Pocket Lumens! NEW Streamlight Wedge XT Everyday Carry Flashlight
If we asked you to do a “pocket dump,” what would be a part of your everyday carry (EDC) collection? Most people have the basics – keys, wallet, cellphone, maybe a CCW handgun – but fail to carry an EDC knife or flashlight. In terms of defense, an EDC flashlight is just as important as a handgun or knife. It is a tool for escalated situations to not only fix your truck on the side of the road, but also to blind Creeper McCreepyFace in the Mcdonald’s parking lot when you’re buying some chicken nuggies. For scenarios like your late-night chicken cravings and much more, the new Streamlight Wedge XT everyday carry flashlight will be right up your alley.

I’ve got the full size wedge and while it’s in my edc pack next to my Microtech, I’ve found the Olight Arkfeld to be a better option. It offers more modes of illumination and a really handy 5 lumen mode that can stay on for weeks.
Might be interested if it wasn't made in China like the rest of Streamlight's product line, but unfortunately, I'm sure it is.
