Do any of you guys use waterproof flashlights? I mean waterproof, not water resistant. Some of you may own boats and go out in salt water or hunt and fish and can recommend a good water proof flashlight. It doesn't have to be for a bike, or be able to land aircraft at an airport. I figured this would be the place to ask. Thanks

I've ridden in the rain several times with my P7, and have never had an issue with it. It's described as waterproof and shockproof.

I have favored lights made by Streamlight. They are tough , waterproof and in most cases very corrosion resistant. Having worked in emergency services for more than 35 years these are the lights we usually use. Yes, I know there are others however these are tried and proven over the long haul. Aluminum gets cold in the winter and transfers the cold to your hands. Some plastics just don't hold up. Try the Steamlight web site. These are lights made for emergency personel that work.
