A light with a water ingress protection rating of 8 (that is, IPX8) is protected against immersion one meter (or more) underwater for thirty minutes (or more). Specific depths and times vary by the manufacturer but rarely exceed three meters. This is generally the highest IPX rating for a light.

Cole is a design engineer at Werkz LLC but has been involved with the family business in various capacities since its inception. He designed the Origin series of holsters in 2022, bringing a new level of concealability and comfort to outside-the-waistband holsters. Unhappy with the compromises of multi-fit holsters from the competition, Cole later introduced the Outlier series, allowing those running unique pistols to carry comfortably, inside or outside the waistband, without compromising safety or retention.
Cole holds a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and Culture from New Saint Andrews College.
