Sunnyvale, CA – March 3, 2025 – Thyrm, a leading innovator in tactical and everyday carry gear, today announced the release of two new additions to its popular SwitchBack line of flashlight accessories: the SwitchBack 3.0 Duty and the SwitchBack 3.0 Deep Carry. These innovative accessories enhance the functionality and grip of tactical flashlights, providing users with improved light retention and allowing their hands to remain free for other critical tasks.
The SwitchBack 3.0 Duty is built for rugged use and optimal performance in demanding environments. Its larger diameter ring is compatible with patrol gloves, while its heavy-duty construction ensures impact resistance. Additional traction features provide a secure grip even when wet, and a shortened clip improves pouch compatibility. A full-size lanyard hole accommodates 550 paracord. Like all SwitchBack products, the Duty mounts securely between the light’s tailcap and body.
The SwitchBack 3.0 Deep Carry is designedfor discreet carry. A steel wire clip provides a low visual profile and a premium feel.Users can select from two clip heights,allowing for a customized ride height in the pocket and enhanced access to the tailcap switch. Its slim ring enables users to engage the SwitchBack ring even when positioned below the pocket opening.
“We are thrilled to introduce our two new SwitchBack models, each crafted to address the unique needs of our varied customer base,” said Andrew Frazier, CEO of Thyrm. “The Duty offers exceptional durability and functionality for tactical professionals, while the Deep Carry provides a discreet and ergonomic option for everyday carry and covert operations.

I wish that they could crack the code on side mounting the clip at 3:00 or 9:00 with a 12:00 ring location.
I understand that desire, and that was the first thing we prototyped. On SwitchBack 2.0, a 90 degree clip causes the ring to wing outward and catch on things when carried in a pocket. At 180, it biases the ring towards the body which we feel is better. For SwitchBack 3.0 deep carry, a side mounted clip would stack outward unnecessarily, increasing bulk. By being on the back (180) it folds in beside the flashlight. Hope that helps at least understand the design intent. Andrew (Thyrm)
Yessir, I believe that I spoke to somebody at Thyrm about that a couple of years ago and the design intent was explained to me. I understand where you’re coming from, and I may be a statistical sample of one in my desire stated above. No disrespect intended, I personally would find the product a lot more useful for myself with a side-mounted clip. I’d happily find a new home for one of your prototypes!
Thanks
