Captain Eos

Woah, my new favorite headlamp. I wanted to grab a focused beam headlamp after hiking Fuji overnight with my Petzl Tikka--with the light fog, a more focused beam would have been the way to go on that giant scree-pile. A year later I decided to try a Black Diamond Spot, and was sorely disappointed when the ratcheting mechanism broke, straight out of the package. I traded it out for the Eos Bike (pick this up, Backcountry!), which is the Eos headlamp with additional handlebar and helmet mounts. This lightsource is my new best friend at night--on the handlebars, on my climbing helmet, or on a hike. Tight, bright beam is a joy, construction is very solid, and I am very happy. And a big plus is that it is MADE IN THE USA (hooray!) and is backed up by an in-USA lifetime warranty and an international 10 year warranty. Not going back to Petzl or Black Diamond for a while, thanks to this light. You'll be glowing like your headlamp, you'll be so happy with this one.
