Come Fly With Me
Flieger: Flyer. Pilot. Aviator.
Our most powerful Electric Torch, inspired by the intrepid men and women of the golden age of aviation: The Howard Hughes, Amelia Earharts, and Charles Lindberghs who blazed new paths for all of humanity through their revolutionary travels. Through determination and force of will, these exceptional adventurers shattered the realm of impossibility, and on their shoulders carried the hopes and dreams of a species entire.

The Flieger was created to be the Electric Torch that sees you through all of your travels. When you find yourself ready for an adventure - to see with your own eyes that which few others see, and be in the places few others get to be; far from technology and civilization; high above the Earth, below it, and anywhere in between - you'll find your Flieger an indispensable tool beneath the darkest skies.
Tested - by us, and the many whom it serves - the Flieger has found itself to subjected harsh conditions as a matter of course, and performed exemplarily.

“In the Marines gear was a totem to all the things I could not control. The adversary, weather, terrain, tasking and supporting units. Civilian life afterwards was another world, with a greater illusion of control.
I spent years without ever leaving the light of cities; Yet the weight of familiar objects was wanting. My rifle had been turned into the armory, my body armor was in better hands, my ruck sat gathering cobwebs.
My Flieger has become a totem to both these worlds.
The assured weight had a familiarity from the first day, much like my rifle, or my first Leica. The action smooth, instinctively responsive, like an S.T. Dupont lighter. What a pleasure it is to hike now by night, find the trail by light rather than night vision, and to make a camp for a few nights under its warm glow, under heaven, without fear.
After just a few months my Flieger has its share of scars from the road but that hasn’t dulled its light. Its now a familiar fixture of bed-stands, suitcases and rucksacks across 7 countries.”

The Flieger is built with a pioneering monocoque casing - the entire body of the Electric Torch is cut from a single piece of metal, ensuring superior mechanical and thermal properties, and only one point of user interaction: the tailcap. Simply unscrew to replace the Power Cell, and click the domed titanium pushbutton to activate and cycle through each of five light intensities.
Available in two versions - Titanium, in Turned, Brushed, and Stonewashed finish, as well as 1930, our proprietary finish that tells a story with age, fading to reveal a golden bronze patina with every mark.

“There’s a Flieger within arms reach most of the time. Usually it’s in the most accessible pocket of a backpack or in the center console of my truck.
It comes in handy, like just last week when a good friend was stranded on the side of the road with alternator troubles and we had to do some emergency roadside maintenance after the sun was down. More crucially, when I spend time underground, be it rappelling hundreds of feet into an abandoned mine or exploring abandoned nuclear missile silos, I carry a Flieger. Its uncompromising construction and superb performance make it an indispensable tool that I feel naked without.
Whether I’m executing a midnight splitboard mission on my favorite descent or exploring thousands of feet underground in otherwise inky blackness, I trust my Electric Torches from Muyshondt - sometimes with my life - to light the way.”
As our currently most powerful design, the Flieger is also our largest Electric Torch - yet still remains compact. It fits comfortably in a pocket and is most often carried in a jacket or bag during use. The five light intensities provide versatility - while the Flieger is intended for use primarily in heavy dark, where its power and beam provide great benefit, the lower intensities allow you to see where more light would be a hindrance: In the cockpit, the contours of a rock face, and in closer quarters generally.
So when you find yourself ready for a proper adventure, a Flieger is the companion of choice - to see the things few others get to see, and to see you through to where you need to be.
