HM65R

Here's some considerations: Buy good buy once rather than saving a few bucks and buying another one down the road, I have too many head torches, I wish I'd known about and purchased what I have now, even though expensive I would have saved money in the long run Don't believe any of the numbers for p

I have a Fenix HM65R-T that I picked up when I ran Pinhoti and it was great, tons of light with spot and flood options, also warm vs cool light, I think the warm light makes it easier to see the rocks and roots. Has a rechargeable battery that’s easy to switch out (and lasts a long time). The only c

I’ve had one of these for well over a year now... IMHO, best headlamp I’ve ever had: https://fenix-store.com/collections/headlamps-hm-series/products/fenix-hm65r-rechargeable-headlamp-1400-lumens It features a buttery smooth ‘flood’ mode & is comfortable. It’s rechargeable, has good battery life, an

Really like my Fenix HM65R v2. Did a lot of research before buying, although my main use case is trail running. Extremely solid, manageable size and weight, reputable brand, USB-C rechargeable and a nice usable and bright warm white LED plus a slightly brighter cool white when needed. Like all headt

Out of your three I’d pick the Fenix HM65R-T. For several reasons: I’m a huge fan of the 18650 rechargeable battery platform, it comes in some cool colors, it can also use the CR123 primary batteries and it has a built in charger. The other two do not have these things so for me it would be a pass o

What does your partner currently have? Fenix HM65R-T or HP12R-T are both highly rated. They use 18650 batteries that are rechargeable and swappable. The HP12 splits the battery and light so it's more balanced and you get a red light at the rear. Petzl Swift RL is good but has a proprietary battery.

Energizer headlamp, like $6 on sale. Got me through years of backpacking and the beginnings of my trail running. For the more expensive kind get the Fenix HM65R-T and a couple extra batteries.

Most torches except some high end ones are made in China these days anyway and shipped around the world. I can buy pretty much any torch suggested by the USA'ians and get it shipped to Scotland without any trouble, in fact some are available on amazon or from independent resellers. One brand you cou

This a great post - I do disagree with a few points: a) I don't think 150 lumens will be enough for a lot of people. For me, I prefer 300-400 lumens as a 54 year old guy who wears glasses. So I target a 5-6 hour runtime with one battery change during the night.b) I have the Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 and if

The plate covers the buttons in some other fenix models, but it aint no problem, as its always going to be facing a little downwards. I had no problem with dust on my fenix Different temperatures is a good thing for me, but only if the flood is warmer light than the spot. Comfier for walking, cleare
