Why We Like The Black Diamond Distance 1500 Headlamp

When we are trail running, the Black Diamond Distance 1500 Headlamp is our number one choice for a headlamp. With multiple settings, a comfortable carry, and a super bright light, the Distance 1500 was made to lite up the night as we weave through the trees. There are three brightness modes from 15 to 800 lumens, with the option of cranking up the power to 1500 for a brief 10 seconds through PowerTap technology. The head strap comes with an optional top strap for additional security in technical terrain, and the external Li-ion battery can be changed quickly and easily with one hand.

Trail Tested - Review

I most recently used the Black Diamond Distance 1500 during the Bighorn 100 Mile Trail Race, and it absolutely delivered. Through rugged, technical terrain and a full night of running, the headlamp performed flawlessly. The variable beam angles and adjustable brightness settings made navigating in the dark feel effortless; running through the night was like a dream (like that?). The PowerTap boost came in especially handy for quick terrain checks or spotting distant trail markers, and the beam stayed strong and consistent all night long. I’m not sure how the weight compares to other headlamps in its class, but honestly, I often forgot it was even on my head. The light was secure and bounce-free, even on steep descents and uneven trails. The Distance 1500 is a serious piece of gear for serious nighttime efforts, and it has definitely earned a permanent spot in my ultra kit. Another top-notch product from Black Diamond!
