Can anyone recommend an LED torch that is as slim as the Maglite Solitaire to keep in the side pocket of a Leatherman Charge pouch? I've a couple of cheap AAA LED torches and they are all a fair bit thicker than the solitaire.

I am wondering if the Fenix E01 fits?

Thanks,

Mark
 
I just put a caliper on a Solitaire, Fenix E01, and Arc AAA. The Arc is basically the same OD as a Solitaire, and the Fenix is 1/16" to 1/32" larger OD. I just tried all of them in the little elastic side pocket/sleeve of my Charge holster, and they all three fit. The Fenix is the tightest of course, but the Charge still fit in ok. I think you'll be happy with the Fenix. IMO the Arc AAA-P is the better light, but it isn't 3x-4x better, but it does cost 3x-4x more.
 
The E01 fits fine. If you need more light, the Fenix L0D fits as well. In my pouch, things are a little tight, but I would expect the side pocket to loosen up after a while.
 
Also if you want more room, Nite Ize pock-its XL work nice;

I got mine at harbor freight for like 9 bucks.
dohh but your in UK!

multitool.org is talking about doing a group thing (international too)

I recently purchased the Leatherman Serac S2 LED to fit with my Charge... The light is made by Fenix to leatherman specs and fits just right in the charge pouch along with bit kit and bit extender... The Maglite Solitaire can't hold a candle to the new Leatherman light:D Here's a pic...

Does the pouch have one of those slots in the back or in the flap? A cheap Garrity LED keychain light fits in there (it's flat, about the size of a stick of gum).

My leather LM Charge pouch has both a flat elastic pocket in the back of the sheath (I use it for spare bits in a holder) and two pouches in the elastic sides of the pouch, each just big enough for an Arc AAA or Fenix E01 sized light.
 
Changing the subject slightly.
I use a rubber strap to hold a mini maglight on a Leatherman Kick.
