I think most wear it around their neck out of fear of looking like an over-zealous newbie... to show how seldom they actually need it. Who knows, but for me, a light dangling on my neck is a flat out nuisance.

If you have bifocals it works a lot better.
It won't fall off.
I get less light in my eyes with it around my neck.

I used to use rechargeable batteries - I would always have a light fail during the cold nights of fall.
I use an LED light now and alkalines - never have had one fail - but I still carry two. It's dark about twice as long in the late fall as it is the summer.
