Olight’s latest EDC flashlight, the Baton 3 Pro Max, is an upgrade to the Baton line. And this little workhorse packs a serious punch for its size.
I tested the light for a few days, including submersion, drop testing, and throw testing.
In short: The Olight Baton 3 Pro Max ($90) fits nicely in your front pocket or hangs easily on its included mounting bracket. It’s a great household tool. But it requires the use of a proprietary charging cord which some may dislike.

Olight Baton 3 Pro Max Review
There are very few pieces of gear that I appreciate fitting easily into my pocket. My keys, phone, and wallet are the obvious EDC tools that match those of, well, a lot of folks.
Next comes a pocket knife, of which I rotate between quite a lot of favorites. The next tool, which is in my pocket far less frequently, is a flashlight.
