Well I finally own a decent flashlight. It's the Maratac 9290 from County Comm. This is my first flashlight of its kind and when purchasing it I didn't give much thought to different ways to carry it. I don't plan on babying it but I want it to stay in good condition. Is a sheath needed? I'm worried about the lens getting scratched up by stuff in my pocket or sand that might get in their while sliding down a hill. If a sheath is a good idea does anyone have any recommendations? I would like something that can close on the top and go on a belt while not being too bulky to fit in a pants pocket. Thanks.
