Not if you have one with a weak point sewn into the loop. Not my first rodeo. I will say in 30 plus years I have never been close to that. Several friends do the same thing and they have been as long or longer than I. I always tuck mine into my undershirt.harrym wrote:That's a good way to accidentally strangle yourself.

I have a Sten coming and I am looking at getting either a couple of PT Quads or a couple of PT Eos' (or one of each) for secondary's. Does anyone know which of these is better as a backup (or whether one of each might be best)? Is the flood on the Eos sufficient? Is the flood on Quad better for a back up? Does the increase in Lumens on the Eos make up for the narrower beam pattern? I might use them for camping too as well. Thanks.
submassabielle wrote:NZCaver, Thank you for the reply. I realize that some of these newer lights might be better overall. However, I have a gift card for Scheels that I want to use, and they don't sell those lights. They do have the Corona, but for my secondary's, I have narrowed it down to these two (EOS or Quad) because they are lightweight, waterproof, and I can buy them with a gift card (which is good, because I just spent enough on my Stenlight).

This is a matter of opinion. What might work for you might not be the best solution for other cavers. Here is a differing opinion about having a pair of high quality, redundant lights on the helmet at all times.

No, it's not really a matter of opinion. You don't need a second light on your helmet that's as good as your primary.
