SKU# BDSPRINTERHEAD

Winner of the Outdoor Friedrichshafen industry award for 2010, the Black Diamond Sprinter opens up the dark for those whose running isn’t restricted to daytime hours. This rechargeable streets-to-trails runner’s headlamp features excellent fore-aft balance and a super low profile, which minimises bouncing and shifting with your stride. A red rear strobe offers safety around cars while a strong, ovalised beam keeps your vision focused on the path ahead.

Feedback from one of our Auckland customers: Thought I'd drop you a line and let you know it's excellent as a urban 'park' running headlamp.
Is lightweight and balanced (stable) even when bounding. The beam is flood rather than spot which means you don't get dizzy chasing a little bobbling point. It's bright enough to run normal pace off-road under canopy in the dark - if you know the track.
The light doesn't have quite enough throw or contrast to bomb the downhills or take totally unfamiliar territory at full pace, but is more than adequate for training and semi urban adventures.
Rechargeable aspect is great and dock system seems to work well. The only slight design niggle is that there is a bit of dazzle/glare from the lens, though I now use a cycling cap to shield my eyes so isn't a problem anymore.

    • Hi, The Sprinter is not compatible with other charging systems as it requires a specific charger that is included with the headlamp. Thanks
