The Headband arrived, it's very nice. The rubber of the holder is softer than I expected. But it holds 1AA lights that don't have a clip with a firm grip. I guess it would be difficult to get a Hugsby P31/P32 in there without taking off the clip. The smoother the surface of the light is the better. But when you manage to get the light in the holder, it is a rock solid fit. The belt is adjustable in length and sits on my head just fine... overall very recommended if you own a smooth 1xAA/1x14500 light and intend to use it as a headlamp. I can confirm the observations juhha made below.
The "backordered" is normal for Kai, I think it's just a poor choice of words... they mean ordered at the manufacturer/reseller as they don't have anything in stock. All those chinese/HK-based stores are just-in-time/just-on-order dealers. ;-)
Received it today. Took 4 weeks to arrive, since purchase.
It feels fine on my head. The band is smooth, and not agressive to the skin. The elastic that holds the flashlight is not noticeable when wearing the band. I heard that some zebralight users complain about the two rubber threads, that they are unconfortable and leave marks. These will leave marks as well, but it is not unconfortable, or hurts in anyway.
The rubber rings are 17mm in diameter. It will hold lights up to 23mm in diameter. Probably will hold lights that are bigger than that, but I am afraid to strech the rubber that far.
It will hold the TrustfireZ1(intended light to use with this band) just right.. You have to take of the belt clip, so it can be pointed to the front.
Then you received yours before mine arrived. First impressions sound nice for the price paid. I hope mine will arrive soon. Sounds that it will be perfect for most 1AA + 2AA flashlights.
Definitely before! I wish I could find my U20 as it would make a great fiddly work illuminator - these days my arms are too short to read stuff unless there's a lot of light. Trying to read motherboard print in that 1 point Flyspeck Sans font they user is beyond any amount of light though.
Ordered :-) I hope there is no side spill that gets in your eyes. I think this will be a good way to get into headlamps, I just cant justify spending 30 dollars on a UF series headlamp.
Are there any cheaper alternatives to a UF-Hx with a similar design?
I have bought only one other headlamp (and that was quite recently) since i bought the Zebralight H50 pretty much when it was announced about 5 years ago.
