Total failure
I bought this headlamp thinking it would change my kit, it was light, powerful and compact. Instead, I was met with a malfunction, the light wouldn’t turn on a week later with less than one minute of run time. A day later the light magically turned on, but wouldn’t turn off. So the light been on for hours, getting really warm for an LED. In short, I wouldn’t recommend this headlamp to any one.

Best bike light!
I never thought I'd use a headlamp as a bike light but it's perfect. Slips on the helmet easily and stays snug. Light is bright both front and back and because it's on my head it moves with me and is higher up for cars to see. Small enough to packs into a pocket between rides. And the battery lasts long enough that I don't have to charge very often. Solved so many problems I didn't even know I had. Highly recommend.

Great light with a not-so-great battery
Pros: Lightweight and very comfortable. I mostly use it for running and barely notice I'm wearing it. The front light is very bright. The rear light is very handy for visibility during low light runs. Lots light modes. Cons: Battery life! I'm not sure the light ever met the advertised battery life, but it has gotten much worse over time. When fully charged (all 4 indicator lights lit), it will very quickly be down to 1 light and giving me the low battery flash. And the low battery flash isn't reliable either. I've had it flash and then die within 5 min. Other times, it will flash and stay lit for 30+ mins (while continuing to give the annoying warning flashes). But it's to the point where I wouldn't feel comfortable taking it for a 30 min run. Also, mine does not stay sized. I had to put a piece of tape in front of the buckles to keep it from loosening. And like with most headlamps, the light modes can be a pain to cycle through.

Simply wonderful
Just a wonderful product. Great fit, easily adjustable, provides just the right level of illumination, and super easy to charge.

Great for runs!
I bought this headlamp for my husband about a year ago and he has loved running with it at night, decided to buy one for myself.

Versatile and functional
Comfortable and easy to use headlamp. Appreciate the multiple light levels and functionalities. Our power goes out, especially with Spring and Summer storms, and having it on hand means life can be uninterrupted even when the grid is unstable.

The Do-It-All Option
Big fan of BioLite here. This is my third headlamp from them, and it slots perfectly between my 330 and my 800 Pro. The 330 lives in my car as a go-to emergency and around camp light. I have also used it while running at night, but not too often. The 800 Pro is a beast, and it gets the most use as my primary light while night skiing in the backcountry. I was looking for something that was slimmer and lighter than the 800 Pro while offering more power than the 330, and the 425 is the perfect answer. Whether I am ski touring, bikepacking, car camping, night riding on my mtb, or hunting, this headlamp can be found in my pack or on my head. Battery life is stellar, and once you get used to the mode switching patterns, it is a breeze to operate. If I had to own just one headlamp, it would be this one.

Perfect with our rooftop tent!
Pulling into campsites in the dark has its challenges so we’re psyched to have the headlamps to move about without waking our neighbors. Although I prefer sharing spit, they also help with trucktop late night reading. Thanks BioLite

Very portable but battery life is disappointing
Compared to my last BioLite headlamp, this one offers superior weight (next to nothing!), which is both more comfortable for running and also better for ultralight hiking. But the battery life is not up to my endeavors. It gives out after about 1.5 hours of use, even on relatively low power settings.

Light, Bright, Comfortable
I was pleasantly surprised to find this headlamp to be so comfortable, as I thought the weight of the battery pack might affect the balance or fit. I am using it for work and can leave it on all day in complete comfort. It has a great balance of brightness and runtime, with easy to use controls. The headband feels like a better quality than on my previous lamps from another well know headlamp company.
