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

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.

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

6+ hour headlamp

I use a Fenix HM65R-T on my callouts and it lasts ages, very bright, has a lock facility. I do carry a spare battery as well, just in case. Only downside of it is the band doesn't go round my Kask helmet, so I have my team issue Fenix headtorch (not sure which model) on there all the time, for the o

Headtorches

Fenix HM65r-t it's not the lightest out there, but it is very bright, has great battery life and you can change the batteries on the go. I've used it for hiking/camping and running through the night in ultramarathons.

Headlamp recommendations for technical night trail training

I've been mostly using a Fenix HM65R-T v1 for several years and it's been great. I see other people have already mentioned it so I'll add another strong contender I swap between: Sofirn HS21: Easy controls, excellent coverage options, high output, a high lumen red-light, long run-times, and signific
