The best lightweight helmet light and how to attach it

The Fenix HM65R is the only light I use while riding and racing in the dark. It's lightweight, uses rechargeable batteries, can be used while on as a "pass through," and is one of the most inexpensive lights out there.

If you have any video suggestions, please share in the comments below!

Fenix make great lights. The battery is not fenix specific, it's a 18650 (18mm diameter, 650mm tall) and you can find them in vape shops, if you ever need one on the go. It can also be charged by any 18650 charger. They also make battery packs that take 18650 battery, that's what I use for longer trips, then I can swap them and not have anything hanging

Just bought mine. I got some clips. I'm going to try and jerry-rig it to my Apidura Hydration Vest.

Looks like the perfect light for me, love the charging bank ponytail story!

You must have Spartan ancestors. Legend has it that if a Spartan horseman lost his horse in battle he would get back to safety by hanging on to the tail of the horse of one of his colleagues. Not sure if the horses appreciated that. Not even sure this is true, this was shown in my boys' comic when I was about ten. And that useless piece of info has been preferentially retained by my brain for more than five decades so that I can regurgitate it into social media.

Great video incidentally. I have some (now sadly discontinued) Lezyne handlebar mounted lights which take the same single cell battery as your Fenix (a Lithium Ion cell, type 18650 (18mm diameter, 65mm long)). So the Fenix would be a great fit with my existing setup. Thanks.

I use velcro (sorry hook and loop 😂) with that same light and a scott arx helmet and works quite well...

Or zip tie! 3m makes me nervous! Such a fantastic light.
