After much initial research - I am glad I made the call on this headlamp for running! I bought it in advance of daylight savings, as I typically run after work, and searched for something that would be great for running in addition to any other task I may need a headlamp for down the line. I think this one checks all the boxes quite well.
As for exercising, the separated battery makes for a much more comfortable headlamp, and the easily adjustable strap allows for quick adjustments on the fly. I particularly like that the headlamp is all plastic - no worries about a fabric headband getting gross over time! The whole thing can be easily wiped down to clean - a big plus in my book.
As for other features, the headlamp is plenty bright on the low setting for running on partially lit streets. The high setting is quite bright and seems like it would be sufficient for any trail runs. For storage, the headlamp can be clicked together and folds nicely into its carrying case that doubles as a lamp - which seems great for camping or any other outdoor/travel activities. I have had no issues with battery life, but I have not used it in extreme cold and charge it weekly/every other week.
My only draw back is that I wish the light could be adjusted down slightly more when wearing it - to better illuminate the ground in front of you. But that drawback is minor all things considered.
Overall, I think this is a great headlamp as it is bright, well designed for a broad variety of activities, and can be easily stored in a nice carrying case. Glad I went with it!
