- The Thyrm Switchback 2.0 Pocket Clip connects your flashlight to your firing grip, allowing you to shoot with natural, two-handed control. To prevent gear from catching on your fingers during a fight, the ring features a smart breakaway design that releases under heavy force. Because this thyrm switchback anchors the light firmly to your hand, you never have to drop your illumination source to reload your weapon or fix a jam
- Breakaway Ring Yields to Prevent Injury (Resettable): In high-kinetic environments, getting a rigid ring caught on gear or barricades can cause severe finger fractures.

You can easily snap the polymer back into place in the field once the immediate hazard has passed, keeping the pocket clip light in service.
- Secures to 1-Inch Tactical Lights (Max 1.004" Tailcap): The internal lip uses deformable polymer crush ribs to create a tight, custom fit across different flashlight brands. It securely slides over 1-inch tactical flashlight bodies. A maximum tailcap diameter of 1.004 inches is supported, and the unit includes a rubber O-ring and an aluminum spacer to fix any slight millimeter gaps in machining tolerances.
- Adds Barely 1 Ounce (30 Grams) to Your Gear: Essential light accessories should never weigh you down, and this unit measures just 2.60 inches long and weighs only 1 ounce.
