Can anyone tell me how this lamp compares to the Petzl myobelt xp in terms of how much light it provides? I want to use it for night trail running on very uneven terrain, and have used the myobelt and liked its output, but the petzl broke in less than 2 years.

From what I've heard from fellow backpackers (& Karl Meltzer is a pro ass trail runner & he uses it, that should be enough of an endorsement, see his review up top) this is the better light & if the Icon is cheaper I'm sure you'll be happy with that. But whatever one you go with, if you buy it from us & it breaks just return it, ya' dig?

These two lights are very comparable. The Icon is slightly lighter, same 3 watt illumination, same high quality, & the same dimming capabilities. Other than the Icon being less expensive than the MYO XP Belt, it's a toss-up. I hope this helps.
