Needs better battery and fit
The brightness is okay, but the battery life on high really disappointed me; it dies quicker than advertised. Also, the band feels a bit flimsy and slips easily during more vigorous movements.
Designed with runners in mind, Dash 450 delivers a perfect no-bounce fit with high performance illumination. The updated lens design improves optics for a focused, bright beam to light the path ahead. A rear red light and reflective band printing provide runner visibility from all directions for added safety. Award-winning 3D Slimfit construction and a front measuring only 10mm thick makes this running headlamp so comfortable you forget you’re wearing it.

The brightness is okay, but the battery life on high really disappointed me; it dies quicker than advertised. Also, the band feels a bit flimsy and slips easily during more vigorous movements.
Quick 2.5 hour charge time is great; the light is powerful, though the band sometimes needs readjusting.
The front light is quite powerful, and the rear red light is a great safety feature for city running. My only minor complaint is that the band felt a little tight initially, but it's stretched slightly with use.
This headlamp is very bright and feels great, though the battery life on high could be better.
Offers excellent brightness, but charging takes a bit longer than I'd prefer.
