Headlamp recommendations for technical night trail training

Fenix HM65R-T version 1. I have tested both version 1 and 2 and there are significant differences between them. It's been while ago but if I'm correct, version 2 has two lights but the light bream is the same when version 1 has narrow and wife beams for better flexibility. I used it in 100K UTMB Ver

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

Head Lamps, Waist Light or Other Recommendations

Snap. I have a Fenix HM65R-T for the head and a Ultraspire 600 for the waist and they both throw out the right amount of light for me to comfortably run technical trails in the dark.

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

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

Recommendations for head torches for sunrise hikes up mountain? That ideally won’t break the bank🤣

First tip, whenever asking for suggestions give a CLEAR budget. One man's break the bank is another man's pennies. Anyway, on to your question: I'm a trailrunner and swear by Fenix Headtorches, lightweight, comfortable and can be charged via USB-C If you dont intend on using it much and want a gener

More comfortable headlamps?

I've got a fenix also and can vouch for the head strap mechanism. Works well. Do have to say that I had to replace my original though as it stopped working (I've got the HM65R-T) - under warrenty. My backup Black Diamond (Spot 400) is also great, comfy, reliable, though not as bright.

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
