Outbound Lighting Portal Helmet Light
Named after the Portal trail in Moab, this helmet light by Outbound is designed for those that wanted a little more output and runtime than the proven Hangover light.
The Portal has an amazingly smooth beam pattern designed to slot between the insane width of Trail Evo, but a wider beam than the beloved Hangover.
Bigger Battery
In order to hit the same runtime as Trail Evo, and have higher peak brightness than Hangover, Outbound shoved a 5,000 mAH genuine Samsung 50E 21700 battery cell and wrapped the light around it.
This results in 43% more capacity over our Hangover light, meaning far longer runtimes (up to 2.5 hours on adaptive, a 50% increase over Hangover).
Even brighter!
While more lumens isn't always the answer, Outbound added in some more brightness and increased the beam pattern width over Hangover to provide even more punch down the trail.
New finely tuned optics with 30% larger TIR cones means higher optical efficiency and more peripheral light to help spot the spooky stuff.
Simple User Interface
Few people read instruction manuals, even fewer want to, so Outbound keeps their lights dead simple so that you don’t need an advanced degree to remember some complicated button presses to get to the mode you want.
Portal’s soft-touch overmolded top shell has a single, large button right in the middle that’s easy to feel through a thick winter glove in the dark, so you don’t have to hunt blindly around on top of your head just to turn it on.
