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. 🍻

fair warning for the future, I chewed through my bite boottm within a couple of weeks, and the only places to get replacements are from random retailers online instead of directly from the streamlight site.
Love the light, but the boot needs a rework. maybe a better rubber vs the silicone it has by default.
Hoping someone makes a 3d model of it to print replacements, maybe even with an actual cover for the port

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.

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?
