Great Headlamp
Gift: No
Pros: Durable, Bright, Long battery life
Cons: No Beam Adjustment, Heavy
Best Uses: Hiking, Car Camping, Backpacking
Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer
I have used this headlamp for almost a year now and still love it. I have used it from overnight backpacking, car camping to around the house. I found it to be a bit of overkill if I'm going for a day hike or a clear weather overnight trip. It does weigh a bit more then a 3 bulb LED but it out performs almost all other LED headlamps.
I really like the spot light, it shines as far as claimed and the high/low settings are nicely balanced. Although I've never used this for biking I could see how this would be an excellent choice, with the rear red flashing LED's and the effect spotlight.
The battery life is absolutely amazing. I used this all spring and summer and finally replaced the batteries not because they went dead but I figured there was no way they could still be good but they were. I just didn't want them to die when I needed them most. This was even after I had accidentally left it on in my pack for 24 hours several times.
