the creep Eugene - Ahhh, the creep. I've been ok with the creeping lately, but I find that it is still nice to do the occasional trimming for nothing more than the sake of simplicity. Nowadays though... |

Mammut Lucido TXLite 4.5/5 This would be my actual rating due to its unregulated nature, but I'll bump it up since most headlamps of its kind fall into this category. Super bright and long lasting with 3AAA'... |
