L.L.Bean Waterproof Solar Flashlight
Solar lantern is good. Solar flashlight not so much! Full review
ThermoWorks ThermoDrop
The ThermoDrop is a key-chain or zipper-pull digital thermometer that's useful for gathering temperature data in the backcountry. Such statistics help me in better understanding my tolerances and gear needs. It's also fun for bragging rights/telling stories about my backcountry adventures. Background: I'm fond of factual and actual numbers when it comes to backpacking. There's just so much that's subjective and tailored to individual needs and perspectives, especially when it comes to temperature… Full review
Primus EasyLight
Does what it's supposed to, doesn't require a rocket science degree to use, and doesn't create excessive fire hazard when used safely. My only regret is that there are only five stars to click. Personally, I would give this product 60 stars. I knew it would be a great product, but it outshone my expectations. It easily lights up a medium-sized living room, no squinting of the eyes. My favorite aspect is that it's not the kind of product that you're worried about coming "unscrewed" if you accidentally… Full review
Ledlenser MH10
For all who need a simple bright headlight with great battery life for everyday use even in rough conditions. Just three main light modes, one button (push on brightness1 -push brightness-push boost-push off) I am using the Mh10 for over 2 years now and am very satisfied with it. I live in Finland above the Arctic Circle, so it gets quite dark and cold in winter. The battery life is great and is very bright. I like the simplicity of the lighting modes. Just one button and three main light modes. Full review
Sierra Madre Hot Pocket
When it works, it works. Lay it on chest, under insulation, nice toasty warmth. When it works. SM not responsive to issues. Battery packs poor. Bought two—one for wife, one for me—for Christmas! In the right situation, they can provide warmth. On my chest when I'm napping. On my lap in the car. This thing in a sleeping bag would rock, but... They don't stay on, shutting off at random. A month of sporadic use, trying to figure out best ways to use them, and one battery has failed. Company not… Full review
Goal Zero Lighthouse Micro Charge Lantern
The ultimate EDC flashlight/lantern? It’s great for backpacking/camping, that’s for sure. The Lighthouse Micro Charge is a minimalist, portable yet powerful dual-use light with an USB outlet to double as an emergency power bank (hence the Charge in its name). Small, hand-sized flashlight/lantern/charger perfect for an EDC. The USB port is used to charge external devices. Capacity is limited though. The Lighthouse Mini Charge is a versatile piece of gear that gets a lot of use on every kind… Full review
BioLite HeadLamp 750
A decent premium headlight I had lost my comparable BD headlamp (a smaller version of BD's Icon 700?) I enjoy not needing batteries. The battery pack is pretty chunky. I had to improvise an overhead strap for running—successful? tbd Cheers - gs Full review
Fenix HM60R
The Fenix HM60Ris a 1200-Max Lumen, rechargeable headlamp with an exceptionally long battery life. The light outperforms every headlamp I have owned over the past 21 years of caving. Weighing in at 157grams with the battery, the lamp is light enough to throw into the backpack. “Intelligent Frequency-Sensing” adjust the lumens of the light to the speed of the user, so that a trail runner does not have to fidget with the settings as they speed up or slow down. Coming in at under $80, the light… Full review
BioLite AlpenGlow 500
BioLite's AlpenGlow 500 is a reliable and rechargeable 500-lumen lantern that offers a wide range of color options from bright party colors to a subtle candle-like feeling. The simple one-button design takes a little time to figure out how to access each mode, but once figured out, is easy to operate. A smaller 250 lumen option is also available from the manufacturer. Conditions: What started out as a car-camping lantern quickly turned into a back porch lantern and eventually my daughter’s favorite… Full review
