BioLite 330 Headlamp

When we first unboxed this rechargeable Bio-Lite headlamp, we were skeptical. The headlamp itself is ultra-thin and low-profile, which is obviously appreciated, but the rear battery is bulky and a wire curves around the strap. We were concerned that the configuration would be more obtrusive than headlamp designs that house the battery in the front, but we were wrong! Bio-Lite’s 330 Headlamp is lightweight and powerful, and the benefits of the inconspicuous front panel far outweigh the cons of the rear battery. In fact, while hiking, we hardly noticed the rear battery. And during sunset climbing sessions, the low-profile front panel never got in the way, and we were stoked on how well the Bio-Lite headlamp integrated with a climbing helmet. There are certainly brighter (and more expensive) options out there, but for the casual outdoor enthusiast, the Bio-Lite 330 Headlamp is a smart pick.
