Is nitrolon more scracth resistant than aluminium? Also, if it is less conductive, will it feel less cold in your hands or in the pockets?

nitrolon is my preference, but not many choices. Ken at strategos will be working on some polymer lights.

I have never experienced any damage to Nitrolon from heat. Please can you show me the links to threads that have this highlighted because it has passed me by.

still, i have trouble spending almost $100 for a G2 or $130 for a G2Z, for what is essentially a plastic flashlight. this is just personal preference though, so YMMV.
Apologies for the necropost, but wrt to the nitrolon vs. aluminum question, I'm wondering how nitrolon holds up in very col weather conditions, like down to O° F or colder? Would it get brittle and shatter if dropped in those conditions? Would an aluminum light fare any better?
Aluminum is excellent in the cold, in fact its tensile strength increases as it gets colder. It doesn't get brittle unlike plastics and certain steels.
