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.

What’s the go to Headlamp?
I’ve had one of these for well over a year now...

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

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

Official Q&A for Wednesday, January 14, 2026
Upgrade from $12 Walmart headlamp? I've been night running with this $12 Ozark Trail headlamp for years. My two complaints: It's heavy; as the elastic ages I'm cinching it uncomfortably tighter It munches disposable AAAs like a monster. Nothing like being out mid run and realizing it's shot for the

Headlamp recommendations for technical night trail training
I've really liked the Fenix HM62-T and it's 15 grams lighter then the HM65R-T and quite a bit cheaper. It's been a solid replacement to my Petzl RL Swift which is lighter (I think ~150 grams on the Fenix versus ~100 grams on the Petzl.) With the Fenix being wider and lower profile to the Petzl it wa

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
