……
Forward :
At least 2 years ago, a viewer sent this lantern in and I have been using it ever since.

I’ve mentioned that there are two versions of this lantern, the 300rl and the 314; the 314 model is the latest from Nite Ize and has replaced the 300RL officially. With that being said, you can still find the 300RL for sale and since I receive so many questions about it I’m here with the review.

Both versions of this lantern appear to be exactly the same as far as features go.
……
Review Pros :
After using this product for years I can easily tell you that it has been an excellent lantern.


Battery life has been very good and easily covers my needs for multi day adventures when I don’t mind bringing a luxury item.

Produces plenty of light to see around a picnic table or inside of a tent.

Easy to Operate

Good size

Red light is useful - I often use it when turning in at night;

Battery retains a charge for a long period of time.

Fairly Lightweight

Large button is easy to activate but not too easy - can be activated even with gloves on

Can be used to juice up a device but the capacity isn’t all that large.
……..
Review Cons :

No lockout function - the power button is large and it is possible to activate it when in your bag.

Fairly expensive; you can get lanterns for far less that offer more lumens.

Battery is non removable - if you have an issue, it can’t be replaced.

No USB C port - uses out dating MicroUSB

The biggest con that I have with this lantern are the potential issues that one may have with it. No, I haven’t had any issues but the net is FULL of reports of people who have had a wide range of issues. I’ve seen countless reports of these lanterns ceasing to work, falling apart and units that won’t hold a charge.
…..
Interesting :
While getting the details together for this review, I discovered that there are relabel versions of this Lantern. In fact, LL Bean has their very own version; the 300 Trailblazer ($50).

Summary :
While this lantern has performed extremely well for me over the years I do have a hard time recommending it based on the high amount of issues and problems that I have seen for every model that Nite Ize makes. For every positive review there have got to be at least 2 negatives.

Stealth Camping in a Field with Cows - Surrounded by Coyotes - Wind Stor...


This Stealth Camp Solo Adventure begins with Luke the Lone Wolf parking his truck on the side of the road on the outskirts of a city. From there he connects, travels, and crosses multiple trails, roads and fields as he remains hidden...

Hiding in Plain Sight!

The forecast is for pleasant fall conditions but that is quickly proved inaccurate;
not only does a wind storm hit during the night but he is surrounded by coyotes and more!
