Thyrm continues to innovate with the release of two new additions to its popular SwitchBack flashlight accessory line: the SwitchBack 3.0 Duty and the SwitchBack 3.0 Deep Carry. Designed to enhance flashlight control and retention, these new models cater to both duty professionals and civilians who demand reliability in their lighting solutions.
Enhanced Flashlight Control and Retention
The SwitchBack 3.0 Duty is built for rugged, high-intensity environments, making it ideal for military, law enforcement, and search and rescue professionals. Its larger diameter finger ring accommodates patrol gloves, ensuring a secure grip even in wet conditions.
Heavy-duty construction enhances impact resistance, while additional traction features improve control. A shortened clip allows for improved pouch compatibility, and a full-size lanyard hole supports 550 paracord for added security.
The SwitchBack 3.0 Deep Carry delivers an ergonomic and low-profile solution for those seeking a discreet carry option. Featuring a premium steel wire clip, this model offers a low visual signature and a comfortable carry experience.
The two-position clip enables users to customize the ride height, ensuring quick access to the tailcap switch while keeping the flashlight discreetly tucked away.
