This Headlamp Is Genius, Here's Why

You've probably never seen a headlamp like this before. I haven't. The way it powers itself is unique and awesome. This is the Forclaz HLD100 Dynovation headlamp from Decathlon and I only paid $10 for it...in France. As of filming, you can't buy this next level camp gadget in the US, but hopefully that changes, because I was impressed. I hope you enjoy this outdoor gear review!

That’s the perfect light for a motorcycle bag.
If someone made one with a usb option with pull cable backup I’d buy in a heartbeat. I love the retractable cord, because you can wear it on your wrist, or put it around something nearby… etc. throw a magnet on it too and you have a ton of utility and versatility.

This is a great light for a backup, a light for the glove box or a go bag

[@theoutdoorempire]

I totally agree. Wish I would have bought a few.

[@MyChannel-vm6dw]

Me , imagining myself frantically trying to charge this damn thing in the dead of night during a rainstorm while be chased by a hungry bear😂😂😂😂

[@theoutdoorempire]

😳 Indeed, you paint a different and horrifying picture. 😂

[@beauxtx1959]

Very cool!

[@aa-ron2243]

Great content!👍

[@theoutdoorempire]

Thanks for watching!

[@scubacro5758]

Can you do review of other two headlamps you got from Decathlon ?

[@theoutdoorempire]

Perhaps I will, thanks for the suggestion.

[@joemamamia1751]

This is pretty sick!!

[@theoutdoorempire]

I was pretty excited about it.

[@markifi]

how waterproof is it

[@theoutdoorempire]

TBD. I think it'll be fine in light rain, but would be worried if I dropped it in the creek.

The signup for email does not work ... no acknowledge button.

Oh no! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. We'll look into it.

[@chado_outdoors]

Paetzl already did this.

[@elisebrown5157]

really? what model?

[@chado_outdoors]

@@elisebrown5157 Petzl Zipka

[@zooloo73]

@@chado_outdoors I found the Petzl Zipka with retractable headband, but I cannot see anything about recharging. The ones I found use regular batteries. Do they have several models?

[@chado_outdoors]

@@zooloo73 yes, they did. The one I have is rechargeable. From what I see, they were discontinued and no longer sold

[@theoutdoorempire]

Very interesting. The Zipka I'm finding online had a similar strap/cord, but wasn't rechargeable like yours. If it's discontinued and this one I found was on sale when I bought it, makes me wonder if the concept just never really caught on with folks. Or maybe was unreliable? Who knows. Has yours been reliable?
