Summary

This episode is unlike anything we have ever done before. Steve and I have been testing a handful of headlamps for a few months now, and in this show we dive deep into our review and comparisons of each model. While each headlamp has its pros and cons, there were some that were clearly better than others. And although some headlamps might be good general lights, the backcountry hunter has specific needs — some of the models we tested excelled at meeting these requirements, while others came up short. What is the best headlamp for backcountry hunting? Tune-in to find out what we will be taking into the field this fall. Obviously, your opinion might be different, and this episode will provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. Learn more at http://ExoMountainGear.com
