Compact, rugged, and aa - Nitecore MT1A CREE XP-G2 R5 Multi-Task Compact Flashlight

My sole intention in purchasing the Nitecore MT1A was to acquire an EDC flashlight that was rugged, compact, and which ran on AA batteries. This fits the bill beautifully. Take couple minutes to get used to the mode-selection button on the tail cap ... The rest is as simple as it gets. A great light for EDC, emergency preparedness, camping etc. I like mine so much that I plan on getting one or two more for my car & home.
