5. Maintenance and Care

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Fenix ALP-20 holster, consider the following common solutions:

6.1 Flashlight Fit is Too Tight

• Break-in Period: New leather holsters can be stiff. Continued use will naturally break in the leather, making the fit more comfortable.
• Leather Conditioning: Applying a small amount of leather conditioner can help soften the leather, making it more pliable.

6.2 Flashlight Fit is Too Loose

• Check Compatibility: Ensure your flashlight model is within the recommended dimensions (1 inch diameter, 5 inches deep).
• Natural Wear: Over extended periods of use, leather may stretch slightly. If the fit becomes excessively loose, consider if the holster has reached the end of its functional life or if a different size is needed for your specific flashlight.

6.3 Holster is Uncomfortable on Belt

• Adjust Position: Experiment with different positions on your belt (e.g., hip, small of back) to find the most comfortable carry.
• Belt Type: Ensure you are using a sturdy belt that can adequately support the holster and flashlight without sagging.
