Product Spotlight: Digitac II
I went camping last month up the Umpqua River in southern Oregon to a remote area near Toketee Reservoir. The scenery was beautiful – crystal lake, rocky mountain peaks in the distance and dense, deep forests. We camped for several days without running water and many of those other niceties that make campground camping easier. At night, the forest’s density made it incredibly dark, which meant trapsing through the forest was difficult at best after 5:30pm.
Luckily, I had what has become my favorite flashlight to date – the Digitac II, model LL7847. This really is one of the best little flashlights you can have with you in the great outdoors. Named Wired Magazine’s Editors choice in 2007, this flashlight is as bright as a C cell battery-powered light but only uses a single AA battery. The 1.25 watt LED pumps out an incredible amount of bright light thanks to Coast’s Prism Reflector System. The form factor is a demure 4 inches long making it easy to pack with you in a pack or a pocket. I’ve had mine for over a year and have found it invaluable on multiple occasions. It is priced right at $39.99, a great gift for dad before hunting season or to yourself for your Labor Day plans.
