It's really not that difficult to snake the cable under your shirt and
down to your belt, I wear a light with a battery belt pack all the
time because I have to, I can't wear all that weight on my head--too
hard on the neck.

I don't think cavers will want to wear the battery pack on their
belt, too much trouble with the cabling getting in the way. I have
the Fenix HP10 and I don't think its any heavier than other lights,
at least I didn't notice it. My helmet already has 2 backup lights,
and a camera bracket on it, so its already heavier than most I think.
Neither of the Fenix headlight models have a built in diffuser, and
I think that's where they are lacking. I like the light pattern on
mine, the diffuser addon just rounded it out for when I need one.

I know a lot of cavers like products by Fenix.
They have a new headlamp. Cost is around $ 103 plus shipping.

It looks like a good product. I don't like the light pattern as
they
show it on their web-site.
Since the battery pack holds 4 AA batteries, and can be belt
mounted, this
lamp is more suited for big stream passage.
If I am going to spend $ 110 or so on a headlamp, it needs to be
better.
This lamp can be pre-ordered, and will start shipping in 3 days.
