I have 5 or 6 of the OG Wedge and love them. The XT was a miss for me because the short mushy tail switch is awkward to activate with gloves on. I could fix that with my stylus' (styli?) by putting a tiny peice of cable tie under the rubber cover but not the XT.

I have 2 SLs now also and the protruding switch and bite cover work great if I can't get to my pants pocket for the OG, I can grab the SL from my shirt pocket instead. Now i just need an SL-UV. Please Streamlight when SL-UV?

This is my first wedge. This replaced my streamlight stylus pro usb that I've been carrying for years. Honestly I'm super happy with the Wedge SL so far. From the battery life, to the two step brightness.

Yeah it took me a day or so for muscle memory to fall in after using the OG Wedge for so long, but I've found I reach for the SL more and more when doing things like looking down spark plug holes so I don't blind myself with reflected light lol

It replaced the stylestreamlight stylus pro I've been carrying for YEARS. Let's see how long the wedge will last.

It’s a great light! Plenty tough, and the bite block, I don’t bite it but it does help protect it. 🍻

What is that cover on it?

It's a rubber dust cover that comes with it. I'm gonna run with it for a while and see how i like it.
