I have be hike and camp for 24 year now , and I have use many , many flashlight . since find the AA Mini mag Lite , however , it be the only one you 'll find in my pack . they be very tough and durable . on a recent trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness , I even use it submerge to look for a fellow camper 's eyeglass that have fall into the lake . while it be not design for underwater use -lrb- be only water resistant -rrb- , the lamp perform flawlessly . while nearly perfect , I will recommend pick up the accessory pack available for the AA Mini mag Lite . the accessory pack include a rubber cover for the lens end that help prevent the lamp from roll and also absorb some impact if drop . it also include a wrist strap with a split ring so you can keep it close at hand -lrb- I usually put the strap around my wrist when I slide into my sleep bag -- if I need to get up quickly during the night , the lamp be always at hand -rrb- . the accessory pack also include three plastic lens -- blue , red , and clear -lrb- the product description list a amber lens in palce of the clear one -rrb- . I have find the red one useful when I want to rummage through a pack when my tentmate have already turn in for the night . it give you illumination that be not as harsh as the non-filtered white light .
