Flashlight Zipper Dongles

The Gerber GDC Zip Light Keeps a Bright Light and Opener on Hand

Keeping an emergency flashlight usually means packing one in your trunk or storing a small one in your backpack, but the Gerber GDC Zip Light aims to help put one exactly where you need it. Designed to be attached to your zipper pull, the small dongle provides bright LED illumination for up to 3.5 hours and sits neatly and discreetly on your clothing until you need it.

The Gerber GDC Zip Light also works to pop open bottles to make it a clear winner for those who fancy camping, fishing or anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. The dongle can even be attached to your keychain if you'd prefer to keep it on your keys rather than worn on your person.
