Hey, I just joined this site intending to find what I am looking for and just spent a bunch of time using the search button. Nevertheless, here's my first post. I am living in CA, work as a H.S. teacher and travel a fair amount as well. I am looking for a 300 Lumen+ flashlight for travel carry that can double as a blinding device day or night if I am in a tight jam. Something that could fit in a deep pocket, something that uses CR batteries or something I can carry more of for traveling where I can't easily get to power. Also, something that is instant on with full power. Money is not a real issue unless it's over $400. High water resistance would be great as it will get really wet, maybe even submerged briefly, and shock resistance to for travel (caving, climbing, etc... and I suppose hitting someone with the bezel if necessary). I've been to Fenix, Surefire and Streamlight's sites and searched here. Right now I would thin, the top contenders are the Fenix PD32, Fenix UC35, Fenix PD35, Streamlight Protac 2L, however I think people here will know more and be able to bring in new ideas or narrow my choices down. Thanks so much.
