Petzl DUO LED 5 Headlamp
I've had this headlamp forever, back when it just came out...

I've had this headlamp forever, back when it just came out and didn't even have the upgrade LED's, but I upgraded to the five when they did come out. My issue is this: The elastic bands are so worked and stretched that I can't even tighten it to my dome enough for hard use, just light hiking or else it flies off. If I send it to Petzl, will they charge me a grip to replace the webbing? And shipping is always an issue, as well. If so, I'll probably just bite the bullet and buy a new one. Just curious, never dealt with Petzl's custy service......

Petzl sells replacement elastic kits for most of their lights. I don't know whether backcountry.com has them, but I by mine at karstsports.com for around $11.

Or just grab some one inch flat webbing and a triglide and make a simple headlamp strap for $2.00.
