Kinetic 800 Pro Headlamp

Yeah. It's another headlamp.

There are maybe four hundred of them on the internet right now. Ours isn't the one with the famous logo, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.

So here's the honest pitch: you already know the big ski/hike brands you're supposed to buy. We're the third option, at $49.99, and here's exactly where we beat them.

800 lumens, and both beams at once.
Spot for 500, flood for 500, or run them together for the full 800. Most lamps in this price bracket make you pick one. Reach down the trail and wide light on the thing in your hands, at the same time. 

The wave sensor is the part you'll actually miss on other lamps.
Hands full of ratchet strap, or in gloves, or covered in chain lube. Wave, it's on. Wave, it's off. Sounds like a gimmick until the first time you use it, then every lamp without it feels broken.

Smooth dimming, not four preset steps.
Roll it to exactly the brightness you want. It remembers where you left it and comes back there. No cycling through six modes to get back to the one you like.

Red light that lasts 30 hours.
Map, tent, keeping your night vision, not blinding whoever you're riding with.

IPX6, impact-resistant, 132 grams, USB-C.
No proprietary charging brick. The same cable that charges your phone.

What we're not going to tell you:
That it's the lightest lamp made, or that a lab in France spent nine years on the strap. It's a well-built lamp with a better feature set than anything near its price, from a company that answers its own emails.

Buy the famous one if you want. But if you're going to spend fifty bucks, spend it on more light.
