Black Diamond Icon Headlamp

Item #BLD1034 | 178 in Stock
1 Star Rating

Not reliable

By Ranked #92 - Headlamps October 11, 2009

I bought this product with high expectations because I own a great deal of Black Diamond equipment (to include the Spot headlamp which is phenomenal). I used it once. I never dropped it, crushed it, abused--I did nothing to it except use it properly. After one use, the button malfunctioned: it didn't turn the light on or off. In addition, the strap easily comes unattached to the battery pack. That kind of reliability isn't compatible with the nighttime ice climbing I like to do.
