Mainly I am so paranoid about leaving my equipment behind in the dark I needed something that wouldn't be one of those things that I would also need a light to find. Having this on my head made perfect sense. The battery life is good and the light is excellent. I did some research and called a few places before buying. What sold me was a phone call I made to this company ( http://www.healthybizhealthyhome.com/Petzl-NAO-Headlamp_p_124.html ). They took the time to describe the product and were great at making me feel secure in my purchase with them. Anyway, this product has well earned the time and money I paid for it.<br />TyMisixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087700573229251247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255787720146163342.post-56989188477031990722012-10-02T11:35:52.181-07:002012-10-02T11:35:52.181-07:00Great piece Ellie.

The Javelina Night Run 50k (same course as the Javelina 100 mi) I had a blast and barely used my headlamp because of the full moon.Alex Bridgeforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621110185635907562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255787720146163342.post-8140963471453140802012-09-21T16:21:34.004-07:002012-09-21T16:21:34.004-07:00Drew, yep - unfortunately the NAO doesn't come...Drew, yep - unfortunately the NAO doesn't come cheap but if you have some extra gear money to spend at some point i would think it's worth it, especially if you also cycle as I happily plan to use it on my bike commuting this winter. More uses would justify the price :)Ellie Greenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053246362407725539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255787720146163342.post-56617539849241180542012-09-20T12:08:08.507-07:002012-09-20T12:08:08.507-07:00Ellie - as someone who has one of the 'cheaper...Ellie - as someone who has one of the 'cheaper' Petzl head torches but would love to upgrade (if I can justify it) I was very interested in the NAO review. I've just googled it (to get an idea on price) and it may have to wait a while. Looks like a lovely bit of kit though...Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149694504582875067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255787720146163342.post-83758039746796525452012-09-19T20:37:31.625-07:002012-09-19T20:37:31.625-07:00Stephen - yes, I used the strap that went over the...Stephen - yes, I used the strap that went over the top of the head too and found that it didn't bother me at all and that the headlamp stayed in place really well!Ellie Greenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053246362407725539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255787720146163342.post-11210778230155296082012-09-19T12:50:48.260-07:002012-09-19T12:50:48.260-07:00Hi Ellie, great reviews.

When you wore the NAO, did you use the "over the top of the head" strap as well?Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335211920307852835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255787720146163342.post-39969011962371347532012-09-06T05:17:04.323-07:002012-09-06T05:17:04.323-07:00So that's your secret!!! you run so fast so yo...So that's your secret!!! you run so fast so you don't have to run in the dark, because you think your bad at it. i get it now :) Congratulations on another great race!jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920356602799983110noreply@blogger.com
