Sheath for the Surefire E1B Backup?

[jackman2]

I love this light, but I am kind of worried about losing it, especially in the woods. Vines have a tendency to pick pocket me. Luckily I have only lost cheap fishing forceps. But I fish a lot around dusk and being stranded in the woods at night without a light could be a big problem.

I was looking at the Maxpedition 4" flashlight sheath, but was worried it might be too big.

Anyone have this light? Or this sheath? Thoughts.

I have the sheath and a Surfire Outdoorsman.

I can take some pictures if you want.

The sheaths aren't to bulky but are sturdy and versatile.

A single cell light will fit nicely.

The top strap can be adjusted.

I hope this is the sheath you are talking about!

Wow. Thank you very much. That is exactly what I wanted to see. It seems like it is perfect. The Backup is smaller I think than the Outdoorsman, but it looks like it will fit very nicely.

Awesome. Very much appreciated sir.

I think your sheath is actually the knife / tool sheath. The light sheath is not tapered at the bottom and lacks the adjustable cover. However, my light has the clip in the opposite direction and would be carried lens down. Might not fit in the bottom of this one. I don't see the need for the adjustable cover, as my light is only 4 ". It also has a grommet at the bottom, which would allow you to shine a tiny stream of light when sheathed, an interesting feature I think. Imagine turning it on so people could see you when walking around camp at night. Similar size though and I figure I will spring for it. Also getting a rollypoly as well, in my mind, one of the best pouches Maxpedition makes.

Thanks again for the pics.
