Richard Garrett's Review of Black Diamond Storm375 Headlamp
I bought two of these for some hiking at Mount Saint Helens. I bought them for emergency use but also to hike in Ape caves prior to hiking to the summit of the mountain. We did both lower and upper caves with these headlamps. While in environments like this, you have to rely 100% on your light source since there is absolutely no light underground.
I didn't use any of the RGB features on the hike but it was nice to be able to adjust the brightness the headlamps to suit the needs at the time. Adjusting the brightness allows you to save battery power if you don't need the full 350 lumens. I also love the lock feature of the headlamps because it ensures you won't accidentally turn on the lamp in your backpack or suitcase.
The only downside is that there are a lot of features built in and only one button to control them all which means you have to memorize how to use each one. Not a difficult task but if I don't use these again for six months, I'll have to learn it again.
