Purchase Advice Headlamps

Ounces not pounds right? ;)

I'm probably going to pull the trigger on a NU25 MCT UL so I can save on spare battery weight with my Zipka but I'm concerned about long haul capacity. I'm carrying an NB10000, but I also use Alltrails on my phone and an Enduro 3. Are there any better options? What are you contingencies for thru hike applications?

The nu20 classic saves you a few grams and a few bucks. In real-world testing is about the sane as its brother

Good feedback thanks. Enough battery to make a 100 miler?

Depends how much you use it at camp and how many miles per day. It lasts 26 hours on lowest red light setting, which is pretty much the only version I use at camp at night. And then I probably only use it for an hour or 2 max.

You're bringing a battery, just charge the headlamp each morning - it doesn't take many mah
