Who likes what for head lights when wet suiting. The one I have has been decent for wader fishing but I plan to spend most of the summer in the wet suit.
I have a dive light that I wear around my neck that seems to work ok but sucks to hold in my mouth when trying to unhook huge fish.....
Underwater Kinetics Vizion has held up well for me so far.

The Rayovac that I've been using for years is (of course) discontinued. Best light I've ever had. Outlasted back-up lights used on off-set trips > go figure < Looking at the Pelican 2720 right now...may give it a try. The sensory feature sounds interesting. "Water-Resistant" is normally sufficient for my wet-suiting needs, I've taken uncountable waves over the head, Rayovac keeps ticking, let's hope the Pelican has a good seal.
I actually have the opposite problem that you do...I have a much harder time taking off the small ones,,, day or night....:fishin:....Happy Hooking!!!
Sorry, I know that didn't help much, Like you... I guess I'm interested in what others are using (w/success) lately....gotta remember, they aren't going to make them bullet-proof though - because they need you coming back for more every few years...

What JLH said... UK VIZION and the search is over.
I have destroyed at least 15 lights and was on a first name basis with the princeton tec warranty dept. woman for their "waterproof tactical light" which
was replaced 5 times... never lasted a season.
trust me... UK vizion... or you will be posting the same question after whatever other light you buy dies

Tape a football mouth guard to the dive light all headlamps have issues. Light in the wrong place etc.

Do you have to cycle through all the light settings with the UK vision each time you use it?

No cycling at all... its push-on, push off. If you want red light you have to physically turn a cylinder which moves a red filter over the light... so if you want, it can be red all the time.
