"Cheap solution for safety when night biking or night running when it helps to see the ground in front of you or for cars to be able to see you coming.

Added bonus for trail-seeking Hashers at night."running4beer

(5)

Ease of use

Strap it on an press the button.

(4)

Quality of Construction

Seems pretty well made, but I fear I'm going to bust off this battery cover some day.

(5)

Fit

Fits me just fine with adjustable strap.

(5)

Comfort

SURPRISINGLY comfy. I thought it might be annoying to run with it, but I actually forgot I was wearing it after a while.

(5)

Adjustability

Adjustable strap was easy to fit to my head, and seems secure in placement.

(5)

Value

Less than $30 (on sale at EMS) is certainly worth it for night running (avoiding rooty trails and puddles) or night riding (bike commuting is getting too dark after 4pm!)

(5)

Appearance

Pretty unobtrusive looking with a mostly black strap, and the green accents match most of my running gear :)

(5)

Performance

Illuminated dark trails fine on my test run, even on the power-save (slightly dimmer) setting. Gives me a lot more confidence biking or running in the dark, which is most of my training now in winter.

Strengths

Lightweight, comfortable, illuminates a wide-area that can be adjusted further ahead or angled closer to you on the ground.

Weakness

Haven't found any yet, but wary of the little snap cover over the battery compartment.
