'Sprinter' Headlamp Made for Runners of the Night

I’m all for seeing and more importantly being seen on the road but the geek factor on the Sprinter is a little too high for me. Not too sure runners are going to want all of that equipment circling their heads for their after hours jog. I see some cyclists using these also along with attached rear view mirrors and other gadgets. Cyclists can run in their jerseys and simply attach a blinky to a rear pocket. Your head gets sweaty enough without added extra gadgets on top.

This would be ideal for anyone running Ragnar. I plan on getting one.

I think its a great set up. I run with a headlamp all the time. 75 lumens is a good lighting factor especially if the front case is not overly bulky. The USB charge dosen’t wow me as I will easily use a headlamp for 5+ hours at a time outdoors. I do like the rear LED. A lot of people I know like myself who do obstacle course racing and training at night, want this option over wasting chem lights. Not as bright but not as wasteful.

Excited to hear about the changes for next year. I originally read about the Sprinter on your site when you had a preview model before they even came out. I ordered one direct from BD the day they were released & couldn’t be happier. While it wouldn’t be my first choice for backpacking trips (due to the rechargable batteries), it’s perfect for running at night. Having a rechargable headlamp means that I’m never out on a run when the battery runs out. Plus the rear strobe is a huge benefit for running on roads in the dark. The headlamp is perfectly weighted for running (at least for me). I don’t even think about it once it’s on my head.

Solid light for short runs. It was my primary light for the Grindstone 100 and did not hold enough charge to last more than 10 hours.
