Whether it’s work, camping, fishing, shooting, hunting, or just getting chores done around the house, nothing can come in handy quite as well as a good headlamp. Streamlight, which most people often associate with weaponlights, has announced the release of their new SL-SideSaddle headlamp. What makes this headlamp unique is that it’s designed from the ground up to work with your existing headwear, whether that be a hard hat, bump helmet, or just a regular baseball hat.
