Montbell Crushable Lantern Shade

The shade is designed to slip over the front of most standard headlamps. You simply place your headlamp inside the shade, pointing the light toward the internal reflective cone, and secure it using the integrated hanging loop or cinch system.

It is designed to be universal, but it works best with standard-sized headlamps. If your headlamp is exceptionally bulky or has a very large battery pack on the front, it may be a tight fit or difficult to balance.

The shade is intended for ambient, soft lighting rather than focused task lighting. It is perfect for illuminating the inside of a tent or a small area around a camp table, but you will likely want to remove it if you need a concentrated beam for detailed work.

It is made from 30-denier ripstop nylon, which is the same material used in high-quality lightweight tents and stuff sacks. It is surprisingly tough for its 8-gram weight and designed to withstand the rigors of being packed and unpacked repeatedly.

Yes, you can hand wash it with mild soap and water. Because it is made of nylon, it dries very quickly, making it easy to maintain even during longer trips.
