I don’t have a problem with it. My wallet is medium size so maybe that helps. Usually the D4 rides at the bottom of the pocket, sometimes at the side vertically. This is when I’m not working. When I’m working, a knock around light shares that pocket with my keys. Ano be damned. Wallet gets moved to another spot. Sometimes my only light is a keychain light sharing a pocket with the wallet. All depends on where and when and what I’m doing. Always in left pocket though.
I can never get pocket clipped things to stay in place. I don’t know how you lot haven’t lost all your stuff, doing it that way.
At best, I can’t get my hand in the pocket with something like a knife or torch clipped on… and at worst, whatever is clipped just pops out the instant I sit down.
Clipped Inside front pocket. Right or left depending on what I’m doing at the time. Knife rides in the opposite pocket. Small wallet or money clip is always in the right front.
Clipped to the left front pocket. Right front pocket has keys and knife on a clip.
In the messenger bag is a astrolux FT02S. Yes I use it every day this time of year. It is dark when I go from my car to the building I work in and I am really tired of dodging cars. They can see me now.
Couldn’t agree more TK. I despise most pocket clips, and only more now this dumb trend has taken off.
The most hideous offenders are the afterthought clip-on ‘deep carry’ variety with too tight of a bend radius up top to allow any fabric passed… And just to make sure of that, they’ll add a lovely squared off ledge/riser that you have to get over… And all that only after you manually pry the bottom up to get it started because the super cool two-way design doesn’t have a stand off feature. :rage:
I take the clip off to reduce the size and put it in the smaller pocket on the right side (lighter/pocket watch/etc pocket in jeans). Keys go in the big pocket under that and a knife is clipped inside that bigger pocket too.
Left front is for the phone, rear right is for the wallet. Back left can be used for the work phone when I need to keep it on me.
There is minor variation when in dress clothes (a smaller light like the IYP365 in the jacket). If I carry open, then I move the flashlight and knife to the back pockets to keep them out of the way.
I like how your SC62w looks after all these years. It’s a great flashlight! I carried mine for about a year or so. My wife tried it out a couple years ago, loved it, and is now her flashlight. The only time I see it now is when the battery needs to be charged again.
Best guesses. Seat belt. Caught on pull over, jacket or T shirt…while crouching. Leaning against stuff, or climbing through brush.
I did notice the clip would rise on occasion, after setting or crouching. And the length of the knife ended up right on top of my leg when
crouching. Thinking leg pushed up on the knife and the suspension clip help guild it to freedom.
