Quality Materials High quality aluminum, Tactical black with a soft touch urethane coating Our iconic defend torches are made from High Strength Aluminium, coloured in tactical black and has a soft touch urethane coating surface providing maximum grip. Using aluminum has many advantages; it gives a sturdy and durable torch, that can withstand being used.

A solid silicone touch switch, highly efficient optics, ripped ergonomic handle ensuring you a firm grip. All of the things combined is what makes a Suprabeam. Protective Lens The defend series come as a standard with two lenses. One is placed just above the LED to increase the effect of the optics and provide a powerful 5-degree spotlight. The other one is placed between the LED and top cap. This gives the torch an extra layer of protection, and is easy to exchange in case of wear and tear. Especially if used in dessert terrain, with possible occurrences of sandstorms, the lens can get frosted and give blurred beam over time. This way you can quickly replace the outer lens or add a colour filter just by unscrewing the head.
