[headlamp advise]

My personal favorite feature on a headlamp is the ability to "lock" it so it doesn't accidentally turn on in your backpack. Other than that, it mostly depends how big you want it. Bigger ones are typically heavier, brighter, more expensive, and more durably/waterproof.

 

I'm personally a fan of the BD Storm for mountaineering. Older folk will probably want brighter lights than younger people because their vision isn't as great anymore.

 

 

As a beginner, I have not purchased a quality gear yet. I use this headlamp, https://www.mrosupply.com/lighting/emergency-lighting/flashlights/1750208_5492_nebo/

But I realize that I need something better. Thanks, I will try to buy BD Storm with the Christmas discounts.

Hey guys,

I’m going to order a good headlamp. Should it be expensive? What are quality of a reliable head lamp? Is LED better? I understand that headlamp is more convenient when you climb, but I want to have a reserve light (flashlight or lantern). Are there nice waterproof models?

thanks
