Having a flashlight near you at all times is an important part of a self-defense regimen.

Streamlight, Inc. is launching the new ultra-compact Pocket Mate, a weather-resistant, USB rechargeable personal flashlight that delivers 325 lumens with convenient hands-free features.

Dineen. “The Pocket Mate produces incredible lumens and beam distance for a light this size.”

On high mode, the Pocket Mate delivers 325 lumens, a 76-meter beam and a 20-minute run time; on low mode, it provides 45 lumens, a 28-meter beam and a run time of 1 hour. Both modes run for several hours of intermittent use.
