   overall this is a good flashlite holster. However after wearing on my belt for a year the binding on the belt loop breaks down. There isn’t a real good way to repair so I just order a new one when the belt loop has detoriated to a point that I fear loosing the flashlite.

   I carry a Streamlight Protac HL flashlight for my work in construction. This holster is the best one I’ve found to carry it, but that isn’t saying much. I’m about to order my sixth one. It does the job, but they don’t last long – generally about a year and a half with almost daily use. I’m not rough on them; I’m actually quite careful with my gear, so my experience is probably a best-case scenario. Pros: – Lightweight. – Protects lens and body of flashlight. – Has opening in bottom so dirt and debris don’t collect there. Cons: – Velcro flap closure quickly wears out and loses its stickiness. – Belt loop is prone to tearing away from back of holster when stitching fails. – Price keeps going up, with no corresponding increase in quality. The photo shows one of these holsters at the end of its life, after about 18 months of regular, gentle use. Belt loop is tearing off, velcro no longer sticking. I wish Streamlight would come up with a more durable version of this, perhaps with a snap closure instead of velcro, and better stitching to secure the belt loop. They do make a rugged-looking “Duty Holster” that might be suitable for law enforcement use, but it provides little protection for the flashlight body and none for the lens. Streamlight, are you listening? You make a great flashlight, now how about a decent holster? You can do better than this.

   If the tail cap switch is activated while holstered the cover flap can melt with small hole in the top. I missed this only after the heat generated got my attention. This is no fault of the holster.

   Seems to shrink and then flashlight unable to securely fit in this holster. Worked for a couple months only until it eventually shrunk and now Velcro won’t close. Will definitely be looking for another brand

   Does not fit the Protac HL USB. I’ll have to use this for a different light than the one I ordered it for.
