    5.11 Tactical RUSH 12 and 24 Backpack (MOLLE/PALS compatible) Review

    I would second the straps being a bit thin fully loaded, also the bag itself is quite heavy so gets heavy quickly once you start to load it up.

    Olight S15R (XM-L2, 1x14500/AA) Rechargeable + Dock Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES+

    I think selfbuilt is saying the later models have a higher cut off voltage. More capacity in would take longer.

    Olight S15R (XM-L2, 1x14500/AA) Rechargeable + Dock Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES+

    I bought the extension tube separately for my S15R, for use with AA NiMH if the single li-ion goes flat

    Olight S15R (XM-L2, 1x14500/AA) Rechargeable + Dock Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES+

    Agreed, at the time I bought the S15 I an not sure there smaller units were out? I have had a P25 for a long time which I find great, and just uses the now common USB micro.

    Olight S15R (XM-L2, 1x14500/AA) Rechargeable + Dock Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES+

    I use mine everyday and touch wood no problems. I have the same requirement for a smaller charging dock for mobile use the base is bulky compared to what you need. If I could get a second dock cheap I would likely try to trim it down.

    Olight S15R (XM-L2, 1x14500/AA) Rechargeable + Dock Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES+

    I find in normal use the S15 lasts for weeks or months between needing a charge, and you always have the AA option if you get desperate so the cradle to charge is not an issue. It's not massive either, mine fits nice in my USB charging bag with other stuff I carry around. I have not used the...

    5.11 Tactical RUSH 12 and 24 Backpack (MOLLE/PALS compatible) Review

    Lightyearsahead - I don't think the rush 24 is the bag for you. I have a rush 24 I use everyday, it's tough and copes well with being bashed around on transport but this makes it heavy. There really is no comparison with say an osprey talon, that is 500g to the rushes 1600g or so. Even to and...

    *new* Nitecore TM36 Lite: compact upgrade

    Looking at the TM36 battery pack seems to suggest its maybe 8x 18650 internally anyway? Seems compact solution in the lite, but as noted above not very ergonomic potentially...

    Olight S15R (XM-L2, 1x14500/AA) Rechargeable + Dock Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES+

    Great review as always, just ordered one of these to replace my original S10 as the redesigned switch looks much better, and the charging dock is really handy for a light I have in my pocket every day to top up once a week. Just hope I get the revised charger...

    5.11 Tactical RUSH 12 and 24 Backpack (MOLLE/PALS compatible) Review

    Tester88, if it helps I bought a 12 and returned it for a 24. It can be big loaded out but not overly so, when with light loaded the straps pull it down thin and you can add tier straps if you feel the need to compress the bottom more. I am same height as you, would not worry about the look but...

    5.11 Tactical RUSH 12 and 24 Backpack (MOLLE/PALS compatible) Review

    Great review, the internet appreciates your efforts, people think free stuff is an easy ride but it's a lot of effort to write a review like this in my opinion with photos etc Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

    Sunwayman D40A - Another 4AA compact thrower

    Did the price at doingoutdoors go up, or am I missing some sort of discount code? Usually use fasttech, but since all their prices are now fixed by manufacturers don't mind going elsewhere, not going to pay $80 though...

    srt

    As a photographer I would find the low red/green output perfect for checking camera settings without affecting night vision, and the high white output useful for painting a scene with light and other creative affects. I say would, as I missed the news on this model and bought a P25 last month...
