A great EDC light will serve you well in the dark, better than any cell phone flash can. But when you need both hands free, only a headlamp will do. That’s because whether you’re running around for exercise, hiking a mountain, or trying to get stuff done in a dimly-lit garage, you’re not always going to be able to dedicate one of your hands for a torch, no matter how small it is. You might think having a dedicated headlamp might clutter up your carry, but the extra space one can take up is well worth it. Plus, modern models suited for everyday carry size things down to a compact footprint, and their bright tech and smart features make them a joy to use. There’s lots of great options for headlamps out there, which means you can pick the one with the features you need at the price you want to spring for. To help you out, we’ve put together a list of some of our favorite LED headlamps for everyday carry in this guide.
