Petzl Tikka XP Headlamp
why would anyone want this unless they are being dropped into a cave for search and rescue?

This lamp is serious overkill. Most hiker will use their headlamp briefly to read or write in their tent. maybe for a couple minutes to find a solid tree in the middle of the night when nature calls. This thing is just to bulky on ones head - you're going to feel like a coal miner trust me. Two words Petzl e+lite. weighs less than an oz you can get extra batteries on ebay for almost nothing and it's really all the light most hikers will ever need. take the elite an extra set of the weightless batteries it requires plus a backup squeeze led for an emergency and you'll be much happier. then again if you're hauling 50lbs of gear anyway ignore this bums advice since you'll need the tikka xp when you are doing the dishes in the kitchen sink you undoubtedly brought along. E+lite look it up!
