    New Princeton Tec Vizz

    Bought a Vizz earlier today (OK, now it's yesterday) from REI and will be returning it. Looked good on paper. Although I was put off by the obviously misleading runtime claims; and yes, PT seems to be getting worse about that. There was an honest explanation with the EOS and some other earlier...

    General observations on headlamps.

    Not sure where you are, but it might be different depending on climate. I probably wouldn't object nearly so much where it was warm and dry. Here in Georgia, the air is either full of pollen, cool and humid, or rainy - and I hate not having the advantages of a hat!

    General observations on headlamps.

    Now that's and interesting idea, Tom. I thought briefly about the around-the-bicep idea but never tried that. Thanks, I'll give it a go and see how that works.

For me, my night vision is completely gone in that situation. I have very good and sensitive vision in near-dark conditions, but with...

    General observations on headlamps.

    I've been kind of cool on headlamps for a while. Yeah, I had two and used them when I absolutely had to have my hands free. Way way back, I did a lot of caving and used a carbide lamp...but that's another story. Recently, I've re-thought the options and came to different conclusions. My...

    Black Diamond Moonlight Headlamp for $15.72 + around $6 for S&H.

    Have had BD Moonlight for several years, have never been swimming with it but have used it in heavy rains many times and never any leakage. Couple of things you might want to factor into your decision: RR runs on two AA's instead of three, so possibly more frequent battery changes. BD has...
