Replacement Strap for Black Diamond Spot Headlamp
Posted: Sat Sep 04, 2021 9:58 am
Does anyone know of a replacement, preferably improved, strap for a Black Diamond Spot? The strap that came with it is a piece of crap. I have an average size head (7 1/4 hat) and I have never been able to make it fit. I have the adjusters set a short as possible and the damn thing still fits loose. I have no idea what idiot designed the strap, but they obviously gave no thought to the fabric stretching and having a way to compensate adequately.
I have managed to "re-engineer" it so it's snug, but there's got to be a better strap out there.
I've only used this thing around the house a few times, so it really has not had a chance to stretch out. I emailed Black Diamond but have had no response, and I cannot seem to find a replacement strap on their website. Not that I really want to buy the same piece of junk again. I like the Spot headlamp, but the crappy headstrap is a total loser.
Anyone know of a better headstrap for my B-D Spot?
