Streamlight's New SL-SideSaddle Compact Headlamp

I’m already a huge fan of Streamlight for their ProTac Rail Mount and TLR-1 series of weapon lights. As far as the more “budget” options go, I’ve found that Streamlight products offer a great combination of price, performance, and durability when compared to some of the more well-known or higher-end brands in the lighting market. Streamlight is excited to announce their new SL-SideSaddle compact headlamp. This headlamp is designed to mount to a wide variety of headgear, including regular hats, hard hats, and bump helmets, without interfering with visors, hearing protection, or other head-mounted accessories.
