Fenix HL12R V2.0 Rechargeable Headlamp

I've worn heavier headlamps that bounced around all night, but at 2.56 ounces I genuinely forgot this one was on my forehead after an hour of reading in the tent. The headband holds steady without that vice-like squeeze, which is a huge win for a lightweight design.

The battery life on this thing is honestly wild—I used it for a week of late-night trail runs and never even thought about the charge. At 2.56 ounces I forget it’s on my head, which is exactly what I wanted.

Still bright enough to light up a whole campsite after an hour of scrambling over rocks, and I barely noticed it was on my head the whole time. That 2.56 oz weight really does disappear once it's strapped on.
