Guardian Expedition Blue Waterproof Safety Emergency Light

Oh, darling—if ever there were a gadget deserving of knighthood, the Guardian Expedition Blue Waterproof Safety Emergency Light would be it! Picture it: 5 a.m. in the dead of winter, the world still swaddled in darkness like a moody Victorian poet, and there I am, bravely preparing for a preposterously early swim, toes clenched, soul frozen, questioning all life choices.Enter this little blue marvel.Clipped jauntily to my kit like a tiny lighthouse with a vengeance, it blinked and beamed with the confidence of a West End understudy who finally got their moment. Visibility? Oh, darling, spectacular. One flash from this bold blue beauty and even the ducks gave me right of way.It’s lightweight, gloriously waterproof, and seems impervious to both frostbite and existential dread. It cheerfully blinked through icy drizzle, fog thicker than an Earl’s accent, and one memorable occasion when my swim cap tried to escape mid-stroke.Now, truth be told, come summer, she’s less essential—at 5 a.m., there’s already a whisper of dawn and fewer gremlins lurking in the shadows—but I still carry her as a badge of honour. Like a trusty footman, just in case things turn dicey.In conclusion: If you’re a slightly deranged open water swimmer (and let’s be honest, we all are), this twinkly blue gem is your new best friend. Ten stars, a knighthood, and perhaps a small parade in her honour.

Resilient. I swim in the SF Bay and the majority of the swimmers wear this item. We particularly like the choice of colors.

Works great, went in water multiple times. 4 stars bc it is on the expensive side ~$15. Should be closer to $10 imo.

I use these for swimming at night in the ocean.It is more fun and festive to use several.And to last minute share - so buy several!Anxious night swimmers when everybody has one or 2 of these.

I keep this one and a yellow one on my endurance bag for the long hauls through the night. Strong, study and they can’t turn themselves off. The batteries have lasted me about 4-5 years totally worth the money.

Been using this for dark early swims in ocean. So far it has worked as claimed. No leaks. Bright enough to be seen by other swimmers.

Received the exact product I ordered in a very timely manner. Brand new working. Will recommend to all friends.
