Surefire G2 LED Review: Long Term Report

Well, it's official, I'm in love with an inanimate object. I have found myself to be almost inseparable from this flashlight. I take it with me EVERYWHERE! It's brightness never ceases to amaze me and it has survived several close encounters with concrete and come away with only some minor cosmetic damage.

I am really beginning to recognize the usefulness of having a powerful yet compact flashlight lying around. In situations where I used to sneer in frustration over not having sufficient light, I am now dutifully equipped with a superior piece of gear. The G2 has accompanied me on countless night hikes, low-light paddles, and after-dark shooting sessions. It even helped me when I had a mechanical emergency on a local highway at dusk. As the temperature dropped below freezing, the light provided some much-needed illumination to the damaged undercarriage of my vehicle while the tow-truck driver was attempting to load and secure it on his flatbed hauler (you'd think a tow-truck driver would have a good flashlight!). Needless to say, my initial interest in an recreational light for kayaking has evolved into a broader fascination with performance LED devices.

Stay tuned for more reviews and information about flashlights and other gear for kayakers. I have a lot more in works.
