The Fenix HM50R V2 is a 700-lumen EDC headlamp that detaches from its band and works just as well as a standalone right-angle flashlight. One light, two jobs — and it does both well.

It's built from A6061-T6 aluminum alloy with IP68 waterproof protection and 6.5ft drop resistance on all six sides. It's also USB-C rechargeable with a 16340 battery included. The reflective headband adds visibility in low-light situations.

It's been Taylor Martin's go-to headlamp for years — and once you use it, you'll understand why.
