Petzl Tactikka Plus Headlamp

5 Star Rating

By far the best bang for your buck

By Backcountry.com Employee June 5, 2007

This headlamp is perfect if you don't need the brightest one in the world. For camping/hiking/climbing its perfect. While it may not be the brightest headlamp out there I find it more than adequate for all my needs. The red lens flips up very easily and is an option that I feel all headlamps should be required to have. You just don't need the regular light option in most situations and it is very annoying when someone blinds me with their white light while I'm trying to maintain my night vision. The battery pack issue others complain about is not an issue if you put the batteries in correctly. They aren't the easiest to put in but you just have to make sure everything is clipped in and your batteries will not fall out. It might take you a minute or so to put them in correctly, a very small price to pay considering the great functionality of this headlamp.
