Here you go. The fabric of the soft amenity kit feels like a sort of plastic.

And here's the inside, without the red socks which are already "decommissioned"

Doesn't look like anything to get excited about, but tastes differ. Bring back the Qwestion bags any day who looked way better and were of very decent make quality. The metal can/ casing, well other than stamping a Victorinox logo on it is pretty unimaginative. YMMV.

With the new amenity kits, do they still offer Beanies/Neck warmer?

No. The Victorinox bag / box replaced the winter accessories.

I really wish theyd go back to the old amenity kits in F. They are hard to describe but theyre basically like the current amenity kits but shapeless. I enjoyed them because the lack of structure made them good for use as a misc bagcan stuff a ton of chords or make up, etc.

The new F kits are at least as big as the old ones, some are larger & most I got are shapeless, so what is preventing the previous use ?

All of the F kits I've received on LX since June 2017 have been this:


I miss this:



And I'm not sure it's a slam dunk case that the current ones are larger than the older ones...

Also I appreciate the womens hairbrush (you need a lot of space between the bristles to brush long hair after sleeping). But The mens comb doesn't make any sense; I think it legitimately doesn't work and looks moronic. I've also never seen anyone use it.

I haven't received the shapeless ones in ages. Are they still floating around? I would kill for more of those.

The shapeless one looks like crap after a few uses. Also my kids love the wodden combs I think there are cool, but useless for adults.

Yes, they are, I had some recently. But certainly not worth doing anything drastic for

I think they are pretty crappy period, much prefer Rimowa...

Do your kids actually use them as combs ? they dont look like they would be kind to ones hair....
