Sometimes, there just aren’t enough hours in the day for all the adventures you want to have, and that’s why you might find yourself hiking, trail running or even pitching your tent in the dark. Fortunately, the outdoors market is teeming with increasingly lightweight and high-powered headlamps for hiking and running these days that make it easy for you to travel or set up camp with both hands free.

If you’re choosing a headlamp for camping, nocturnal hiking and night running, there are some obvious things you’re going to want to consider such as weight, whether it requires batteries or is rechargeable and the price tag. Beyond that though, technical headlamps can have a whole host of other features that might leave you scratching your head.
