Great all-around head lamp backed by fantastic service

I've owned 3 Fenix products. They are built like tanks and this one is no different. I'd say they've improved the straps/bands from what I've previously used. This feels heavy in the hand but once on I tend to forget I'm wearing it. The battery life is great as is the functionality. I like the commonality of the USB-C connector. Also - I had a problem with the first unit I received, something with the charging circuit. Fenix support blew me away, overnighting batteries and a new headlamp. I recommend this if you like to keep your headlamps securely on your head (even over hats) and use it in a variety of places indoors and out.

Battery doesn’t last

I bought the HM60R first and noticed whenever I went to use it it was dead. I first thought I just forgot to recharge but that wasn’t the case. I haven’t used it that much and battery didn’t even last 6 months. I tried reaching out to customer service but they have not responded. Unfortunately I discovered all of this after ordering the HM70R so maybe I will have better luck with that one.

I checked with our team and nobody was able to find any message from you, so they are reaching out now. I'm assuming you removed the battery insulation tab from inside the light?

This was the best purchase that I made. I'm going to use it for wildland fire. Don't doubt it's a big deal.
