Great headlamp but still has quirks
on April 10, 2019
Posted by: Kenyon
I have had my eye on this for a long time. Finally got it and took it on my 1-week long camp trip. It is very bright. I like using the spotlight function the most. I keep it on low medium and it is plenty bright. If you use it on max brightness then the battery will drain quickly. There is only 1 button to control the modes. I wish there were more.
I love the low profile of it and how easily it is to tilt the light downwards. I wish it was more water resistant though and had maybe 2 buttons for better mode control

The best/only Headlamp you will ever buy
on August 27, 2019
Posted by: Matthew
This thing rocks!! I love it! I cannot recommend it enough. It's super comfy and EXTREMELY bright. The battery life is great. The different settings are super effective. I like that I can dim it if I need to so I'm not blinding people or burning battery. I can't imagine what more I would want from a headband. I just did a 24 hour trail race at Mt Rainer and I had my entire team buy one and everyone said it was the coolest light.
My only complaint is that the UI of clicking through the button to select the right setting can be a bit confusing.
Also, as someone who sweats ALOT, I worry that I will destroy the band and ultimately the light once it gets to funky. Not sure how to clean this thing... but after several months of use it smells fine.

Great battery life but.......

These are Ok headlights and very lightweight. I have 2 issues with them. If you use your light in bed your head will be laying on bulky battery pack. I got around this by taking the battery pack off the strap and moving it around towards front of unit. It’s not designed to do this but it works. The second issue is the single button control. It takes practice and some trial and error. Kind of a pain in my opinion.
It’s still better then using a bunch of AAA batteries.

Best fitting and most comfortable headlamp ever, but it could be brighter
on August 30, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
This is honestly the most comfortable headlamp I've ever worn. It doesn't give me headaches and I do not feel a pressure point. Plus, it doesn't move. My only complaint is on the trail it is difficult to see all the different terrain due to the 330 lumens. I still prefer it due to its comfort but sometimes I put on my 900 lumens if I don't feel like concentrating so much.

4ish

Almost there biolite. Great versatility, brightness modes, option of tilt. Just finding the length the lite has power, is not meeting its expectations. Wish I could give a 5, at a 4-, just need better battery life per usage.

Absolutely love it
on September 6, 2019

I've been using mine at home for a couple of months now. I loved it enough that I bought one for my best friend before we went on a 6800 mile road trip to Alaska. They where our main lights as we tent camped every night for almost two weeks.
Here's what I like about it:
Everyone who said it's the most comfortable headband was absolutely right, I actually find myself forgetting to take it off once in a while. I was worried it might not be bright enough, I was wrong, it's plenty bright (I actually dim it down a lot) and battery life is pretty great and not having to carry batteries is even better. Apparently, people had issues with the button but I actually like it and the interface to change modes. I find it more responsive than the other headlamps I've used.

The only reasons I didn't give it 5 stars:
I hope in future versions the battery can be streamlined. The headlamp is so slick looking from the front but when you get to the back the battery looks like it's just tacked on. The coiled power cord is the only other thing that bothers me. I realize it's function I just find it weird that when I pull it open to put on my head there's only tension on one side, It just kind of "feels" wrong to me. It also seems like once in awhile the band expands on one side and I have to readjust it.

Honestly, my issues are super minor and if mine ever breaks I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I absolutely love it and use it way more than I ever thought I would.

The battery doesn't last as long as I expected it to, but I still love this headlamp!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I like the rechargable aspects first. It's relatively light. It is relatively easy to use. My only complaint is that the battery life leaves something to be desired.
I would recommend this to a friend!
