I'd like to start by saying, I Love, Love, Love your brand. I have been buying your products for decades. In fact I have 2 prior versions of the torch flashlight. I live in So Cal and recently (ongoing) we have had a lot of use for solar or alternate methods of charging. This is where my goal zero products came in handy. The reason I am giving only a 3-star rating is this, my lighthouse 600, crush lights and both torchlights worked perfect. Here is where the improvement comes in. Both versions of torchlights have some rubber. The rubber has become gooey and leaves your hands sticky. As I mentioned earlier, I live in So Cal and we are experiencing lots of damage including power failure due to the wildfires. I started looking at purchasing some new torch flashlights and noticed the current version no longer has the 3rd source to charge, the hand crank. I feel that shortsighted. During the week I had no power this feature was key during the night. This is obviously my opinion, but I think the hand crank feature is something that you should seriously revisit not just for the flashlight for other items as well. I use this so often. The hand crank feature is what made me choose to buy the light house lantern instead of another brand. Thanks for your consideration.
