Best Camping Headlamps

Camping Headlamps

When looking for a new headlamp, there are a few features that are the most important to me. It is important to have the look that I want, as well as a comfortable fit. I don’t like the large battery packs that some of these have, but a few of these models have a great small battery pack that can be clipped on your belt or backpack, which makes the headlamp itself much lighter. Since you can encounter weather while fishing, hunting, camping, or hiking, it’s important for my headlamp to water resistant, and would be even better to be waterproof. Being rechargeable is a must, not only to be better for the environment, but to be better on the pocket book. Last but not least, it’s important to have a high level of lumens, or light output, so that your headlamp can be as bright as you need it to be. The more lumens a headlamp has, the more it will cost, but with cost also comes quality and durability as well.
