By far the best headlamp I have owned. It provides plenty of light options, even the low powed options are suitable for night hiking. The high beam provides more then enough light for just about any activity. It is quite comfortable as well. I do a lot of trail running at night and this is the first headlamp I have that does not bother me, It is quite light and stable. The only problem I find is that the headband can get itchy.

I really love this lamp. I had previously been going back and forth from halogen to LED headlamps, then i found this and solved the delima.
The price is a bit high and so is the weight compared to LED only lamps, but it's hard to compare to those.
I love being able to keep the batteries warm, and having the option of the different types of light. LEDs are great for camp and nice weather Halogens are great for snowstorms and worse.
I trust this lamp when conditions are unknown, when i know i'm not gonna need something so large, i carry my BlackDiamond moonlight
A great product, well built and designed.

This is the best mountaineering headlamp I've used. I like the remote battery pack (fits in my Patagonia's chest pocket) and makes the headlight very light to wear on the head.
Three brightness settings, one halogen two LED, are easy to switch between; the halogen is quite bright and focusable. This light uses four "C" size batteries (heavy) but lasts much longer then the "AAA" powered headlights.

Untitled ReviewAll in all, if you can spare the expense, it is an amazing light. Try the MyoBelt3 if you want something a bit smaller.
