Customer Reviews
Will not ship to APO
While this is a fine product, excellent military use in field conditions, it cannot be shipped to an APO in Afghanistan. I'm not quite sure about the logic in not being able to ship to an APO for a serviceman or someone else serving in a warzone. It's a United States zip code, the military will deliver it from there. It's not a sensitive item in any way shape or form and it's a sure bet that those receiving it will not be putting it into the hands of those seeking to do harm with it.
Jeez amazon, get a grip and do a reality check here.
Design Flaw?
I received the headlamp yesterday and returned it today. Once the three provided batteries were installed, the latch for the battery compartment would pop open whenever the tilt was adjusted. In my opinion, the battery compartment is designed too small. For a premium product, this was disappointing.
flicker
First time we've ever written a review but this product deserves a warning. It is not suitable for a marine environment. We use ours on our boat. We have returned ours for repair or replacement three times. After working for about a month the light starts to flicker. If you use it for reading it is unusable.
Awesome!
My fiancee and I each bought one of these super headlamps and just love them. Not only do we use them for camping and backpacking, but we also use them for bicycling in the evening. The red filter is a must have because you won't blind your camp mates with the LED (which are crazy bright even on the lowest setting). Yes this lamp is a bit more pricey that the others I think that it is worth every penny.
Protects your night vision
Purchased as a replacement for a Rayovac with red & white LEDs, I was impressed from the moment I saw that DURACELL batteries were included.
The red lens is valuable for protecting night vision. This design is super...any of the 3 brightness levels (and blinking function) can be filtered by the red flip cover.
Highly recommended without reservation.
