Hey folks,
I'm looking for a solid headlamp to use for night hiking. One that I currently have in mind is the hl27 by coast. I like it because it has features I am looking for such as a flood and spot beam (is spot really necessary for hiking?), over 200 lumens, doesn't require multiple clicks of a button to get to the light setting you want. And of course the price is under $60. Things that I am not crazy about on this headlamp are the weight, and the plastic piece holding the light (prefer it to be aluminum or steel).
Can you guys suggest some headlamps with these specifications that might give the Hl27 some good competition?
