Lace
The lace is in Nylon texture of good diameter, but not too long, and is covered, as many of the other torches on the market, with a soft red rubber tube to avoid slipping of the lace along the arm. The adjustment of the lace is insured by the classic spring cursor.

The Holster
Very interesting is the fixing system of the torch on the back of the hand, a system that works for most compact torches, which is named Holster. Using a number of Velcro bands the Holster is easily fitted on the hand, which will be, for the spearos the opposite one to the hand holding the speargun. In such a way, the hand on which the torch is fitted will still have fingers free to work and the light will be easily pointed.
