The Adventure Begins 

The Speed Project Women's Team set out on an ambitious endeavor. It was a 426-mile relay from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas, completed in under 56 hours. About half of this journey occurred in the darkness, making intense lighting a convenience and necessity. 

Visibility is crucial on country roads and secondary highways. The right lighting ensures that runners are visible to oncoming traffic and illuminates the path ahead on less traveled sections.

Lighting the Way

The team trusted the Fenix HL32R-T rechargeable headlamp throughout their journey. This headlamp became indispensable, providing consistent, powerful lighting that guided them through the darkest hours. Let's delve into what makes this headlamp stand out.

This headlamp boasts impressive brightness and a well-designed beam spread that enhances trail visibility. Runners praised the headlamp's ability to illuminate their path clearly, ensuring they could easily navigate even the trickiest sections.

The headlamp's brightness was a game-changer. One runner noted, "This headlamp puts my old headlamps and handheld flashlights to shame. So much brighter and more powerful!" 

Another member said about this Fenix headlamp, "I had way more visibility, and it stayed bright for a long time."

  • Reliable Battery Life

Battery life is a critical factor during long relays. Team members highlighted this headlamp's dependable battery. Some mentioned they never had to recharge it during the entire race. 

The long-lasting battery was a significant advantage. "I don't think I had to charge it once during the Speed Project," shared a team member. The USB-C charging option was also a highlight, making it easy to recharge quickly when necessary.

  • Comfortable Fit and Adjustability 

Comfort is paramount during long runs. This running headlamp features an adjustable strap that fits snugly without being too tight. Runners appreciated the wide strap and the easy-to-use mechanism for adjusting the size. It ensured a stable fit throughout their runs.

Comfort during a 56-hour relay is non-negotiable. The adjustable strap received high praise for its tight yet comfortable fit. "The strap was just right, not too tight," one runner said. "The wide strap design made it comfortable to wear for long periods," she added.

  • Durability and Usability 

Durability is crucial for any running headlamp, and this headlamp for running didn't disappoint. 

"The durability of the casing is amazing," commented a team member. Another strong point was the ease of use. Runners found it simple to turn on, off, and switch between settings even while running.

The team's overall impressions of the headlamp were overwhelmingly positive. The brightness, durability, and comfort significantly improved their performance. 

"I felt safe with the headlamp in complete darkness," one runner mentioned. This sense of security is invaluable when running through unlit, remote areas.

However, there were some minor challenges. Some team members suggested that it could be the best running headlamp if it were lighter. Others suggested that it would be better if the buttons were more user-friendly. These insights are invaluable for continuous improvement.
