The Streamlight Twin-Task Rechargeable TTR3C Camo Flashlight has served me well under all conditions. It doesn't produce a blinding light, but enough light to get the job done. The blue light is excellent for unobtrusive night movement in camp. I hate it when someone in camp has to move at 3am and turns on a 150 lumen flashlight to do it. Fully charged, the multi-mode light is probably between 80 to 90 lumens on white light. Between 40-50 lumens on blue or green modes.
The sturdy aluminum construction is a little heavier than the plastic flash lights. But the quality is worth the few extra ounces.
The original battery still performs well after 7 years. It will still work all night on the blue and green mode. I've never had the battery fail in one night on color mode. However, I'll probably pick up a spare soon.

I purchased both a right hand and left hand set of these holsters. Yes, I practice with both (but not at the same time). The sidearm is firmly secured in place when locked, yet releases smoothly when your index finger slides up the release latch. This holster holds the side arm a little lower and further from the body than a concealed carry holster, yet significantly higher than a drop-leg holster. They are exactly what I hoped they would be.

I'm an avid backpacker,hiker and camper. This was one of my best purchases. The staff at Optics Planet were very helpful with both product information and the purchase. Before you purchase online contact them. You won't regret it.

The PVS-14 Gen3 Alpha was delivered within three days of purchase even though the shipment was postponed one day to complete the Federal ITAR form. (Simply, who's going to use it, how will it be used and where will it be used).

I've already used it under multiple circumstances. On the trail with starlight and moonlight, a park with little ambient light and in a building with no ambient light. Under starlight and moonlight, you can see everything very clearly (under bushes, in trees, and in a variety of rough terrain). I used it in a park under cloudy night conditions with little ambient light. I couldn't see anything without the PVS-14 (except the faint outline of a couple of trees). Using the PVS-14 let me see everything pretty clearly, with a slight grainy picture due to the lack of light). I flipped on the IR and everything became crystal clear. I could easily recognize objects more than 100 meters from my observation position. In the building with no ambient light, I got a grainy, green, blank picture. When I flipped on the IR, I could see everything very clearly. I could easily walk around equipment and step over obstacles in complete darkness with no problem.

This purchase was everything that I had hoped it would be.
