No USB C
Great headlamp but not charging via usbc in 2025 is extremely frustrating and makes it hard to recommend. Literally the only thing I own that charges with micro usb.

For a through hike. . .
I needed a new headlamp for my upcoming through hike on the Arizona Trail. I think it is very important to have long battery life and low lumen output options. On through hikes it is usually days between charging opportunities, in some cases over a week. Most of the use for the light will be managing gear in the dark or using the facili-trees; which do not usually require brightness. Even if a night hike is needed, 200 lumens is more than enough. The functionality of the two buttons for most settings is very intuitive and the addition of the side tap for instant full bright is a nice touch (😀). Having a digital lock rather than a physical lock is a must! My high output headlamp for night skiing is a physical lock which I have bumped on while getting snacks or transition to DH. I will be replacing that headlamp with a digital lock style. I don't care too much for the red light option, but on a trail with shelters, like the AT, it is a must. Nothing wakes up the sleeping hiker next to you than a white light! It's also helpful in designated camping areas where folks may be packed tight.

Lightweight and Powerful
As a professional naturalist guide (for over 25 years), it's important to be prepared and well-equipped on all of the trips I lead and personal trips too. I'm excited about using this on the trail as my headlamp I carry on all of my day hiking trips and especially on backpacking trips. It is lightweight, compact and has a powerful beam that is dimmable. Having a red light option and the ability to lock the light in the off position were selling points for me as well. I've been looking for a high quality headlamp and I believe this one fits the bill!

Improvement over older versions of Spot headlamp
I've had several generations of Spot headlamps. This one is well engineered, comfortable, easy to use, and the rechargeability is nice.
