply turning on the app, clicking the weight option and picking the bag up by the handle. The app tells you the exact weight.
The A28 moves with ease with the polyurethane tires on the bottom allowing you to transport with the 360-degree turns. I can now keep my sanity traveling to and from the airport with ease.
Purchase your RADEN luggage in a set of 2 (one check bag and one carry-on). The luggage is sold separately as well. This is a great investment. RADEN is amputee-approved.
