Contrary to its name, the Hangover Light has nothing to do with excess alcohol intake. Instead, it's named after the famous hangover trail in Sedona, AZ. Much like the brand's leading MTB light, the Trail Evo, it combines features to create the optimum light instead of chasing high-lumen output figures to make some of the best lights for night riding. In fact, Outbound says: “We don’t care to try and be the ‘best’ in any specific category because doing that compromises other criteria that are important for a high-performing bike light.”
The Hangover is designed to work perfectly alongside the Trail Evo handlebar light and can also be bought as a set in the Evo Downhill package. Much like its bigger brother, it is handmade in their Chicago factory and tested by their in-house team of riders and rally driving enthusiasts. This is the first time we have tested lights from Outbound, but they will surely feature in our best MTB helmet lights guide in the future.
