That said, it wasn't love at first carry. I am a huge fan of EDC gear, but I'm just not one of those "tons of shit hanging off my keychain" guys. After giving keychain carry a shot for a few weeks I'd found myself annoyed by the dangly flopping and increasingly worried that the quick-release would fail and I'd lose the light. After a lot of internal debate, I broke down and invested in the pocket clip sold directly from Prometheus Lights:

Let's get this out of the way immediately: Yes, it's pricey. More than half the cost of the lowest-tier light in this drop itself. It's not money I spent without consideration, but the clip took this from being a light that I would have rarely (if ever) carried to one that's always at-hand.
It's a fantastic design that integrates perfectly with the body of the flashlight. The clip allows for tail-standing and keeps the light from rolling when placed on an inclined surface. It is a deep carry, very unobtrusive in the pocket, and the ribbed body of the light combined with the spring-flex of the clip allows for a solid and reliable pocket carry.
I'd love to see Massdrop work with Prometheus Lights to include the clip as an add-on, it's an accessory that made all the difference in the world for me in appreciating this flashlight.
