EP 309 - PEAX vs Fenix: One Headlamp Wins by a Landslide
About this episode
This episode reviews and compares the Fenix HM62-T and PEAX Backcountry Duo headlamps for backcountry use.

I’ve used the PEAX Duo for years, but after extensive testing in true backcountry conditions, I put it head-to-head with the Fenix HM62-T to find out which one truly deserves a spot in your pack. 🔍 Categories Compared:• Brightness & Lumens• Red Light Levels• Battery Life (18650 runtimes)• Fit & Headband Design (Boa vs standard)• Weather Resistance (IPX6 vs IP68)• Build Quality & Durability• Weight (Fully loaded comparison)• Price Point• Brand Transparency• USB-C Compatibility & Real-World Charging 00:00 - Intro & What to Expect 01:04 - Brightness: 1200 vs 1000 Lumens 02:36 - Red Light Functionality 03:08 - Light Modes & Level Options 03:41 - Battery Life & Charging Frequency 05:04 - Fit & Headband Design 05:56 - Construction & Build Quality 07:17 - Weight Comparison…
