Yup, the EOS Bike is certainly one of the most versatile bike lights on the market with its included helmet, handlebar, and headlamp mounts.
But with is long throw beam, compact size, and now 70 lumens of output, we often see folks getting creative with how and where they put their Eos Bike.


Check out this cool headtube setup:

Yes, it sounds impossible, but each year an elite group of cyclists (solo, 2 person, 4 person, 8 person teams) participating in the Race Across America punish their bodies to tackle this feat. In addition to the physical, mental, and financial burden this race entails, many individuals go above and beyond by using the race as a platform to raise money for charity. This year the international team, Convicts of the Road, will be competing as an 8 person team in RAAM and also raising money for 4 worthwhile charities. Princeton Tec is proud to be their light source of choice as they turn pedal stroke after pedal stroke throughout each night on their journey across the US. So check out their site - site -, wish them well, and if you feel so inclined, contribute to their designated charities to help those in need.

This past weekend the 17^th annual Ice Fest went down in North Conway NH. While P-Tec headquarters was getting nailed with nearly 2 feet of snow in NJ the White Mountains of NH remained in a dry spell, but the skies were clear and views fantastic. Each morning climbers gathered at IME in town to check out and demo gear before heading out for a day on the ice. Boots, packs, ice tools, clothing, and headlamps were all up for a demo day/evening on the ice. After a few hours in the brisk temperatures climbers returned to IME for afternoon refreshments, Tuckermans Ale on tap, and a chance to chat about the latest gear. Luckily I was safe behind a table of headlamps as tired climbers juggled cold beer and sharp ice tools. 

Across Patagonia’s infamously harsh terrain of Tierra del Fuego, adventure racing teams from 20 nations will be racing 600 km through the Darwin Range and the frigid waters of the Beagle Channel, in hopes of completing the non-stop expedition in seven to nine days.

We’re stoked to help support the Canadian racing team ‘Untamed New England,’ also known in the adventure racing world as ‘Running Free.’

Among the Canadians, teams from the USA - including our friends at GearJunkie, Canada, Germany, Denmark, South Africa, Spain, France, Brazil, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Great Britain, Czech Republic, Turkey, Mexico, Columbia, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile, as well as the recent winners of the Adventure Racing World Championship and last year’s defending champs.

You can follow Untamed New England HERE or HERE. To read more about the race visit the Patagonian Expedition Race site.

On Tuesday, January 12, 2010, a catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti leaving 3 million people affected by the quake and 2 million people homeless without clean water, food and medical supplies. As of January 27th, 170,000 people have been confirmed dead and it’s estimated that the number will reach 200,000.

With very few operational hospitals, many who desperately need medical attention will not receive care due to the shortage of equipment and fuel. So, aiding medical workers with the equipment they need will be key to saving more lives.

Recently, OIA called on the industry (Outdoor Industry Association) to support AmeriCares, a disaster relief organization that has delivered over $11 million worth of medical relief to Haiti.

AmeriCares specified a need for headlamps  - among many other medical supplies  - for their relief efforts in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake. Doctors are working around the clock performing surgeries and attending to patients without electricity and need headlamps to care for patients throughout the night.

In an effort to provide relief in the best way we know possible, we have donated more than 250 headlamps through AmeriCares to assist on-the-ground medical teams in Haiti.

“After hearing about the unfortunate situation in Haiti, your first reaction is always what can I do to help? Fortunately, Princeton Tec and other companies in the outdoor industry are perfectly suited for helping in disaster relief situations,” says Justin Kline, Princeton Tec’s bike division manager.  “While headlamps are only a small part of the equation, we hope the headlamps donated will help locate missing people and allow doctors to perform surgeries and provide care.”

Other outdoor industry companies providing aid include, but are not limited to Buff, Klean Kanteen, Polartec, Pelican, Mountain Hardware and I/O Bio Merino.

At Outdoor Retailer last week, we had the privilege of meeting Lei Wang, who is one summit away from accomplishing her dream of becoming the first Chinese woman, the first Asian-American woman and the 10th person to summit the Seven Summits and ski the Two Poles.

With the world’s tallest mountain standing in between Lei and her dream, she plans to begin her ascent of Mount Everest this coming March in hopes of accomplishing her goal.

As it turns out, climbing the Seven Summits isn’t only physically challenging, but financially challenging as well. The Outpost blog reports the full Seven Summits tour is estimated to cost about $119,720 - $183,870.

So after hearing her story, we partnered with Lei and outfitted her with an Apex Pro and Quad as a lightweight option to help her reach the roof of the world.

We wish her the best of luck and will post updates of her progress.

While much of the East Coast was slammed with rain earlier this week it is winter as usual up in Alaska. Our buddy Pete Basinger spent 3 days of riding mostly in the dark, with an Apex and some occasional rays of sun illuminating the beautiful scenery. Don’t stop and stare too long though….. With the low temperature approaching -50 you need to keep the body working.

It’s not that often we toot our own horn, but when we heard Backpacker Magazine, the winner of three National Magazine Awards, bestowed the Remix with “Best All-Around” headlamp award, we decided it was grounds to boast.

The review claimed the Remix passed every test they threw at it and commented on its excellent battery life as well as the four light options to help you penetrate up to 170 of darkness or ‘read the pages of the latest Tom Clancy.’ Not to mention, one tester remarked that the Remix is ‘drop-off-a-cliff strong.’

So ya, I guess you could call us proud parents.
