Looking for a really bright headlamp capable of lighting up your nighttime adventures but feel like 2,000+ lumens is slightly overkill? The Gloworm Alpha RF brings a very useful 1,200 lumens and all the functionality, reliability, and quality that the New Zealand brand is known for, but at a friendlier price and smaller footprint. But by no means should you feel like you’re settling. The Alpha RF will still allow you to keep excellent vision while boot packing, front pointing, breaking trail, sprinting uphill, making high-speed turns, and whatever else you do while ski mountaineering in the dead of night. Like others in the Gloworm lineup, the lightweight - yet robust - light is powered by a separate battery pack via the included cord. Possibilities galore, you can place the battery pack on your head, in your bag, or within your jacket. Included are several mounting options, a smart charger, a spare optic, a hex tool, the TX Remote, and more. Water-resistant and shockproof means that the Alpha RF can take any abuse your nocturnal adventures have in store for it. After experiencing the Gloworm Alpha RF, you won’t ever want to go back to those meager, stretchy band-style headlamps.
