The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

Rechargeable headlamp technology has improved in leaps and bounds, offering reliability, high-powered lighting with shockingly long run times. Case in point: the BioLite Headlamp 750. This five-ounce headlamp features multiple power modes operating on a durable lithium-ion battery that provides juice for up to 150 hours.

At full power, the HeadLamp 750 provides an impressive 130-meter range. Other features include a night-vision saving red light mode and a white light strobe. While you can get away with a simpler headlamp for camp chores (the BioLite HeadLamp 200 is a favorite) the 750 excels for after dark adventures. It provides enough light for late-night trail running and cross-country skiing, and a clever rear red visibility light improves visibly when road running at night. The lightweight, low-profile construction is ultra comfortable to wear. About the only knock on the HeadLamp 750 is the small control button, which is virtually impossible to manipulate while wearing gloves.—Conor Mihell, Men’s Journal contributor
