Does this have any padding or anything on the part that would sit against your forehead? I have purchased headlamps in the past for working on vehicles and they bite into your forehead after a while (even if not tightly worn) making them literally a...

There is a pad on the backside of the headlamp, forming a cushion for your forehead. It is approximately 1/4 inch thick, heavy duty rubber foam, dark color. The cushion works well, and the curvature presses evenly on the forehead. There is no other padding on the straps. The design works well and you can wipe the foam of sweat easily.

My ear plugs do protrude a little. In my full face helmet I have space between the ear plugs tube and the helmet padding. It does not bother me or feel uncomfortable. However, putting on the helmet with the ear plugs already in was a little bit of a chore.

How well does a hard hat secure to anyone's head? Trial and error my friend. It's not a cheap helmet. Snap on buys helmets from save phace and put their name on it. Of course Mark up the price 300%. I was confident in my purchase you will too.

No, the "cord" that wraps around your head is a fixed length. It has a spring quality to it though that keeps it tight against your head. I've had mine for a month now. My wife and I both use them and she has a much smaller head than I do but the fit us both well.

You could stretch it over a baseball cap, but it might be too slippery on top of a hardhat or helmet. Anything that fits close to the head, cap, knit hat, etc. would work, but anything big and shiny, helmet, hardhat, even a bike helmet might be tricky. As for under, again, anything flexible should work, but the battery pack is pretty big and would be tough to fit under some hats. The big battery gives you a bunch of run time and a VERY bright beam though, so don't let that put you off. I love this light!

The headlight is held to the handlebar with an elastic band that facilitates easy and quick removal and reattachment. So far the band hasn't shown any signs of failure or stretching, but I have only had the light for two months. The separate battery pack is held on with a velcro strap which has shaken loose a couple of times when I hit bad bumps. That's probably the weaker fastening system. I remove both when I park my bike at work.

It is a very bright white light that casts light forward of the headlamp. There is peripheral red light that is noticeable, however does not cast any light forward. Personally, I seldom notice it when looking forward into the white light. If this bothers Tyler, simple wrap a piece of black friction tape or other opaque tape around the red ring. Guaranteed, you won't be bothered by the red light anymore.

it sort of fits on my hard hat (the all-the-way-around-brim kind) but it really stretches the straps. the straps occasionally fall out of the plastic strap guides from this. i have replaced the center strap with a slightly longer one and it seems to fit my hard hat much better. i'm pretty pleased with this product - the main complaint i have is that i need to keep extra batteries on hand because the burn time is only a couple hours on low. a very bright headlamp for a very low price imo

Sure your head might get sore so. A hat turned around helps plus it keeps it in place. This light as been very helpful

Good news! It's Shiny and not matte!. It fits the best I've seen of all the DOT helmets! It sits super low!!! It had a funny smell when I got it but a small odor killer works just fine. It sits very nice on the head.

I found that the lamp did not bounce on my head strap. However, depending upon where you place the lamp on your head, for example on your forehead or further back the lamp may pivot. This happened a couple of times when I had it on my forehead, but when I placed it back more on my head it wouldn't happen. Hope this helps

Remove the two bolts holding on the headlamp place the metal frame over the two bolts tighten them down then put on the flair. It took me about 5 min t get it on with no problem this way.

Just as there are different sizes for hats, I suspect the same is true of covers, at least in terms of adult vs. child sizes. I bought a cover once and it did not even fit over my head. Do a search for child riding helmet covers. Or buy an adult cover and have it altered if need be.

Hi Robert-- The hat is just like a non-flashlight hat. In other words there is no front (or back) panel. It's totally comfortable and does an amazing job of lighting things up. The one I bought on Amazon I sent to my sister who is a zookeeper in Portland OR. The hat was such a hit that the zoo ended up buying them for all their employees who worked nights! I had received a similar hat the year before and use it more than any flashlight I own. I hope I have adequately answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more inquiries. Sincerely, Gordon Andersen

I have not had this problem. Make sure when you place it on your head, you have it stretched out so it fits down all the way on your head, covering your ears. Hope this helps

I have mine attached to the back of my helmet using a zip tie. My front light is also attached to the top of my helmet... I have a picture but I can't get it to post on this.

Yes, this one will fit on the forehead. It is not too wide like some others out there on the market. good fit.
