Diffuse Light Inferior To Previous Versions

Very disappointed in BD’s choice to diffuse the light in this Sprinter headlamp, especially since I’m a long time user of the previous versions for running. Those previous versions (which I continue to use with worn out elastic) are superior to this product - the previous versions have a directed beam that provides the correct amount of light in the right place, especially for trail running. This product has one job to do for runners, which is to provide enough light in the direction where you look, and this new version totally fails in that regard. It’s done for , say, a camping light, and maybe as a light “to be seen” when running but fundamentally useless as a running headlight “to be able to see. ” I never write reviews, but was so disappointed given that I purchased two of these, one for me and one for my wife that I felt compelled to alert others and encourage BD to revert to the previous lens optic design.

A New Comer To The Headlamp Community

I enjoy my headlamp. It illuminates my path. It tells me where I can go, what to expect, and who is where! It is awesome, and I wish I bought one earlier.

Enjoying The Light

I traditionally hate having things on my head and avoided using headlamps for that reason. The Sprinter is remarkably light and comfortable. It provides tremendous light to the trails when I am out running. The battery has been more than sufficient for my normal runs, and I am looking forward to testing it on my next ultra.

Love It. Best Sprinter Yet!

This is the third Sprinter I’ve owned. I’ve loved them all, and each one is a little better than the earlier generation. The balance of having battery weight in the back is great. And I take comfort knowing that I’m visible from the back as well as the front. The Dual Fuel capability means you can legitimately use this on long events with a pre-dawn start and possibly finishing after dark. And multi-day hikes are worry free because you can carry a backup set of disposable batteries.

Go Farther

The battery life on this is fantastic and the ability to interchange with AAA batteries gives me the confidence that I will only need one headlamp through my whole 100 mile race. The top head strap eliminates some of the bobbing and slipping that other models have had and leaves me with a much smoother trail run. I like the light in the back for other people or cars on the road and the recharging function means I always leave home with a fully ready to go light.
