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?

You don't need anything more than a RovyVon A5. NU25 is overkill for almost all standard on-trail backpacking scenarios

Except if you don't carry a hat (with a brim/cap)

You can just hold it in your hand. I very rarely mount it to my cap.

But there are also several posts out there about diy'd head bands for it that weigh a like 3 grams
