"Saved my life!"

Rating:*****
Ok so this thing is great! I love my head lamp, not for the simple fact that having yours hands free and still being able to see is great but this little sucker saved my life! Caught in the middle of a huge ice storm around dusk with literally trees falling all around us(it knocked power out for a third the state for over a week) my friend and I abandoned camp and hiked out by way of these little beauties. It was a good thing we did because when we returned a few weeks later out camp site had been destroyed by falling trees. A true lifesaver!!!!!

"Couldnt ask for a better headlamp."

Rating:*****
This light has always done me proud. When camping with others they always want to borrow it when there headlamp doesn't compare. The flashing features is great to save battery power. The strap is comfortable and easily adjustable. And overall the headlamp isn't heavy and it doesn't go through batteries like mad.

"Good light baby"

Rating:*****
I've had my Tikka for six years now and it hasn't let me down yet. I've been rock climbing, camping, mountain biking, kayaking and hiking with the same light and never had a problem.

"Lightweight and bright!"

I love this headlamp. It is lightweight and the headstrap is extremely comfortable. Its very bright and will light up the darkest nights when you are out and about. Worth every penny!

"Good headlamp, nicely constructed."

Rating:****
Good overall quality that you'd expect from Petzl. Bright, easy to use and doesn't weigh a lot. Comfortable to the point you forget it's there. Nice inexpensive light for recreational use.

"show me the light"

Rating:****
Did the job and very powerful light. Some folks had the red light to wade off mosquitos. Wish this had that. Otherwise, great for getting around in the dark...hands free.

I like the built quality of this headlamp, waterproof works perfect for hiking on rainy days. It has only one lighting settings though.
