United StatesLightweight and comfortable
Great, good beam. Prefer the band over just the cords, even with a smidgen of extra weight
United StatesGreat!
Great Gear, Great Service! What Else Is There To Say!?
United StatesVersatile and bright
My second time buying this light. First one found a spot on the nightstand for reading and late night trips to the restroom after it got left in the jacket pocket when it went through the washer and dryer. It suffered a slight crack in the housing and even though it works fine I was able to score another one from here when it was on sale. Great lamp, love the 2 button interface. Red light is a little bright inside the tent but good outside. The double click low light mode gets used almost every night for reading. Paired with the NB10000 is a great combination.
United StatesGreat headlamp!
Light weight, crazy bright- whats not to love!
United StatesGreat head lamp and excellent battery life!
I took this on a 9 night, 10 day excursion into Yellowstone at the beginning of October. I never charged the lamp during the trip. I used it for around an hour of use per day, some times more, sometimes less. Super comfortable, easy to use, and battery life for days! I high recommend this ultralight headlamp. It's the best I've ever had.
While we may be known for our ultralight shelters, backpacks, quilts, and clothing, we also offer all different types of accessories for your backcountry needs.

Zpacks Ventum Wind Shell
Amazingly light but cuts the wind and holds the heat in with a layer underneath!
– Joe B., ★★★★★
Choosing the right layer for crisp spring mornings and chilly fall nights can be a challenge. Our Ventum Wind Shell is crafted to cut the breeze and trap warmth in your base layer or against your skin.
Ventum fabric strikes the right balance between cutting cold wind while still allowing enough breathability for sweat to escape when hiking on chilly mornings and evenings.
It’s perfect for when a base layer alone is not enough, but insulation would make you overheat. Weighing under 2 ounces this is a must-have item for when you plan to hike in cool weather.
This windshell is unisex sizing. We do also have some women's sizes in our Bargain Bin while supplies last.
