myobelt xp

By Ranked #137 - Headlamps December 28, 2006

I purchased the Myobelt XP to use during night trail running on very rocky and rugged trails that have tons of ups and downs. The lamp has served me well, as it provides enough light for me to move at about 90% of my daytime speed. If you will be using on trails with consistent footing, you should be able to keep up your normal pace. I agree with other reviewers that you can forget about changing the brightness with gloves on, however, while I am using it I adjust the angle and set the brightness as I begin, so it is not a big issue. If you plan to need to adjust it frequently with gloves on, it may not be the best choice. The long life that batteries have with this lamp is a huge plus for me since I use it for 6 or more hours each week. Bottom line, if used for running, I highly recommend it.
