It’s super light (69 grams) and has a slim profile that sits flush and snug on the forehead. The battery is in the back but the wiring is integrated into the moisture-wicking headband fabric which keeps it protected.

At a maximum light output of 330 lumens, it’s by far the brightest headlamp I own, and I rarely cranked it up past the lowest light setting, although the brighter setting would have come in handy if needed for night riding.

One feature I really liked is the pivoting light panel that adjusts down at the things you need to see instead of shining into your pals’ faces. Another cool thing about BioLite is its mission to provide 20 million people around with world with access to clean energy and reduce climate impacts, something you can support by purchasing one.

I chose Galaxy, which looks like you might expect a psychedelic glimpse out into deep space might look. It’s 168 lumens with six brightness settings, red and white lights, and it’s waterproof and comes with a lifetime warranty. You can also buy just the headbands to fit a headlamp you already own from another brand for $12.
