What is the best 1x123 light for outdoor use with gloves

[Valmet62]

Looking for a dual mode single 123 light to use with gloves. What would be a good option ?

Thanks

My vote goes to a Surefire E1B and my question to you would be what type of glove, heavy winter or thin tactical?

I have a Surefire L1 (Cree) that I use during pre-dawn outdoor workouts with gloves. Highly recommended. You might also consider the E1L (Cree), which has slightly less output but flatter, longer regulated runtime and also has a clickie tailcap instead of a twistie (which the L1 has). Both have great gnurling and are easy to grip with or without gloves. Depending on how thick your gloves are, you might find a clickie easier to deal with than a twistie.

My little Zebra H30 is pretty good.

Surefire L1 Cree.

Take care

I cannot grip flashlights well due to arthritis. I purchased an E1B but could not handle it very well so I did a lego that works for me and I would think that it would work well with gloves.

I took the head from the E1B and put it on an E1E and replaced one cell with a dummy cell. What I have now is a great night walking light that I can grip without any problems. During my evening walks I use the low setting the majority of the time.....works great!
