Nitecore NU25 Review | Best all-round headlamp for hiking?

SO MANY HIKERS SWEAR BY THIS LAMP! The NItecore NU25 was a clear choice when choosing my next headlamp for hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. I Was in search of a feature-packed, lightweight, rechargeable headlamp for hiking and by far this is the best all-round headlamp that I've used so far.

In this review video, I go over my experience with the NU25 lamp over the last 300 miles after using it on the PCT, the Rota Vicentina, and the Skye Trail. I talk about how to use, the features, the specs, my thoughts on the headband shock cord mod and why I think it's the best headlamp I've used in 2020.

I also created Thrunotes, a waterproof, tear-resistant, recyclable notebook designed specifically for thru-hiking: https://thrunotes.co.uk
