The light was great and very bright and I just couldnt pass it up for the price I found it at. But I recently sold it for the new Petzl MYO RXP and I couldnt be happier. The Brunton's beam is just too narrow. I got caught on a hike at night on a pretty rocky and technical trail, and the narrow beam just didnt show enough of the trail. It really needs diffuser of some kind. Plus, by having the 4 AA's on your head, its alittle heavier than normal. Nothing to unbearable but it really needs a third strap to keep it from slipping..It comes with a separate battery pack for C-batteries but that was just to heavy to carry.

Love this bag! Just got back from a camping trip where it rained non stop. Some rain actually came in through the roof vent on my MSR MoRoom tent. But an awesome fact was discovered and that was that the bag is somewhat water repellent right from the store. I woke up in the morning(totally toasty) and there were beads of water on the top from where the water came in from the torrential rain. But whatever bag you get make sure you have great insulation between you and the ground. My REI pad only has a 3.2 R-value but i went to walmart and bought a $5 foam mat that worked perfectly. The temps only got down to around 34 degrees at night but it felt colder with the constant rain. Its not the lightest bag and probably not the bag your looking for on a long trek, but for the money, you cant go wrong. PS. the draft collar makes a huge difference at keeping your warmth in..a feature in any bag to look for..

Went on a 30 mile hike on the AT and the pack performed great. I think I over packed a little but the pack held everything comfortably! The stretchy spandex outer pockets really allow you to cram a lot more than you might think into little areas. The inner pocket that holds a hydration bladder really came in handy. I put my MSR 4L bladder inside and was still able to put my tent, cooking supplies, a few clothes and food inside the bag. The only thing I put on the outside was my tent poles.. Great bag

Just got back from a trek on the Appalachian and we would average 6 miles a night before we would set up camp. The light preformed marvelously!! I really like that you can set your own light modes. I have mine set at 1-4-and 7. The light is awesomely bright I never need to use the highest setting. And if I do, I just us the boost feature. And when those 160 lumen come on, it really lights up the woods!! I gave it 4 stars because nothing is perfect. Its not the most water proof, but hey, Im not using it for scuba diving. Also the rubber button can be a bit tedious, but thats just knit picking. Definitely recommend!!
