Our ultra-thin, well balanced USB-rechargeable headlamp that also runs on standard AAA batteries, the 275-lumen Black Diamond Sprinter 275 is purpose-built for longer distance pre-dawn/post-sunset runs that require the reassurance of longer battery life. The light's updated optical efficiency provides a balanced beam with brighter light, and you can easily track battery life with a six-setting, three-LED batter meter. The Brightness Memory feature allows you to turn the light on and off at a chosen brightness without reverting back to a default setting, and the Sprinter 275's PowerTap Technology makes for instant brightness adjustment settings. The light's perforated elastic headband is designed for improved breathability while running, excellent front/back balance and a red taillight strobe in the rear adds visibility in urban areas but can be turned off when you're on the trails. Now running on our new modular BD 1800 rechargeable battery, the Sprinter 275 is modular, accepting either the rechargeable battery or standard AAA alkalines. In addition, a stormproof design keeps the Sprinter 275 going strong in any weather with regulation for constant illumination throughout the battery life.

Wirecutter

The Sprinter 275 is a head-and-taillight-laden model that’s lightweight, comfortable, and secure. The lights are brighter than those in previous versions, but they are still not as strong as those on our top pick.

 You can control the brightness by holding down the power button, allowing it to dim automatically Triple tap the power button to activate the strobe mode. Another useful feature is Black Diamonds power tap technology. With a simple tap on the side of the light, you can quickly switch from dim to bright and back again. Like that, high beams on your car for safety around town

 Black Diamond Knows that if you're running after dark, commuting to work, or you're backpacking well into the evening, your headlamp needs to perform. The first thing that you'll notice is that the batteries on the back of the head when wearing the Sprinter with a small but powerful LED in the front. This keeps the balance just right so it won't bounce while running and the light stays pointed exactly where you want it. The top strap runs over the head and creates a third point of contact to keep it from moving around on tough trail runs

 It is the Black Diamond Sprinter headlamp. Hey, thanks for watching!

Black Diamond Sprinter Headlamp

Positives: with most of the weight in the back and the light itself being very light, this thing stays put! Which is great for night runs. I love the adjustability of the brightness and I had no issue with the battery life. The adjustability of the straps is great, it is pretty easy to get a nice snug fit.

Amazing Headlamp, not designed for Women

Based on these experiences, I would never opt to take this on a backpacking or other overnight outdoor adventure. I will definitely try it for running (it is called the sprinter, after all) as our nights fall earlier and for skiing when the snow falls. I expect it to perform well enough for those activities--which is why I titled this review "a one trick pony."

 I have not tried the headlamp yet with those activities; I make the judgement based on my less than satisfactory experience using it in other activities.

A one trick pony

 I loved the red lamp on the back for safety. Great feature.  I wish they could find a way to make the casing for batteries smaller and this still feels bulky. 

  I wish they could find a way to make the casing for batteries smaller and this still feels bulky. 

 I have worn it on multiple evening runs now and the illumination is great and I love the ability to use batteries or recharge. The battery life is more than sufficient for my distance but I'm not an ultra runner so I'm not sure on the longevity yet. I loved the red lamp on the back for safety. Great feature

Great but still bulky

 The main downside is that this is not super lightweight given the rather bulky & heavy rear light, so this would not be my first choice headlamp model for backpacking trips.

Super bright, great charge but bulky

 The taillight on back has two strobe settings and a solid setting. Fairly bright, too.   Modes PowerTap, Dimmable, Strobe Control the brightness of white and red light independently, front light has PowerTap for automatic adjustments, and taillight strobes.   Red or Green Light? Red A red taillight for clear visibility while you run

 Where to Buy Black Diamond Sprinter We tested the most recent edition of the Black Diamond Sprinter, which is blue and charcoal and has a maximum of 200 lumens. There is only one model. Compare Black Diamond Sprinter prices below. 

 Black Diamond Sprinter Specifications    Feature Type Feature Specs What This Means   Max Lumens (Light Output)* 200 More than enough light to see during a run.   Max Beam Distance*  High: 50 M (164 feet) Low: 2 M (6.56 feet) Not the farthest reaching beam, but a solid even light that illuminates your path.   Max Battery Time*  High: 4 hours Medium: 24 hours Low: 42 hours Most runs will last around 4 hours, there and back

 It utilizes varying colors and flashing sequences to relay this information, and makes decent sense after reading the instruction manual. Green means lots of charge. Comfort The Sprinter sits beautifully upon my elegant crown. It’s very well-balanced due to the rear battery mount and can be easily adjusted to fit any sized melon

The rechargeable ACTIK CORE headlamp offers 350 lumens of power which, combined with its mixed beam, makes it ideal for outdoor activities like mountaineering, running, hiking and backpacking. A HYBRID headlamp that comes with CORE, a battery that is rechargeable via standard USB port. It is compatible with standard batteries without the need for an adapter. Red lighting preserves night vision and prevents blinding other members of the group. Its reflective headband helps you to be seen when a light is shone on it, and is equipped with an emergency whistle for rescue situations.

The Petzl emits bright light with the highest beam quality. And it stays charged for days—whether you charge it with a USB or AAA batteries. This is the perfect headlamp for backpacking trips.

