Speaking as a member of the B.M.C. (British Mountain Council) t
e best reason for using Titanium is weight. It's use is becoming prevalent over here. Particularly in the lightweight, sports climbing community where weight is very much a consideration. Same strength for one fifth the weight of steel, say one half the weight of aluminum. A titanium flaslight might be overkill, but then again - why not? Cooking kit etc, oh yes, most definitly.
