Gear Review
Versitile, reliable choice.

This headlamp is excellent for backpacking and mountaineering. The xenon bulb gives an excellent beam for up to 100m ahead and the LED's save battery life when hiking or at base camp. I use the LED's much more than expected and have often left my candle or butane lantern at home. Excellent choice.
