My Review of Essential Gear Guardian Signal Light
The Guardian signal light is lightweight, bright and easily seen during your (or your dog's) favorite outdoor activities—just clip it on and go!
Great on Paper, Terrible in Practice

What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven
Bought on Friday, returning on Monday. Bought as a PFD light since listed in Paddling Safety Gear. Seemed great - rated waterproof to 300 feet, small size etc. However, this device twists to turn on and to engage the o-ring, you have to twist it down all the way, so it is only waterproof when it is on. First time in the water, the clip came off the PDF attachment point as I was re-entering a canoe, but I caught it and put it in a PFD pocket. On Sunday, it was wet on the inside. Turned itself on once in the pocket. Don’t bet your life on this. Should not be listed as paddling safety gear.
