Headlamps

A headlamp frees both hands for setting up camp, running before dawn or digging through a pack. This range runs from the 20-lumen PETZL TIKKID for kids to the BLACK DIAMOND Distance 1500, with Nitecore and Streamlight alongside. Compare four things. Power: rechargeable lamps save on batteries, while hybrids such as the PETZL TIKKINA and the dual-fuel BLACK DIAMOND Storm 450 also take AAA cells as a backup. Beam: a wide flood suits camp chores, a focused spot reaches down the trail. Water rating: IPX4 handles rain, IPX7 and IPX8 survive immersion. Night use: a red mode keeps your night vision and won't blind the tent next door.

In Canadian cold, keep a spare battery in an inside pocket. Plan the rest of your kit with our backcountry camping guide.

Brands include Nitecore, Streamlight and VIBELITE.
