i believe the fibre flare has a few detractors, one of the problems reported is that they are not much good in the rain
I compared the one I got with an earlier one that my colleague had - the 'on ' button on his was exposed - a little cutout in the silicone end cap, whereas mine had a little bubble there instead. Mine seems to be holding up in the wet all right. Had it a bit less than a year though, so we'll see. Annoyingly, one of the little straps on mine sort of half-snapped, which makes it a bit less secure.
