Waterproof headlamp

[jorluivil]

So I finally decided to drop a few dimes on a good waterproof headlamp, need to get ready for those night sessions wink wink. I received a $30 certificate from REI and they have a 20% coupon online so I'm heading their tomorrow. Any suggestions?

I'm considering this one

I opted for the Black Diamond Storm. 4 AAA batteries, waterproof and up to 100 lumens was enough for me. I liked it so much, bought my dad one too.

I'm not sure if the Sprinter can take regular batteries? If it's only usb, that might cause and issue.

X2 on the storm, I've got one & I love it...rugged & reliable and u can't beat REI's warranty!

Better get 2 of them if you're going to be out all night. Or use the low output mostly. Looks like a nice light George.

That Black Diamond Storm looks nice, price is good too..

Both headlamps are submersible up to 1m..

I got the Storm too. Really awesome. Used to use Petzl Tikka XP, XP II, and E-Lite. The Storm retired them all.
I would steer away from the Sprinter. I have Petzl and BD headlamps with external batteries. That cable that connects the battery to the fixture always seems to fail from wear and tear over time.

Looks pricey....i ordered 6 of these a while back.

If you search around you can find them for 2.99ea w/free shipping. It took a while to get them but they are the same as the entergizer version sold in the major reatailers for $15-20. I like them cause the push button on/off is tough to acidentally hit while you have it in you drybag or whatever....I've only broke on so far only because it got dunked.

Since everything on my yak is destine for Davies locker anyway, i have a hard time spending alot of $$ on such a simple piece of equipment.

Its waterproof so I should not have any issue, since the storm is also waterproof that's my other option

I have a $30 certificate and a 20% off coupon so the light shouldn't cost more than $30 after taxes
