Impressive battery life

Super impressed with the battery life and durability of this light. It seems to last close to the claimed battery life.
It only looses a star because it doesn’t stay in the highest brightness for very long. After a couple minutes it slowly dims to the middle brightness, probably due to overheating protection. Luckily the middle brightness level is still plenty bright.

Great for running at night in a dark forest

My old headlamp wasn't bright enough to light up the way while trail running at night in a thick forest. This one is sooo much brighter (definitely the brightest head lamp I've ever seen)! I like that it has both a wide and a spot lamp so you can adjust the lighting based on the trail or area you're running on.
First I was skeptical since the lamp is somewhat large and doesn't have a third strap on top of your head. But the strap mechanism makes it easy to adjust the lamp and make it tight enough so that it doesn't slip. I'm going to deduct one star though because when running downhill, it tends to slip down (unless worn over a fuzzy beanie) and bounce, even when adjusted quite tight. If there would be an option for a third top strap, this would be the perfect 5 star lamp.
The light itself -- amazing and it's very easy to use without a complicated UI.
