Thread: Help with new headlamp

Yeah sprayed near the house. The planters are currently working in your spot and the birds have cleared off to the big pines over the road.
Other areas have people working in them.
You'll have to wait another year now, there is too much happening up there on any given day of the week. Sorry.

I know Barefoot already made a decision on what to buy, but I'm just throwing it out there that I use one of these for climbing and tramping:

Black Diamond Cosmo Headlamp - Head Torches - Climbing - Gear - Bivouac Online Store
I find it handles prolonged, damp, cold conditions well (think winter in the Southern Alps) and although I've dropped it a few times from a reasonable height, it still works a-ok and the casing doesn't look battered.

It has no rust on the points despite the exposure to cold and damp - my previous Petzl headlamp rusted very quickly.

I do find I change the batteries fairly regularly (every couple of trips), but then, when I do use it in the outdoors, it tends to be on for prolonged periods at night - when doing descents, long walk outs, etc.

I'm very happy with its performance and robustness for the price. The three different settings (which I think is fairly standard these days) are very handy - bright light for action, dim light for chilling in the tent.
