ruuning headlamp

Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 is absolutely awesome. You take extra Battery with you and you have super bright light all night long. I have it, wouldn't change for anything else. There is only one thing that I'm considering negative. It's a bit front heavy. After wearing it 2 nights in a row I developed small

Best Ultramarathon Lighting System 2026

The Fenix only does 160 lumens for 10.5 hours and drops to 50 lumens https://zeroair.org/2021/05/26/fenix-hm65r-t-headlamp-review You can't put it on your waist either. I run with two Nitecore HA11 and HA15, both 1xAA and one can be put on your head and one put on your waist, with 2 spare batteries

Headlamp for 100M (12 hours in the darkness)

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

What’s the go to Headlamp?

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

alternatives to generators that don't make camp sound like a construction site?

What type of janky headlamp do you have that only lasts a few days? I do long multi-week backcountry canoe trips and my headlamp (Fenix HM65R) will easily last for 3 weeks of daily use.

Did someone figure out what brand/headlamp is true to their specs and which is the 'best' bang for buck?

https://zeroair.org/2021/05/26/fenix-hm65r-t-headlamp-review/ This review it shows medium (400 lumens) mode dropping to about 160 lumens in about 20 minutes. I didn't buy this headtorch because of these reviews. Mad how every single time i mention it's not a 400 lumen headtorch, more like mid 100 lu

Headlamp recommendations for technical night trail training

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

Best headlamp?

I bought one of these a while back... love it! https://fenix-store.com/collections/headlamp-series/products/fenix-hm65r-rechargeable-headlamp-1400-lumens A headlamp is a daily thing for me... often hours a day. The HM65R has the nicest flood I've ever seen, and comfortable strap. Mine is below... no

new running headlamp

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

ruuning headlamp

Check out also Fenix HM55R which is a bit smaller than HM65R. Not many reviews yet, because it's relatively new. From the 3 you listed, I'd go with HM65R, but if you don't need one to go over full night with one battery, I would consider HM55R. Edit: I didn't see before that two have already debated
