Bought my Knog in September 2023 and wore it pretty much every day on the Te Araroa trail in NZ. Comfy, rechargeable, effective. Lost it walking home from work! Now replaced.

Awesome headlamps

These are great headlamps with awesome battery life. Two features I really appreciate - the reading light and the red light. They are used much more than you’d think.

Not working

Unfortunately not working at all, have tried the reset button. It has charged for 48hrs and all I get is a tiny charging light that is short lived.
Have watched numerous YouTube videos on how to work it but still not working.
Unfortunately threw out the receipt.
Have emailed and haven't heard back.
Have never given a bad review but that's what I've experienced sorry.

Repeat, repeat, repeat purchaser

I was another purchaser from Kickstarter. The concept struck me as superb and the delivery did not detract from this impression in any way. As testament to the impressiveness of this product I have continued to be a repeat purchaser. Two as part of the Kickstarter campaign, one each for my son and son-in-law (the runner of the family) and I have just ordered one for the toolbox. The ease of use, versatility, compact and unobtrusive construction, freedom from charging cords and good battery life all contribute to the value. Unfortunately, I misplaced one of the original Kickstarter units (that I replaced with a Knog Bilby), but the other one that lives in our camper continues to give good service. Well done Knog!

'possibly the world's most comfortable & practical all-purpose headlamp.'

‘every travellers backpack, and everyone’s emergency kit, ought to have one of these.’

Why you'll love using Bandicoot 250.

The brilliant all-rounder in our headlamp range.

Multiple LED Options

Optimally placed LEDs for their individual purpose – a high beam to see by, elliptical beams for broad ambient light, a red light for night/ low light and down lights for reading.

Integrated USB Connector

No cables to lose or break. To recharge the headlamp, simply plug the pod into a USB-A port, and you’ll have a full charge in just 4 hours from flat.

Remarkably Comfortable Fit

The moulded silicone strap sits flush against your head, and is perfectly balanced to ensure an amazingly comfortable fit.

Matte Silicone Finish

The strap is moulded in matte silicone that's tough, durable and easy to clean. It fits head circumferences between 12 - 27 in, and getting the perfect fit is easy using the adjustable toggle.
