HM23: Featherweight Headlamp with Big Attitude

Meet the ultra-light champ of night runs and backcountry strolls. The HM23 is incredibly lightweight and compact—1.52 ounces—so it sits on your head like a whisper, until you actually need it to light the trail. Powered by a single AA battery and with an all-in-one, single-switch activation, it’s the kind of gear you forget you’re wearing—until you don’t want to trip over your own shadow. Note: this item has been replaced by HM23 V2, but its proven reliability still earns a nod on Life, Adventure-Ready missions. AXG Life approves.

Performance / Benefits

This compact powerhouse lights the way without weighing you down, so you can focus on the moment rather than your gear. A single AA battery keeps the juice flowing through long night miles, dawn hikes, or sudden weather surprises. The adjustable beam lets you sweep the trail or zero in on a map, depending on the moment, while the 0–180° range makes it versatile for caving, scrambling, or campsite setup when darkness insists on drama. With IP68 waterproofing, it shrugs off rain and mud—and your questionable decisions deserve a light that keeps up. On AXG’s Life, Adventure-Ready schedule, this headlamp turns late starts and midnight misadventures into stories you’ll actually tell again—and again.
