'Top 10' Gear of 2011 Awards!
November 21, 2011
From South America to the Austrian Alps, with dozens of domestic stops in between, 2011 was a year of high adventure for the GearJunkie crew. On mountain climbs, ultra runs, adventure races, bike events — and plain-old camping and backpacking trips with family and friends — we tested a serious load of outdoors equipment. The list below, Gear Junkie’s annual “Top 10 Gear” awards, gives a nod to our favorite new products, tested and approved, after a year of fun outdoors and around the globe. —Stephen Regenold, editor of GearJunkie.com
Fenix HP-11 Headlamp. In a week-long adventure race this year in Idaho, where Team GearJunkie/YogaSlackers was in the dark for nearly 50 hours of the event, the HP-11 literally shined. With a rated 277-lumen L.E.D., our team could ride singletrack mountain bike trails at full speed with this light, which requires four AA batteries. It runs for about 4 hours on that high setting, or about 25 hours on a lower light setting, which we use for hiking. The headlamp is waterproof, rugged, and (best part) costs only $65.
