I have used mine for 2 seasons ranging from cold winter to hot summer nights and am thoroughly impressed. They are not the brightest lights on the market, but certainly the most reliable, durable and lightweight considering their durability. I commute with mine daily throughout the winter and just keep both the battery and lighthead on my helmet. I have trekked all night on one 3-hour battery (before they had high/low). When night trail riding, I normally only have either my bar light or my helmet light on. I only use both when I'm really cooking down a trail or am helping someone else who's lights have kacked out.
For Patagonia last year, we used a combo of Ay-Ups and Princeton Tec APEX Pro (
