Many thanks at this point to Tennis-Point , who also provided us with this travel bag free of charge for testing and raffle - there must be so much time!

And now let's start with the description:

Appearance & Design

The Team Xplorer from Babolat is brand new to the range and it is - guess what - black.

The turquoise decorative stitching catches your eye as a small splash of color. The white Babolat logo shown in various places interrupts the black tone in one place or another in a very pleasant and airy way.

Basic features & trolley on the run

The material is polyester and together with the color black, the travel bag is an easy-care and durable companion .

Now to the telescopic handle - unfortunately it wobbles quite a bit on our test sample, but it can basically be adjusted in two stages. Overall, the telescopic handle doesn't seem as high-quality as we've seen with other travel bags. TennisTraveller here , because after all, the telescopic handle is one of the "key features" of a travel trolley. As with the other bags, the wheels very stable and well integrated into the solid base .

The fully reinforced base of the travel bag offers good stability - two plastic strips contribute to even better stability.
The handle on the side of the telescopic handle is really clever for lifting the bag. The bag can be practically closed on the outside using fastening straps.

Size, dimensions and weight

The Babolat Team Xplorer is the smallest of the travel bags we tested. The basic dimensions in brief: 76cm long, 40cm wide and 37.5cm high. The volume of the travel bag is 92 liters , not a huge bag, but still well suited for small luggage.

The bag weighs 2.85 kilos unloaded.

When the travel bag is opened using the two-way zipper, the fresh, turquoise inner lining . no real separation options or compartments inside the bag - the interior is actually a large hole. The packaged goods can be secured using two rubber straps in the lower third of the bag. Two struts in the lower area that can be clicked in and out provide more stability. A small zippered pocket contains a small Babolat bag that you can possibly use for shoes - as long as they are not too big.

In the lid of the bag there is a zip pocket made of mesh over the entire surface - certainly very practical for dirty laundry.

From the outside there is a single pocket at the top, which is quite deep but not wide and is therefore only suitable for flatter items.
