I use the Niteriders because that's what I started with and because they are waterproof. I will say that riding in snow is the one place where using a helmet light is bad. You get too much reflection from the snow to see where you are going. Fog does the same thing but I don't often get to ride in fog. When I do it's really kinda cool
