We Tried EVERYTHING to Break This Headlamp | PEAX Backcountry Duo Torture Test
Think your hunting headlamp is tough? We wanted proof.
Instead of taking the manufacturer's word for it, we put the PEAX Backcountry Duo through a series of durability tests to find out what it can actually survive. From soaking it in water and throwing it onto rocks to tossing it into a lake and putting it through one final punishment, we kept asking the same question:
How much abuse can one headlamp really take?
This isn't a lab test. These are the kinds of accidents that can happen on real hunts—dropping gear on rocky trails, getting caught in heavy rain, watching equipment fall out of your pack, or wondering if your gear will still work when you need it most.
If you're considering the PEAX Backcountry Duo for your next hunt, this video shows exactly how it holds up when things don't go according to plan.
