The included USB Type-C charging cable seamlessly plugs into the unit, enabling quick and convenient recharging. The most notable update from Fenix HM65R-T is the dual spot design, which provides a powerful 1300lm, 170m White spotlight and a 400lm Warm White 92m spot/flood combination. Magnesium is known for its strength-weight ratio, making this headlamp an ideal choice for long-distance hikers who require gear capable of withstanding rigorous outdoor conditions. The four LED indicators also light up when either button is pressed when the light is off to show remaining battery power. The forehead strap has some grippy parts that keep it in place, and the over-the-head part is fairly adjustable.

The Fenix HM65R-DT is perfect for someone intending to use it for hours at a time, as its adjustable fit and lack of bounce won’t interfere with comfortability. Lifetime maintenance: If repair is required after 2 years from the date of purchase, Fenix will charge for parts. For extra durability and resilience the HM65R has triple proofing properties and is made from lightweight magnesium alloy, which is 32% lighter than the equivalent aluminium alloy body, and it is drop resistant to 2 metres distance as well as being waterproof to IP68 standard.In my defense, I get headaches with most headlamps, but I could definitely tell the difference with this one because of the weight. This powerful, light weight magnesium model is dedicated to trail running and boasts many features that give the growing field of Trail and Ultra runners the lighting they need to tackle many hours in the dark. HM65R has also found its way into many rescue teams who rely on its outstanding durability and performance. While that’s fine for training, it doesn’t work, at all, for anyone who needs to spend hours in the dark. Another point on unscrewing the tailcap – it’s difficult, due to how close the headband, etc is to the cap.

For us in the bushcraft world, it’s a great combination; the main beam produces plenty of useable light, it goes low enough to use close up if you were cooking or carving and high enough to see far ahead if you’re on the move, or if you need to illuminate an area. The HM65R ShadowMaster headlamp is perfect for your arduous pursuits from best fishing headlamp, best hunting headlamp to military headlamp and many more. At half power on the main Spotlight, it’s 400 lumens for 12 hours (battery life is more accurate at this level), which seems like plenty when running through the night in an ultra.Powered by the included 18650 battery, this headlamp is USB-C rechargeable and includes a battery level indicator.
