Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting High Performance Headlamp

Back to the headlamp thing, I've owned Petzl and Black Diamond headlamps and looked at lamps by Princeton and Fenix. I think you'd have a hard time beating Black Diamond for your stated purposes. The new Icon is 320 lumens and is compact. It uses AA batteries and has adjustable outputs for both high and low power. I carry one in my pack all hunting season and they're tough. I've used them from very cold to summer temps and never had any battery issues using energizer and Duracell. I also have a BD Storm compact lamp and like it better than theTikka I owned though I've not used the newest Tikka versions.
