A headlamp is a very useful essential for everyone enjoying the outdoors. You may be caught by the night while descending the mountain, enjoy running at night, or need a light while camping outdoors.
Of course, there are lots of different types of headlamps used for different purposes.
Why is a headlamp useful?
Some people use flashlights or smartphones for lighting their path, but having a headlamp will make things much easier and more convenient. The headlamp has quite as powerful beam distance and brightness as a flashlight but is more practical in that matter. You can easily put it on your head and walk around brightening your way.
How to choose the right headlamp?
First, when choosing the right headlamp, you need to know for what purpose you will need it. Do you need it for mountaineering—typically for an early start before dawn or a late descent after sunset? Or, do you need it for walking around the tent on the campsite at night?
In the case of mountaineering, we recommend you choose a brighter headlamp with a broader light reach. That way, you can easily navigate whether you’re in a dark forest or on rocky terrain in the mountains.
When choosing your headlamp, be sure to consider its battery life. Again, it depends on how long you will need it without recharging.
What are the additional useful headlamp features?
The first useful feature is surely the tilt. The ability to adjust it in all directions is great, especially when climbing or descending the mountain.
The second feature would definitely be water resistance. Having an outdoor activity can also mean adjusting to any weather. So, in case of rain or even snow, this will make sure the headlamp will still work.
Last but not least, the red light mode is especially useful at night because it does not cause our pupils to shrink as white light.
