What the Best Headlamps Offer

With a quality headlamp in your survival pack, you can always access a light source for reading a map, spotting wildlife, and finding your way back to camp. The best headlamps outlast the night while also giving you enough brightness to see your surroundings when it’s pitch black. 

On those moonless nights, it can be almost impossible to see, even with excellent eyesight. But a good headlamp will keep track, no matter how dark it is. 

The Pathfinder camping headlamp has a USB charging port, a built-in battery, and a USB charging cable so that you can power up your headlamp with your laptop, smartphone, or vehicle. 

You also get a powerful Velcro attachment, which works with the included headband and most backpacks. Attach it to the headlamp to illuminate the path ahead, or attach it to your pack to create a light source for others in your group. 

Why You Should Have a Headlamp with Green and Red Light Options 

The Pathfinder UL Scout Headlamp gives you three light colors: white, red, and green. 

• The white light helps you see in the dark and provides optimal illumination. Choose between 2 and 365 lumens for up to 200 hours of light on a single charge. 
• The red light option is less harsh, so your eyes will adjust to the light more quickly. You’ll also have better vision in dark areas – red light lets you focus faster and gives you better peripheral vision than white light. It’s also less distracting, so a headlamp with a red light is a must if you’re camping with others and need to see in the dark without waking up your crew. 
• Green light gives you more detail, making it useful for reading maps or navigation devices at night. Switch your Pathfinder headlamp from its white light to green when checking your compass. Green light also is better at penetrating long distances, letting you see what’s moving in the distance.

If you’re night fishing, the green light will also come in handy: Fish, insects, and animals won’t react to green lights, so you can observe, fish, and hunt without spooking the wildlife.
