Strengths & Trade-offs
Strengths
- Built-in USB-C charging eliminates the need for a separate charger. Just plug in with a standard cable — the same one you use for your phone.
- The moonlight mode (sub-1 lumen) is perfect for checking maps at night, reading in a tent, or navigating without destroying your dark-adapted vision.
- Electronic lockout prevents accidental activation in a bag or pocket — no more dead batteries from phantom drain.
Trade-offs
- No pocket clip is included — you'll need a holster or aftermarket clip for secure carry.
