I have a CO-153 that just fits two lights I need sheaths for. You have to be sure to shove it all the way in, and there's maybe a half inch of Velcro overlap. Doable, but not confidence inspiring.

I know for sure that in this size range there are two Ripoffs that have the same body size, but one has a longer tab. Does anyone know for sure if the 153 has a cousin with a longer tab?

Edit: Okay, here's another way to look at it. Will someone who knows for sure they have a CO-181 mind measuring the body length and posting it here?

Thanks :)

You've already figured it out. The CO-181 is the same size as the CO-153, but with a longer flap. On each the pouch is 5¼" long. On the 181 the part above the pouch to the end of the flap is 1" longer.

The 153 fits the A2 and the 181 fits the U2 due to the longer flap.

Strangely enough, Ripoffs own website lists the CO153 for the U2. The CO181 is a much better fit. CO181 is for 6 to 6.25 lights. CO153 is for 5.5 to 5.75 lights. U2 stands 6.125 tall. I have a CO181, but mostly carry my U2 clipped to left front pocket.
