Running with a head lamp

[gt7301b]

I tried to do a tempo run this AM wearing my head lamp and when I increased my speed the fool thing kept sliding down and hitting me in the nose.  It was tightened as tight as I could get it.  Do I just need a better head lamp?  Any tips?

I wear mine over a hat, and it solves the problem.

I make mine as big as it goes and wear around my waist/chest

I wear it over a hat.

Also - FYI, my Costco has 3 packs for $9.99. So far they seem just fine...not sure how that's possible!

Stupid question, can you still see things that are close with the hat?

kams, I'll have to check Costco. I feel like I paid 2x that for the head lamp that tried to take out my nose.

I just point it out a ways - I think it's fine, but I've never tried it without a hat. 

And yes - the costco pack even comes with batteries! Honestly, I thought it must be mismarked, but I saw the same deal a couple of days ago!

I also wear a hat. My head lamp (I think it is energizer, I got it off of amazon) can be tilted so that you can see the ground in front of you (I am most worried about tripping).

Lol, I'm worried about running over an animal, dead or alive.

Even wearing mine with a headband helps - its like my hair is too slippery?

They also have fancy ones that have a band between the front/back that would fit along a center part in your hair. (worst description ever)

I wear mine with a hat or headband, too.

Are the Costco ones heavy? They each use three AAA batteries, right? The one I use now takes one or two AA, I can't remember.

A lot of my running friends do this.  Mine generally stays put on my head.  I think you need a different one.

Yes!  I got crazy excited when I saw these there yesterday.  I was going to post here.  I'm trying it out for the first time tomorrow morning!  We'll see how it goes.

I wear mine around my chest, kinda over my bra strap. Works great.

Mine is a cheap one from Target.

Mine is from LL Bean...I'm not sure how much it was since I had a gift card. But it stays put nicely

This is what I do.
