I've had this lantern for over a year and it has come in handy plenty of times. It's good for the usual camping, especially cooking in the dark. I even use it at home if the…

I love the dimming feature of this lantern, and the compactability, but now the 'on' button won't stay compressed, so this lantern only stays lit for about 15 seconds. I'm bla…

This lantern is extremely compact! It is so bright it lights up the whole tent or campsite. It is the perfect light to bring on any camping or backpacking trip. Buy It! You wo…

Awesome headlamp! One nice bonus is the lock mode which prevents it from turning on when it is in your pack. Very bright, settings are easy to use, battery life is good as wel…

It has so many features! The brightness is adjustable, you can turn it to red, and you can make it flash. The light can be bent downward so you're not shining the light direct…

I'm not impressed with these after a year or so. I broke one of them descending normally and repair is not possible. The grip is OK and I love the straps, but they do vibrat…

It really is a great headlamp, specially for the price. The illumination is great, the lamp is very compact, and very light (I think the two AAA batteries weigh more than the…

It's expensive, no doubt about it. But if you want something you can use in almost any condition, this is your tent. Single wall sounds scary and wet, but in practice I've u…

My back country ski partner and I chose to replace our 7 pound 2 oz, 49 square foot tent with two of these. We lost 1 pound 10 oz and picked up 5 square feet of space in the…

Overall, this is a good headlamp. I wish it had a strap over the top of the head as I found the weight of the lamp would make it sag and even fall into my eyes unless I cranke…

The Voyager lantern is a fantastic piece of gear. It's no barebones ultralight flashlight, with four AAs, but it is compact and bright. Variable modes allow for a tabletop…
