The new BioLite HeadLamp 200 is an ultra-lightweight rechargeable headlamp that is incredibly comfortable and stays in place on those early morning trail runs or evening camp setups. BioLite sent us a review unit earlier this year and we have been spending the last couple of months putting this headlamp to good use. Below is what we have learned when using it running, hiking, camping, and then just around the house doing odd jobs that we needed a light for.

UAG was gracious enough to send one out for a review and the following are the benefits and a couple shortcomings that I have noticed.
