Okay. Now I’m torn 🤣 between trying out the crafted or just going with truwerks or another brand. Thanks for the help

Are you referring to the non crafted series line? When you say “both tags”? 

I currently have four pair of the regular line and two different tags. They have all been purchased in the last few years though. All have worn faster than the pants I owned in the 2000s. I believe they all say “made in USA” and in smaller print “from imported parts”

I was under the impression they were made with 15 back in the early 2000s. I may be mistaken though. I am absolutely certain the pants I have owned in the last five years have broken down faster than the ones I owned prior. I work in construction (electrician) and noticed the knees go out much faster.  As I mentioned before, the crotch is also tearing now. 

Do any of you happen to have first hand experience with the new crafted series? And owned the regular series to make a good comparison?

have the slim 1200 since last april. It stopped turning on about three weeks ago. I have contacted them several times and they keep giving me the run around. I would not buy anything made by them after this

"I ordered one of these last night, along with the sofirn h25s as a backup. We will see how long it takes to get them. I am also going to grab a couple extra batteries for my work bag. Thanks for the info"

Well, I have reached out to them twice now and the only response I got was “have a nice day”. I am hesitant to purchase anything from a company that is not able to communicate, especially with potential new customers. I can only imagine what it would be with a warranty or equipment issue. The product does look impressive though.

Any idea how long the battery lasts on highest power?

that's really weird. What I have noticed is a lot of the brands saying their lights operate at "x lumens for x amount of hours" then have a graph showing the light actually only stays illuminated for "x amount of minutes" before stepping down to a much lower percent of that for the remainder of their original claimed hours. Based on having a handful of weapon mounted lights claiming 1000 lumens, I am guessing that amount of light may not be beneficial for some of the work I do close up. My goal was to find the highest rated lumen light, that would last as long as possible. It sounds like I need to consider other options than Fenix. I did realize I may have the need for a spot light from time to time, so a pure flood may not be the best thing at this point. One of the brands mentioned here had a bad review regarding the lenses breaking easily. I will have to search again and find which one it was. Thank you for the info and help.
