Streamlight Polytac 90 flashlights
The Streamlight Sidewinder has an obvious purpose other than what a regular handheld flashlight is used for and if you need a flashlight like that, there aren’t a lot of options. Finding a flashlight that gives you the lighting you need is going to get easier and easier these days and they are making them lighter and more powerful every day. The Streamlight Polytac 90 is slightly shorter in length than the standard Polytac flashlight but it has a unique clip on the back to keep it in place, or hand it on a belt or vest. This smaller flashlight runs on 2 CR123 batteries.
Streamlight has an edge over other flashlight companies for firemen and emergency response primarily because Streamlight put the time into developing rechargeable flashlights that held up. The Streamlight flashlights that we sell the most are the rechargeable and followed closely by the Streamlight Poltac 90. I wish Streamlight would put a little more thought into the M4 Carbine world because although their flashlights are nice, they are not on par with what Surefire flashlights has out. Surefire has a solid edge over weapons lights.
