Was this a gift?: No
We purchased two headlamps for use on a Mera Peak Expedition in October 2011. We knew we wanted light but at the same time, headlamps that would work very well in very cold temperatures.
While we didn’t test them in extreme cold, they worked day after day for three weeks in below-freezing temperatures. We’ve been back a couple of months now and even though we keep using them (even through a recent four-day power outage), we haven’t replaced the batteries yet.
We love the adjustable power setting so that we can see clearly up the trail and also avoid the glare when reading in the tent.