Switchback Travel

It’s 2022, and AAA batteries are so last year. Many headlamps have followed suit with USB-rechargeable designs, and the Petzl Actik Core is by far our favorite. In short, this headlamp is the complete package, featuring 450 lumens at maximum brightness, a long battery life with consistent performance across its burn time (some headlamps peter out but the Actik stays bright until the end), a sub-3-ounce weight, and an easy-to-use interface. France-based Petzl has been leading the charge with headlamp innovation for years now and their Actik Core is case in point.

USB-rechargeable designs have limited use for multi-day stints in the field (unless you bring a portable power bank or solar panel), but the Actik Core offers a brilliant solution in the form of a battery pack that can be swapped out for AAA batteries. It was a solid headlamp already, but this versatility brings it to the top of our list. And the Petzl is so long-lasting you might not even need to bother with a dying battery—one charge lasted us the length of a six-day bikepacking trip in the San Juan Mountains (our BioLite 330 needed several charges). The Actik’s water resistance isn’t ground-breaking (IPX4 will protect against rain and splashes) and you’ll pay for all the high-end tech at $70, but these are small sacrifices for a reliable headlamp that will stand the test of time.See the Petzl Actik Core

 I can't believe how much better the Nitecore is! Petzl needs to step up their game.  [This review is essentially a copy of the one I left on the NU25 page].  Compared to the Petzl, the NU 25: - is half the price - is 1/3 the weight and more compact (important for extended use) - is more water resistant - is able to light up while plugged in to power. (I carry a power bank when hiking, so this is a nice backup mode

I've used Petzl headlamps for a decade and love them. I recently bought both a Petzl Actik Core ($70 model E99abb) and this Nitecore NU25 for half as much. I can't believe how much better the Nitecore is! Petzl needs to step up their game.  [This review is essentially a copy of the one I left on the NU25 page]

 Would you rather have a bit more light but a little less runtime? Hard to say, but both work for my task.  If you kick up the Petzl to high mode you get a measly 2 hours, but the light is insanely bright at 350 lumens. Too bright to just have on continuously unless you're mountain biking. The only time I want that level of illumination is looking for lost keys or trying to figure out what critter made a noise in the woods

Meh. Petzl has gotten sloppy. Nitecore NU25 is way better and 1/2 the price.

2. Changed from the Marmot Hydrogen to the UGQ Bandit 10F, but realized that it was way too warm for the summer so got a used HG Econ Burrow 30F that I use for most of my trips.

0 after another UL guy I met said my pack was too big. I originally looked at other packs, but they just didn't fit. The Ohm 2.0 fits perfectly (I spent a while looking for good fitting) and I think it's a good balance between weight and capacity

Got into the UL game this year and made a bunch of changes based on my needs. Based a lot of my gear from big thru hiker names like Darwin and Dixie, while pulling ideas from Kraig Adams. 

I'm hoping to learn about what changes everyone made to their gear list this year. I think it'd be cool to post your lighterpack, location, and what gear changes you made, and why.

2021 Gear - What Did You Change &amp; Why?

-a good quality cooler, or two. I have gone to a two cooler system, one for food and one for beverages. Not saying a Yeti is a must, but you generally get what you pay for. 

-a quality headlamp. I have been through several and my latest is a Petzl Actik core. It’s a little pricey but well worth it. 

Hey all! My boyfriend's birthday is coming up, and I really want to get him like a starter kit for camping. He's been talking about always wanting to go camping, and I have a lot of experience doing multi-day hike/camping trips, so I thought it would be fun to meet in the middle and hopefully go car camping a few times this spring/summer/fall. 

I'm wondering what the best gifts to get him would be - budget is around $150-$200. I'm thinking a 3-4 person tent we could use, plus a sleeping bag and sleeping pad. For the tent, it seems like it's no frills but the golden standard is the Coleman Sundome, so likely going with that. Curious if you all have any recommendations for a sleeping bag/pad (we're in the Northeast and neither of us LOVE cold weather, so likely not going to be camping in cold temps any time soon)? And if I were to add on some other small stuff - what do you all think would be fun and useful? I'm thinking things like a solar lantern or folding chairs or cooking equipment - probably nothing TOO rustic knowing him. :D

Camping "Starter Kit"

 I’ve never had it let me down and the headband still has plenty of “stretch” if it broke tomorrow I would buy a replacement. It has plenty of beam, red function, and it has a rechargeable pack. you can also slap 3 AAA batteries in it at go. Mine charges on micro usb

 It rides in the door pocket of my big truck unless I’m headed to the river or camping. It holds a charge for a couple weeks with my daily usage. I’ve never had it let me down and the headband still has plenty of “stretch” if it broke tomorrow I would buy a replacement. It has plenty of beam, red function, and it has a rechargeable pack

I stumbled here looking for a proper headlamp, stuck around and got hooked! I’m slowing learning and growing my collection.  

Now I’m looking forward to warmer weather and summer camping and looking for new additions. I’m just car camping/pop up camping so power isn’t an issue. Just looking for some fun I can take with me.

So, what do you take for your trips?
