        I purchased this product for work, I like the fact it makes work completely hands free. It's light, comfortable, easy to adjust and most importantly it is rechargable.
        This is on of my main reasons for making this purchase and the price was perfect.

          I actually purchased this for work, this makes having a flash light portable, lightweight and to me was is most important is it's rechargable. I found it useful that the light can be made brighter or dim, has a red light at the rear so you can be easily seen. But you can also turn it of when it isn't needed.

                I bought this after taking a tumble on an evening run. It stays in place without the optional top strap and holds a charge for 20-30 miles even at my pace (8-9:00 miles). Great light with less waste and weight than battery-powered ones.

                This is the BEST headlamp I've owned. (I've gone through many as my two boys often 'borrow' mine. They won't be getting this one!!)

                Very bright light and well focused for distances applicable for running, hiking etc.

                The only thing I would change: I don't like that the rear red blinking light comes on automatically when you turn on the white light. I would prefer that it defaulted to off.

                  This is the first headlamp I have ever bought and was a bit exited to finally get one. I did not think I could find one that is light enough and bright while still being very comfortable. I trully found a winner here! I honestly dont have any discomforts while running 60 to 90min at night.The headlamp is extremly light and does not bounce around or require any adjustment once you set it up correctly.I love that it has a rechargeable battery pack with a cradle, and the battery last a long time. Came in very useful when our home lost power a couple weeks ago!

                    Produces a nice diffused light beam for running. Brightness is very adjustable. Flashing red light is just another safety feature.

                      I really like this light. I use it for joggin in the early morning or at night. Light is easily and quickly adjustable and bright. I really appreciate the indicator light in the back. I find that those who start their commute at 0500 tend to wake up while on the road. I love the fact that it's rechargeable. The energy cell is also much lighter than a lamp full of AAA's. I have a couple other BD headlamps (one LED only and one LED/incandescent) and this is my go-to at this point.
