Quality
The torch is very well made and is constructed of all aluminium. The battery compartment has an o ring to keep out moisture.
The lens is made of high-quality glass and not inferior class and sales quite thick. The button to power on the unit also has a nice positive click and is protected by a rubber end making it water sealed.
The battery housing and handle have a textured grip that is also machined into the aluminium which gives this a solid feel and a non-slip feel. This is better than the rubber coatings that can later become sticky.
They supplied 18650 battery is also on good quality these can also be replaced with similar 18 650 rechargeable batteries.

Ease of use
The torch feels very nice in the hand and is easy to use it's all simple plug and play switch it on and select the required brightness.
The supplied head strap is also very useful in converting the torch to a head torch, although I did find it slightly awkward trying to get the torch into the rubber mounting maybe this could have been improved by using plastic instead of rubber but nevertheless once installed it makes a fantastic head torch as well as hand torch.
I did very much like the fact that you get extra spares in the box also so if you manage to break the torch mounting rubber you can use the replacement in the box.
Connectivity
Connectivity is very simple it is basically plug and play. The USB charging point makes this a very good item that can be charged anywhere there is a standard USB port making this ready for whenever you need it.
