Had to pick between a new helmet light or a fresh set of drysuit seals

The old seals were starting to feel a bit stiff, but my primary light on the Superlite 17B was also getting dim. I went with the seals, figuring I could make the light work for another job. Just finished a three day bridge inspection in the Columbia River and staying dry was definitely the right call. Anyone have a good brand for a bright, budget helmet light they actually trust?

Ugh, that's such a tough call to make. I've totally been there, putting off a gear upgrade because something else is more urgent. Staying dry is non-negotiable, especially for a multi-day job like that. Three days with a leaky seal sounds like a special kind of misery, so you for sure made the right choice. My old backup light is basically a glow worm at this point, so I feel your pain on that front too.

Glow worm backup light" is the perfect way to describe it.
