WINNER!!! As soon as I read the Editor's Choice winners from Backpacker magazine I was curious. I had been using an alright head lamp but felt I needed the upgrade. Man am I glad I did! This tiny thing is simply amazing. It has three settings (high, medium, and low) and not to mention the emergency setting wich pulsates the light for help. I rarely ever use the thing on medium or high because low works that good!

The front light filter is really the best attribute on this headlamp. With a quick slide, your lighting can go from a long narrow view to a shorter but VERY wide range of view. While in my, tent I lay it beside me to use as my flash light and my whole tent lights up. This is hands down an AMAZING buy for its price.
