I’ve had a Xtar 18650 headlamp for a few years and the headband is starting to go.
I’m looking for recommendations for a replacement.
The Armytek and Olight look interesting. Let me know if you guys have any experience with either of them.

Also, are the Zebralight and new Convoy headbands any good?
This form factor made/sold by Nitecore & Sunwayman have worked quite well for my purposes:
I have a Convoy headband which I’ve messed with a little. Its ok, ya get what ya pay for. I am absolutely 100% satisfied with my Armytek Wizard’s headband thus far. Comfy, firm, holds well, easy to adjust. Extra o-ring strap if you need more security but ya won’t…
I have a couple of ZebraLight headlamps and I like the headbands. The silicone holder is a tight fit, which is good for keeping the light aimed where you want it. It could be inconvenient if you plan on removing and re-installing the light frequently. I’ve heard of folks tearing the ZebraLight silicone but that hasn’t happened to me.
I also own the Armytek Wizard Pro with the newer style headband and the o-ring retainer. It’s ok, but I find the hard plastic mount a bit bulky and uncomfortable after wearing it for a while.
I removed the strap that goes over the top of your head and both stay put just fine for my uses. I keep the headbands loose so they sit high on my forehead rather than farther down to tightly hug it.
I wear headlamps for closeup tasks and hiking. I’d probably need to cinch them tighter if I was running or doing gymnastics. 
Depending on your task, you could experiment with wearing the headband loosely around your neck.
Others have developed a way to re-thread the ZebraLight headband to position a layer of fabric between your forehead and the silicone mount. I find it more comfortable this way, but perhaps a bit more fiddly to adjust:
I own 2 skilhunt headmands, they are the three strap as well and seems high quality. i believe they now even release a new holder with a clip, so you don’t have to fiddle the light in and out
i make my own, i use wide bands 35-40mm (as opposed to stock 25mm bands) they hold the light better, but to use them i make my own holders as well, that are wider, also wider base helps keep lights more steady,
some examples below. i make such holders for all headlight i have, i like them much better than silicone ones, i can easy remove the light from there.
I like your custom headbands and holders alpg88. They look very comfortable. I often wear a headlight for over an hour and can see the benefits of your wider band design.
Another thumbs up on the home made mounts! Are you 3d printing those?
yes.
Zebralight headbands for 18650 headlamps feel comfortable and secure.
I like my one! But I’m not sure if the holder will last if a flashlight is constantly being removed and inserted…
Is it comfortable and sturdy?
Hi everyone! I
hope you’re all doing well and that it’s okay for me to bring up this old thread again. I’ve purchased at least four Olight Perun 2 headtorches, and I still use two of them regularly. I’m really happy with my choice and have no plans to switch to the Perun 3. However, I would like to find a more comfortable headband. I’ve heard that MYOG projects are great, but I don’t really have the skills for that. What’s the latest on comfortable headbands for 21700 right angle headtorches? What about the headbands for the Armytek Wizard C1/ELFC1 or the Armytek Wizard C2 Pro Max? Are they any good? I appreciate any updates, and happy trails! ヽ༼ʘ̚ل͜ʘ̚༽ﾉ
I use a convoy H3 headband for my emisar DW4k 21700 headlamp, must say it’s pretty comfortable.
I also ordered a wurkkos HD20 silicone holder for the same headlamp
I don’t remember who told me this, but I saved the text in case I get a Convoy 21700 headlight:
“Wurkkos sell the HD20 headband in the official store, just grab another for the Convoy. The HS20/HD20 headband fits the 21700 HS41 nicely, so the H3/H4 should also be okay.”
Hey everyone! I really appreciate both of your suggestions! Just to confirm, are the straps you mentioned at least 1.5 inches or 35mm wide? Thanks!
I have no idea. 
No , those are all 1" wide, that’s the most common size.
1.5" is a very rare size
Thanks so much for the update! I also came across that the Skilhunt HB3 headband might work with the Perun 2 too.
