User Review: Black Diamond Ion
|
Rating: 
Price Paid: present
The battery is terrible. It lasts less than 3 hrs and costs like $6-9 to replace _if_ you can find it. At ~30g (incl battery) it is a good emergency backup, but you don't want to actually have to use it. A better choice IMHO is the Wiz, a 2AAA model weighing 56g (incl battery) with better light and 35hrs life.
Also, the part that stabilizes it to your forehead is a bit skimpy so it bounces a little more than I would like.
