I love it, and everyone who goes on walks with me loves it

I can't remember when I got this headlamp. Probably 4-5 years ago when I started peak bagging. It has been with me on every major peak I have done including Gannett, Rainier, Hood, and Shasta. The one draw back of this light is I always get placed in the back of the group because when this little guy is on no one else needs to use a light. It can light up the whole side of a mountain. On almost every trip a stranger has commented on how bright it is and said they were going to get one.I have also used it in some spelunking and it has performed beautifully.The only real problem I have had is the ring that keeps it waterproof has a habit of coming out when you replace the batteries so you have to somewhat tediously put it back in place. While it has never been and issue this would be no bueno with freezing hands.Always use lithium batteries if you are going to be using this in the cold. It will prolong the battery life.It fits on the Petzl Ecrin Roc Climbing Helmet nicely.
