The standout feature of the BioLite HeadLamp 800 Pro is the moisture sensor. It sounds like a gimmick — a sensor that detects rain and automatically switches to a low-angle flood beam so you do not blind yourself with reflected light in fog or rain. The sensor genuinely works, and once experienced in real fog, it's hard to want a headlamp without it.

The 800 Pro lights up the space around you well, but doesn’t cut through darkness over distance. As such, this is an excellent headlamp for climbing or canyoneering when you don’t need to see a long distance, just detail close by. The battery lasted an impressively long time, too, almost 21 hours.
