 Design Excellence Mar 05, 2011
By Celia S. Walker
It is DELIGHTFUL to see well-designed products, and this is one of the better ones I've seen. The slider on the head-band is also a whistle; part of the whistle is sized so it can be used to open the battery cover. The light face swivels 360 degrees so it always points where you need it. And not only can it be worn with the head-band, but integral to it is also a clip for belt or hat-bill. Did I mention that clip serves double-duty to protect the face of the light? The case is water-proof, and imprinted on the side of the case are, on one side, Morse Code for SOS, and on the other the universal signals for OK and HELP. Oh, yes, and it has lights, too!

 The best headlamp I have ever owned! May 26, 2009
By Ben K. Vanantwerp
"Twerp28"
I bought this in preparation for a week long backpacking trip, I needed something to replace my mini Mag Lite, but something lighter than my other headlamps.
I purchased this on a whim, it looked nice, but the price seemed a bit steep. Either way it is now the only light I use, I've even bought another to keep in the car in case of emergencies. It's form following function with every feature. It's the iPod of headlamps, it may not be the brightest or have the most bells and whistles, but, it's simple, intuitive, and perfect for everyone from outdoorsmen to traveling salesmen.

super compact, extremly light, Bright at the first 30 minutes Sep 04, 2009
By Happy Squishy
The first thing I want to say is "This headlamp is super light!" How heavy can a headlamp be? Well, wait until it is on your head. I did not think the weight would be such a big deal until I tried one. Then I decided the weight is most important to me for my weekend camping. I spend a good 2 or 3 hours at the campsite after dark, then I go for a night walk after super. This headlamp is so light that I can have it on my head all the time and I don't mind it at all. My friends' headlamps are not heavy by any means, but it is still impossible to have it on the head all the time like mine can. They have to put it on the head then turn it on when they need it. And they pull the headlamp down to the neck the second they turn it off.
My headlamp is so small that I hang it on my neck like a necklace when I go to sleep. This way I can easily find it when I get up in the middle of the night for bathroom or something.
It is bright the first 30 minutes of continuous use. But it almost returns to its original brightness after you turn it off for a while, then turn it back on.
I am extremely happy with my headlamp. I know there are super rugged headlamps and there are super bright headlamps. But I have surefire flash lights if I really want that bright. I guess it all depends on what you need the headlamp for. If you only want to see within 10 or 20 feet range, get a small light-weight headlamp. If you need to constantly look for faraway objects with your hands occupied, get one of those expensive super bright headlamps. Of course if you camp a lot, you always need a really good flash light. The only time I did not carry a flash light (I always have my headlamp with me because it is so compact), I was in trouble. So, I don't ever want to replace the surefire with a headlamp.

I use this lamp for trail running... it's small enough to stay in my forehead during my runs but providing suficient ilumination of the trail in front of me.
I really recommend this excelent lamp!!!

Well Done Apr 16, 2011
By filbert45
I took this overseas while deployed with military units. It was a great companion to keep in my pocket all day long. When caught after sundown on a Forward Operations Base (FOB) or Combat Operations Post (COP) it was a life saver to have. It's brightness was fantastic for it's size, the red light kept me less visible from prying eyes and it was easy to use, even with gloves. You should never be in an outhouse without one either. I've taken it on camping and fishing trips domestically and find it to be the perfect size to have with me in a convenient package. Now I have higher output headlamps for mission specific duties, but this is like a handgun. Having one with you when you need it is better than having the "perfect" one at home when the time comes.
Good job Petzl.
