Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I took this on a five day backpacking trip as my #1 light. It was my only headlamp. It worked flawlessly despite some genuine abuse. One night we experienced a down-pour in the middle of the night. The next morning I found the headlamp inside the tent lying in a half-inch of standing water. I dried it off with a towel and turned it on. It was still working perfectly, so I simply removed the soaking-wet elastic band and hung it to dry. Another time I removed my beanie forgetting that I was wearing the headlamp. It fell off my head and smacked the large rock I had been sitting on. When I checked the light, it was fine. The batteries lasted the whole trip. After several nights of extensive use, the light was still going strong, with no sign of battery failure. I brought extra batteries, but never needed them. I couldn't have been more pleased with the performance of the light.
