Hey everyone!
My local Streamlight/Surefire dealer recently started carrying Coast lights. In the usual "new product" fashion, they are really pushing these lights over other brands (Streamlight, ASP, and even Surefire). I looked up the Coast website, and they have some pretty cool models and claim to have a decent warranty.
Does anyone have any experience with these lights? Are they durable? What brand would you compare them to with regard to quality?
Thanks!
I have owned Coast lights and while they were certainly functional, I would never recommend a Coast light over a Surefire, Streamlight, Elzetta, Olight or any other tactical light.
They do have some more original designs that I at least could find useful under certain circumstances even if I would more likely carry something better, but at least there are places it would be acceptable.
I think that they think of themselves as competitive with Surefire and Streamlight. They aren't. They are overpriced when compared to their actual competition.
