Perks
The 3.2-oz. Alaskan Guide Series QUL Headlamp is extremely lightweight--if the headband is adjusted correctly, you won't even feel like you're wearing it. Cabela's headlamps also have proven technology "under the hood"--the QUL is essentially the Cabela's name printed on a Princeton Tec Quad headlamp body.
Sacrifices
Headlamps with LEDs of any kind, especially the small 5mm kind, are better for providing flood-lighting than spot-lighting. Cabela's Alaskan Guide Series headlamps will surround your immediate field of vision but won't provide you a depth of vision.
Bottom Line
Cabela's Alaskan Guide Series Headlamps are good quality and comfortable. They are perfect for backpacking, ca camping, and for general hands-free lighting uses around the home. They are not for someone who needs to see clearly for 10 feet or more at night.
