First impression - Black Diamond Storm375 Headlamp

I would rather write a review after I’ve had a chance to use actually use the headlamp, but my first impression is positive.
However, everything I read about it not being user friendly is true. I can turn it on out of the box and find the different colors. That’s all. I cannot figure out how to get the distance beam and other features to work and it did not come with these instructions. I am going to have to go to Blackdiamond’s website to get this figured out.
It also is a bit heavy, as was described by others.

My daughter has a Coast headlamp. It is light and easy to use. She also uses her phone for her camera and gets great pictures while I use a full-size rugged camera. The point is, I wanted the extra dust and water protection that hers does not provide, and I don’t think I am going to mind the extra weight or bulkiness.

This is my first headlamp and was afraid of attracting nighttime bugs. After trying to walk with a lamb under each arm and a light between my knees, I decided to take her suggestion and try a headlamp. I have worn it once and it was awesome to have my hands free and too cold out for any nighttime bugs. Once I figure out how the distance beam and how the different colors work I think I’m really going to like it. If the bugs come after me it will be no worse than having a flashlight in my hand. I will just take it off my head and use it in my hand. She has had no problem with bugs and I have read that the red light will not attract them.

In a dark room I could tell no difference in the green light and the blue light. And you can see no difference turning them on in the daylight. I’m confident that the Blackdiamondks website or their customer service will be able to answer all my questions and get me going, but adequate directions do not come with it.
