Surviving the Elements
Neither rain nor sleet nor snow... You get the idea—SureFire delivers.
| Defender Dazzles Doctor |
As an ER doctor, I have been using a SureFire yellow G2® Nitrolon® for years at work, checking pupils, looking at wounds, etc, and I've always found its bright, dependable light amazingly useful. However, I really developed a new appreciation for my SureFire flashlights this spring, over Easter weekend here in St. Paul.
It snowed about a foot over three days, and during all the shoveling I did, my original (and favorite) SureFire, an E2D Defender® fell out of my jacket pocket without me noticing. Five days later, after worrying that my light had been picked up by a passerby or otherwise lost somewhere else, I found it. Our Jeep was parked on it in the snow/ice/mud, and had driven it completely into the goo, where it had endured the freeze/thaw of a Minnesota spring for a week. I'd read on your website all about SureFires stopping bullets or going through snow blowers, but I can't tell you how great the feeling was to hit the clicky tailcap of my own light and see it fire right up.
Now, after cleaning it off, it's right back in my now buttoned coat pocket. I can't wait to add an E1B Backup™ to my current stable of SureFire flashlights (two G2s, an E2D, a Kroma®, and a 6P® LED), as it looks like a real winner. Thanks for the great tools!
