This is a great headlamp! I have had this lamp for a while and have used it in all kinds of conditions and it has not failed me in any way. I've used it in light rain, snow, and below freezing temperatures. All of the light modes work perfectly. The red light is very nice and doesn't ruin your night vision. I wouldn't use the red light for night time hiking though, because it has a small radius and distorts depth perception at a certain range.

The variable brightness makes it very usesful for night flying. The easy red/white switch makes it easy to transition from preflight (white) to flight (red) to postflight (white). The strap fits nicely under a headset.
