Fenix HM65R-T V2 headtorch review. If you’ve followed the channel for a while you’ll know that my go to running headtorch is the super bright and bombproof Fenix HM65R-T! I’ve used it for 1000’s of training and race miles, including the very challenging TDS at UTMB and the fantastic Arc of Attrition. The headlamp has just gone through an update and I’ve been testing out the new HM65R-T V2.0 for a couple of months now. In this video I tell you all about the torch's great features, the changes that have been made and how it’s performed out on the trails of Cornwall!
Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

I got the HM65R-DT last Autumn and it brought so much enjoyment to my winter walking/running. A bit scary when all the deer in the field look up at you and you suddenly see all those eyes reflecting back at you in the dark. Thank you for the review 👍

@MattB-tg1ne 2 месяца назад

I was toying over which one of these torches to buy and was hoping you were going to make this exact video! Thanks Loyd!

@michaelhoang5294 2 месяца назад

I bought HM65R based on your recommendation. I love it and use daily.

@runthewagnerway 2 месяца назад

Been waiting for your review on this! Answered all my questions! Thanks!

@paulj6637 2 месяца назад

Can't wait for the Scotland footage! Also may have just seen your name on a list for a race. Can't wait too see that one too! Happy trails

@Manuel-901 2 месяца назад

Good morning. I don't have this equipment for the trail running. Thanks for this information. Like to Run4adventure. Have a great friday.

@ryandifford6832 Месяц назад

Great vid, I've been procrastinating for so long. Finally a review that covers ALL the points a runner needs to consider. Cheers

@trailsandbeers 2 месяца назад

looks good 👍

@mikeshaw714 2 месяца назад

I bought the original one based on your review a couple of years back. Two 35 hour runs, each one through two nights in the lakes and both times I’ve only needed one battery as it’s so bright on the middle flood light setting. Countless hours of night time running in all weathers and I cannot fault this headtorch at all. It’s a must buy for anyone running at night off road.

@gregprevite8548 2 месяца назад

These head torches are it! I have v1 and use it all the time still going strong if I ever replace it it will be with v2.

@Lieburner 2 месяца назад

I have the same torch, it´s awesome; really good stuff Made in Germany.

@scrappedcola 2 месяца назад

I like that charging port over the in battery charging that the UT27 has. I've accidently touched the terminals while charging and yea not recommended. I also love the Nebula color and might have to pick this one up.

@madmickomm1885 2 месяца назад

Great torch. Soft light looks to be a good upgrade. Does it still have the spot / flood light split?

@TwoCombs 2 месяца назад

Some really useful upgrades. I happy with my older version and prefer the older design which is a bit steampunk in looks.

@cpiqueres 2 месяца назад

Great review, as always, thanks. Quick question. I've got the DT version and I find the beam patterns a bit too "spotty" while I understand the first version had a "flood" pattern in the warm light. How do you compare the beam patterns? Thanks !!

@Pablo18358 2 месяца назад

Hey Loyd, hope you’re well. Great timing for this video as I received this (my first Fenix) head torch today. My previous was the silva trail runner (left it in a Bothy a couple of weeks ago) and although I much prefer this new lamp….it does bounce much more than the Silva. Do you have any tricks to reduce this bounce? Crank down on the tightening disc? Grow a bigger head? Maybe the skin on my forehead is baggy? Take care mate and thanks for another great vid.

@Run4Adventure 2 месяца назад

I always wear a buff or headband when use a head torch and I don’t have any bouncing issues Pablo 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏

@expatadventureturkey9324 2 месяца назад

I have the previous version, the question is it worth the upgrade? Thanks in advance also hearing great stuff about the HM62-T for those who need a lighter version and a bit cheaper.

@wk633 2 месяца назад

Only time I use full bright on my HM65R-DT is when a car high beams me and I want to return fire. The one additional feature I'd like is an easier way to open the battery compartment. I find it a struggle sometimes if my fingers are cold.

@FenixlightUK 19 дней назад

Hey! Just thought we'd dive in a help out - when the battery cap gets stiff, it might need a bit of lubricant on the rubber O-ring which keeps the water out - use a silicon based lubricant (no petroleum or organic based as it can damage the O-ring). A few drops of that on the O-ring and it makes it so much easier to undo! Easy other help, just reach out to us!

@wesjones1346 2 месяца назад

Great review. I may have missed it but how much for a spare battery?

@Run4Adventure 2 месяца назад

Around £21 👍

@pawebaluta896 2 месяца назад

But.. you still can't turn on both modes "cool" and "warm" at once? No "hybrid" light available?

@notmedude 2 месяца назад

To be honest I would love to see some padding under the torch and maybe remove the spotlight completely to shave off a few grams on this chunky boy. I don't use the spotlight at all on my 64RT.

@mikelarry88888 Месяц назад

Hi there, how long does turbo mode last before it steps down?please. This is one of my main concerns when it comes to new torches or headlamps, as some products step down anywhere from 30 seconds to about 10 minutes.

@benmoulam6889 25 дней назад

looking at the chart on fenix website - almost immediately. After 15minutes. the 1600lm setting steps down to ~35% or 560lm where it stays for 3hrs. 800 > ~360lm & 400 > ~160lm. Haven't tested in real-life. This rarely gets mentioned in reviews

@allanryder679 15 дней назад

I've watch alot of vids on the Fenix but nobody tells you where to plug the other end to charge it,does it go into the phone charger computer etc.

@Run4Adventure 15 дней назад

You can plug it into any USB Allan? Power pack, computer, USB socket, USB adapter, anything with a USB socket 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏

@richarddelarosa Месяц назад

can i use both leds at the same time as the original version?

@Run4Adventure Месяц назад

Now that Fenix have added the two different coloured led bulbs you can’t run them together unfortunately 👍

@darrenwoolnough4121 16 дней назад

Is there a rear light accessory for this mode???

@Run4Adventure 16 дней назад

There’s not a rear light accessory unfortunately, I just clip a small flashing red LED light to the headband 👍

@darrenwoolnough4121 16 дней назад

@@Run4Adventure awesome thanks; any recommendations or just a clip on bike light etc?

@heymrguitarman7637 2 месяца назад

I have and love the V1 but its biggest flaw is that it's so uncomfortable as it's front heavy meaning you have to toghten so kuch and then the plate digs in. I know Fenix are aware of this but appear to have ignored it in the v2. Massive fail, but overall im sure in all other departments its brilliant

@Run4Adventure 2 месяца назад

I always wear a buff or a headband when use a head torch and i’ve had no issues with comfort at all. I’ve run through long night time sections in races and found it super comfortable 👍
