4.0 out of 5 stars great small headlamp, September 30, 2008

I recently used this headlamp for a camping trip. It is a great small headlamp. It is lightweight, bright, & feels comfortable on. You are able to direct the light somewhat (staight ahead to down), but that same feature hides the on/off button when the light is straight ahead, so you are forced to have to rotate the lamp down to get to the switch. It's just slightly annoying.
I have not had to buy or change batteries yet, so I can't comment on that.

The design made it easy to hang from other places to use as a lamp in the tent as well as its intended use.

I felt that the elastic was a good comfortable width and easy to adjust.

I would recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight, durable, October 22, 2011

If you're looking for a super bright light, go away!
However, if you want something you can stick in your backpack and not notice the weight, something to help you see on a dark hiking trail or around your campsite, this works fine.
I take it on all of my day hikes. I use it around home for small tasks, and let my sister use it for reading at night in a tent without disturbing others.
Batteries are easily obtainable for a good price online.
The five settings are nice, but I only use two...the brightest and the dimmest...the strobes are good to have if I ever need them.
I haven't used this in the rain.

Ridiculously light!

1.0 out of 5 stars Will Not Hold Up Under Normal Use, June 19, 2010

This review is from: Princeton Tec Scout 2 LED Ultra Light Headlamp (Sports)

I have owned two of these lights. The hinge on the first one broke on me when I was in the Middle of New Mexico, and I thought I did something wrong. I bought the second one the day I got off the trail, and it did not even last a month before the hinge broke. I think the light is a great idea, with its lightweight design and how bright it is, but it does not hold up under normal use
