Most Valuable Gear: Princeton Tec Fuel Headlamp

A lightweight headlamp with powerful performance!

A headlamp is an integral part of most outdoor adventures, so it is important to choose one that is comfortable and unobtrusive, while providing the lighting performance that you need. When you are trail running, hiking, climbing or biking, your headlamp shouldn't be a distraction or a weight on your head, yet it is essential to light the trail or route. The Fuel headlamp from Princeton Tec is a perfect option for exceptional lighting power at a light weight and a great price, which is why we have chosen it as an Outdoor gear Exchange/ GearX.com Most Valuable Gear selection!

Here are 3 reasons why we love the Princeton Tec Fuel headlamp:

1. Ultralight Weight

The Princeton Tec Fuel stands out among its competitors due to a surprisingly light weight. While many outdoor headlamps weigh as much as 90 to 120 grams, the Fuel is just 78 gram (with batteries). Cutting headlamp weight is particularly noticeable, since added weight on the head can be an annoyance or hinder performance. The Fuel is light enough that you won't even notice it's there! fuel-heroMVG

2. Powerful Lighting

While the Fuel has a light weight, it doesn't sacrifice lighting power. At a 70 lumen brightness level and with a burn time of 146 hours (lowest setting), the Fuel is an effective headlamp for anything from lighting your way during a trail run, to hiking out from the crag or setting up camp at the end of a long day in the backcountry. The Fuel utilizes a focused-wide beam pattern that is great for a variety of activities and enhances peripheral vision.

3. Simple, Minimalist Design

The light, effective features of the Princeton Tec Fuel are framed by a simple, easy to use design. The headlamp itself is small with a thin and comfortable headband. The headlamp pivots easily on an asymmetrical single arm for easily moving the beam wherever you need it to point. Additionally, the Fuel is durable and can withstand the rigors of your favorite outdoor pursuits. A large push-button controls the activation of the beam for easy operation,  while a tough, simple battery door protects the batteries and internal electronics. fuel-hero3_1
