I purchased these as a package deal to replace an older handlebar light. One of my riding buddies recommended them and I could not be more happy with the purchase. These lights are extremely well made and super bright. Run time is amazing, and the overall weight is not noticeable. I will purchase these again when the time comes.
I have used several lights over the years, from the Cree lights with battery packs, to top shelf Trek bikes lights. None were dedicated helmet mountain bike lights. The Portal helmet light I bought checks all the boxes. Rugged, bright, and long lasting. I foresee I will have this light for years to come.
I also bought a Giro Montaro helmet with an integrated camera mount. Perfect combination.
Wanted the best light without external powerbank with the ability to do so if needed for longer runs.. ended up with a light so good i almost prefer riding when the sun is down, my confidence is somehow better, i see everything and at the same time only what i want to see. Not a big fan of the button on either portal or evo and a remote option would be nice, but only for the convience of not blinding other people, it's not their fault you guys somehow made the sun in pocksize.
Ok so I had a bad start with the light 4 days later I went to charge the light and mount snapped I got mad Sent a mean message customer service however customer service did fix the broken part and even sent me some cool stickers awsome bike light and def plan to buy more lights and recommend 100% if it breaks they fix it and it's American made
My first ride was last week with the both the Evo and Portal! The light pattern was perfect for the single track flowing and technical trail I rode! It was so bright I literally had to video chat a friend to let him see how incredibly bright the lights were!
I no longer care that it gets dark at 5:30pm. These lights are well made and bright AF! Honestly, the bright setting is like high beams on an off-road truck. I had to use the extra helmet mount to move the position to top center to keep the weight from pulling my helmet forward. It would be so cool if there was a head strap so I could use the light around the bar, I mean camp, to chase off the cougars.
Living in the upper Midwest means long ass riding days in the summer. But come fall and winter we live in perpetual darkness. These outbound lights turn that winter darkness into daylight. Allows me to get an after work rip in, beats the hell out of sitting on my couch. Buy them, you won’t regret it. They work insanely well and the quality is top notch. 10/10, would recommend!
Outbound Lighting delivers exactly what every rider needs: brightness, durability, and total confidence on the trail. Their lights are incredibly powerful and illuminate the path far better than anything I’ve used before. The beam pattern is clean and effective, giving you the ability to truly see what’s ahead rather than just lighting up random spots.
The build quality is outstanding—solid, tough, and clearly made to last. Whether you’re ripping through singletrack, braving night rides, or just commuting in low light, these lights perform flawlessly.
Most importantly, Outbound Lighting genuinely makes the riding experience safer, smoother, and more enjoyable. Being able to see the trail clearly transforms night riding from sketchy to amazing.
Highly recommend to anyone serious about riding at night.
Awesome purchase and excited to be able to finally get out at night. Riding the Sourlands in NJ is no joke, and I'm able to see all that I need and finally tackle it after dark. Even as it gets colder, battery life seems to hold up as stated, if not better. Cannot recommend enough. Everyone I've ridden with has been jealous as well!
My family has 4 sets of the Portal/Trail Evo, My boys just competed in the 25 Hours in Frog Hollow on the winning coed team and the lights did fantastic. Both said they felt very comfortable being able to see the whole trail even at high speeds, couldn’t have done it without these lights!
My wife got me the Evo/Hangover combo as a gift a few years ago. It had been about 15yrs since I had last night ridden. My NiteRider Torch gave up the ghost... and as a young growing family, a good replacement light just wasn't a priority. Fast forward to a few years ago and wow has technology improved! I forgot how much I loved riding at night. I look forward to it every fall, winter, and spring now. These lights are amazing and not having to deal with an external battery pack is a game changer. Thank you Outbound 🙂
Night rides were fun before with lights but now with outbound lighting night rides are epic and slightly scary now not only can I see the trial and beyond but I get to see the things that creep in the dark
Dude, daylight savings was really getting me down this year. I work an 8–5 job, so by the time I got home it was too dark to ride. Decided to do some shopping, snagged myself a Hangover light, and what a game changer! I did my first night ride tonight and it was the most fun I’ve had in months. I was pleasantly surprised by how much light the Hangover puts out, and it’s so light weight you barely notice it’s there. The battery lasted my entire ride without a problem, which really sealed the deal for me. Highly recommend this light to anyone looking to keep riding after dark!
I’ve used a handful of other lights and this light is by far my favorite. Really simple to mount and i have had no issues with the light coming off. Plenty of light for NC trails and jump lines at night. Bought 2 of them and worth every penny. Just go ahead and buy the package with the evo to save your self some time.
I got a complaint from an older gentleman that my light was very bright. Almost too bright. It wasn’t even sundown yet. Exactly what I was looking for and I couldn’t be happier.
