I have the BD Revolt too, and it's a good light. I like the Nitcore better (it's a rechargeable like the Revolt), but as you mention, the Revolt can use rechargeable or regular AAA batteries, which can be handy at times.

However, the Nitcore is smaller, 1.5 oz's lighter, equally bright, has the most positive "on-off lock" of any headlamp I've had, and also can be charged in the field with a power bank and USB cord.


I just bought a couple of Nitecore NU25's to give them a try this season. My first rechargeable headlamps. I'll also pack a battery powered backup Petzl or Black Diamond headlamp just because I like to have a fallback plan.
