Bright and durable
This is my third black diamond head lamp. They are easy to use, bright and hold up to tough use and abuse. The hinge on the storm has had major improvements and increased the quality of the headlamp. Every headlamp I get from black diamond seems to amaze me.

Headlamp for Night XC Skiing/Hunting
I bought this headlamp for night cross country skiing, hunting, hiking, and camping. I have had this headlamp for a couple of weeks now and am impressed with the size and how bright it is. I don't know how long the batteries will hold a charge in the cold winter months but so far am very impressed. I would recommend this product.

Not durable
Latch on the side broke shortly after purchasing, making the headlamp unusable.
