Recommendations for a good flashlight?

[Gr8 White Jr]

Do any of you have any recommendations for a good flashlight to carry in my pack while hunting for under $100? Brightness, battery life and weight are of high importance. Thanks for your input!

I got a pretty good one for free from the north American hunting club. I thought it was a junker and gave it to my son to play with. After I got my sight back from him blinding me, I hid it in my hunting pack, lol.

I have last years model but it's the best flashlight Ive owned. Ridiculously bright(115 lumens) small, lasts for ever, and only 3AAA's

It's nice because my headlamp uses AAA's so only need to carry AAA's.

They also sale a silver one for $20 that's the one I have.

I've got a Cabela's XPG flashlight that I have taken on every hunt I've been on for, wow, longer than I care to admit. I don't know if they even still sell them, but that has been as much an essential part of my pack as lighters and a space blanket since they came out. Mine is rechargeable, around 130 lumens and is as strong now as it was when I bought it 10 years ago.

Stinger by stream light. Rechargeable, bright, 3 level settings. I have one on my belt. Before season I charge it up and put it in my pacK

INova makes some great, bright lights. I have the t4 rechargeable and love it. Never have to buy batteries and it's like 225 lumens.

+ 1 comes with a car charger too. About $130 when I got mine. Streamlight super tac is also very bright if you want a battery version, about $80.

The Inova lights are awesome. I haven't used the Stinger, will have to check it out.

Black Diamond headlamps. I like the brightness when cranked up, but the dim feature is great when you have good night vision going and don't want to kill it. Also has red led, spot and flood settings. That packs a lot in a little unit. I have 2 and thats all I take when I leave the truck.
