Pros: The lantern is very bright, starts easy great. It's lasted a long time. The hard case has enough room for extra mantels and a box of matches.Cons: The instastart is useless, but it still has match holes so keep a book in the hard case. The threads connecting to the propane tank aren't very good. It's easy to get cross threaded and they are soft so if you aren't careful you can ruin them. When it starts to thread, you have to stop and double check everything to make sure it's going on strait.Conclusion: It has some issues forcing you to be careful with it and pack matches with you. But from what I've seen it's still the best super bright lantern I've found.
