What is the problem with the band you all speak of? I’ve been using one for a few months and haven’t had any issues. I bought mine on sale after using Costco headlamps for years and I have been happy with mine.
I think the band intersection with the housing (where it rides on your forehead) is not as comfortable as some headlamps. But for the price, I have no complaints(sofirn). I just used mine for a 9 day hunt and still had battery left when I got home.
