Good Headlamp?
Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2012 6:09 pm
Can anyone recommend a good headlamp? I'm hoping that I can start a hike a couple hours before nautical twilight and rely on it for that entire time, potentially in below freezing temperatures, in hazardous, rocky terrain (I have to see what I'll be tripping over). Is that unrealistic?
I found a cheap one, the Genesis Spark 16 LED, 7 dollars, but it may be worth the investment for one that lasts longer. The Genesis Spark is rated for 30 lumens, with a shine time of 10 hours, but that may vary depending on selected intensity and temperature.
I have never hiked at night (totally aware and prepared for nocturnal critters) but I'm starting longer hikes that require it.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
