This is bar-none the best herping flashlight I have ever had...and I've tried numerous! Critters like reptiles and amphibians often come out at night and this flashlight is near perfect for finding them. The head can be flipped to point downward and the shoulder strap is hefty...freeing up another hand when needed. I love the options of having 20W/3.4hr or 9W/8.4hr, spot or flood. It is well-built, rugged, and weather-resistant. On the con side of things, it is very heavy (but also well balanced, and with a shoulder strap) and it takes some time (11-18 hours) to completely recharge. It is perhaps a bit pricey for "just a flashlight"...but then again, this is a really great, rugged flashlight in my opinion. I was only able to give it a 4/5 on usability because of the weight...but I can live with that for everything else it offers.

An excellent light and even at this price it is a good value for the money.
