yea mine hs a zip tie also.. it sucks.. they are the brightest head lamps i have ever seen in that size.. I got an extra one brand new in the packaging tho as a backup.. They sent me a replacement and a brand new one also!! so its there for backup.
just bought 2 on amazon. $27+ shipping.
I rarely wear mine huntin anymore. Its just too danged heavy, especially in archery season when you got 4 gallons of sweat in your hat. I now wear a very small head band light with a green light(found it in fishing tool section in BPS). It is very light and just bright enough to light up my brite eyes perfectly. Now I also carry a 258 lumen tactical light every day in my front pocket as part of my conceal carry stuff. You don't realize how much you actually use and need a flashlight till you start carrying one
which tactical, wt, model,price? I've been using the cheaper remington mdl with 3 aaa batteries, much lighter/simpler and gets the job done. have used them for a long time as a nurse esp on the night shift
Fenix PD30

You can find them on Amazon for around $55 or so. It will flat out give someone a sun tan. I shined it in my own eyes after I got it, and I saw egg yolks for three days. It also runs on 2 surefire batteries(you can buy them by the box on ebay free shipping fairly cheap). Its got a pocket clip and fits in my front left pocket perfectly
I got my wife the PD20 for Christmas, which runs on 1 battery and is still like 180 Lumen. She loves it
