Want one bad

By Backcountry.com Employee August 21, 2006

I just returned from a High Uintas backpack trip and I saw this headlamp in action. My brother had borrowed it for the trip. I have the tikka plus. Both were equally bright but then came the flip up red lens. It was the first time I had used red light. It was so nice to have him look at me and not be blinded by his headlamp. It kind of made me feel rude that I was blinding people on a regular basis. I will be making a purchase of this light or the tikka XP or both. I wish they made a headlamp that did everything. Right now I just grab the one that seems to meet the needs of that particular trip best. Another great lighting product from petzl.
