v5 Triple BOSS Flashlight (Bright Output Small Size)

[Stoneking]

Honestly, I'm not sold. I was looking forward to possibly picking up a Copper 70 this next time around but I don't really care for the new style bezel.

I'm sure we'll be able to order them separately. I don't like the looks of the bezel on the copper and brass, but am sold on the Satin Black and Patina. Gives them a very rugged look IMHO

Update
Cren rings did not make 'ship ready' for tomorrow. But rather than delay the whole launch or make a mini insider, will still be introduced tomorrow. They should be ready to ship later this month.

I think it disrupts the consistent and harmonious design of the BOSS.

I agree, but I would love a SS smooth bezel that matches the original design.

 

[U2v5]

I tend to like the scalloped head design and see some complementary structure visible in the triad style tail.

🤔

I like the original bezel myself, particularly as I just had a "tactical" pen taken away by a zealous TSA agent (the fact that it was brass / dense showed up on their scan). I'll start carrying a self addressed stamped envelope to mail stuff home....

I like the look of the crenelated bezel myself. However, I think it needs to be made of the same metal and have the same finish as the rest of the light.

 

[Tejasandre]

Let me know if its the switch or not, we'll get you fixed up either way!

Hey there, been using the other body for a week or two, problem has not presented itself. Looks like it may be the switch.

I was hoping to order the crenelated bezels even though they are not ready to ship. Any word when they and the black BOSS clips w/screws can be ordered? Thanks.



EDIT: Found my answer after fully reading the insider.

Got myself a vintage copper combo with amber [emoji5]

I just perused the copper and brass BOSS lights recently posted on the Oveready site. Maybe I'm the only person with this opinion, but I'm not really crazy about the "distressed finishes" that seem to have become the standard. I realize that a tumbled finish helps hide blemishes picked up from pocket carry. But I would prefer something that didn't start off looking like it was already heavily used.

When you buy a new car you always dread that first scratch. However, I think most of us would be upset if we went to pick up a new car and the dealership had pre-scratched the paint so we wouldn't have to worry about messing it up ourselves.

pictures!

They are on the Oveready site now. A new Insider was also just sent out and has some really nice photos.

 

[archimedes]

Those new beads are pretty cool ...

 

[xdayv]

I like the vintage look!

 

[mk2rocco]

I love the delrin caps!

 

[Exeter354]

Those new beads are pretty cool ...

And could those Ti beads foreshadow a Ti BOSS soon perhaps?
