"I’ve had the Storm+ for a couple weeks now, mostly on night hikes with my family outside Capitol Reef National Park and on trail runs in the dark around Park City. The terrain was rocky desert trail and slickrock down south, and dirt and rocky singletrack at home. Most outings were cold, with mornings and nights below freezing. Ease of use is the reason I love this light. After a quick look at the Quickstart guide, I never had to think about it again. There are two buttons and you know what you’re going to get. There’s no cycling through a long list of modes, and no guessing what will come on the next time you turn it on. The red and green modes are easy to get to, which matters when you’re moving in the dark, have gloves on, or don’t want to blind your kids. I’ve owned a lot of headlamps and this is the first one I could run without fumbling. For lighting, the max spot was great for picking out the trail and cairns way ahead on the Capitol Reef hikes, and for reading the ground on fast trail runs. The peripheral light was enough for close-up stuff like digging through a pack or helping my kids with their shoes. Brightness memory is a big deal for me. I set it where I want it and it comes back on at that level, so I’m not starting at full blast and burning battery for no reason. Dialing it down when I didn’t need max output was easy. On battery, I never ran it low. Charging over USB-C was simple, I just plugged it in with my phone between outings. The power indicator gave me peace of mind before heading out on cold mornings, when batteries usually let me down. I used Digital Lock every time I tossed it in my pack, and it never turned on by accident. It feels heavy duty but not too heavy. It was comfortable on my head for a full night hike and on runs without bouncing. The size is worth it for the light you get. I haven’t had it in rain or snow yet, but the cold didn’t slow it down at all. Ski season is next. I do a lot of early morning skiing and I’m planning to clip the Storm+ to my backpack sternum strap so I can wear a helmet and still have strong light out front. That’s going to change how I handle safety on those dark mornings. I liked it enough that I’m buying a second one for my wife to replace the other brand I got her last year. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review."
"Very powerful headlamp with good battery life and lots of light options. I used it for a section of a 100k race and it did it's job well to illuminate the dark grassy/wooded trail at night. However, the lamp itself is quite heavy, so was constantly slipping off my forehead, and I had to readjust it often, which was really annoying and distracting. Perhaps would be better for just hiking or camping, but for something with a higher impact, it does not stay put. I ended up switching to my much lighter weight biolite headlamp for the last hours of the race."
"This light is nice . . . . but I think maybe trying too hard to be 'all things to all people. ' It's rechargeable AND lasts a long time — and who doesn't want that, right? Thing is, it accomplishes it by having a big, heavy battery. So you have this heavy thing on your forehead and don't get nearly as much brightness as you'd hope for. Personally I'd rather just use old-school batteries, which would give me much longer battery life for less size/weight. Maybe that's just me. But where this guy just fails is that it can't point at your hands! If you want to shine the light on your hands you have to put your chin on your chest and look out the top of your eye sockets. It's terrible! All they have to do is increase the angle on the pivot socket. Ugghhhh. This is why you never buy the first model year of something. Please - Black Diamond - take this thing away from me and send me next year's model!"
"This headlamp is great, very powerful. The tap tech is a bit odd, and difficult to work always."
"I have been ultrarunning for 45 years. This headlamp is the best I've ever owned."
"Modèle de lampe plus puissante que modèle précédent. Commande reçue rapidement."
"I've been waiting for years for Black Diamond to upgrade their product line to USB-C. The moment I saw this model I ordered one, which I received today. Can't comment on overall performance, which I imagine is comparable to the 400R but much brighter. But I AM very disappointed that it only charges at 1 watt, so no fast charging support. A dead battery will still take several hours (3++) to fully charge. Huge missed opportunity that maybe saved them a couple bucks. Hurray for the executive who got a bonus for reaping the company these huge savings. The strap has been redesigned to no longer place the adjustment buckles against your scalp, which is great. But the pivoting mounting bracket seems to have the same design and material, which is destined to fail within a few years with no way to repair or replace. So more planned obsolescence."
"A Great Upgrade for a Longtime Black Diamond Headlamp User I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I've been using Black Diamond headlamps for years (Storm 350 and Storm 500-R), so I was excited to try the Storm+. I brought it along for climbing, hiking, and backpacking, and I absolutely love this upgrade. One of my favorite improvements is the USB-C charging. This might seem like a small detail, but being able to use the same charging cable for multiple devices makes a real difference. I actually brought my Storm 500-R along on a trip but forgot the Micro-USB cable, so I couldn't recharge it. It's also a big improvement over my old Storm 350, which required carrying spare batteries. The Storm+ is also very easy to use, especially if you're already familiar with Black Diamond headlamps. The controls and settings are the same as the Storm 500-R, so there isn't much of a learning curve. I also appreciate the digital lockout feature, which helps prevent the headlamp from accidentally turning on and draining the battery while packed away in a backpack or pocket. The Storm+ is by far the most comfortable of the three for me. Comfort matters, especially when you're wearing a headlamp for extended periods. The brightness is another major upgrade. The Storm+ is noticeably brighter than my previous headlamps. I have poor night vision, so I really appreciate having that extra brightness when navigating in the dark. It's easy to use especially if you're already familiar with Black Diamond headlamps. I really like that Black Diamond has improved an already dependable product with practical features that make a difference outdoors. The USB-C compatibility, increased brightness, improved comfort, and familiar controls make the Storm+ my favorite of the three."
