Petzl Myo 5 Headlamp

so comfortable

By Ranked #457 - Headlamps October 26, 2004

I needed a head lamp for evening trail runs. I have a Zipka (3 LED model) which is an extremely handy, lightweight item to have. But the Zipka just doesn't put out enough light for many situations. I bought the Myo 5 and was surprised how comfortable it is worn directly on your head (I've only had lights mounted on helmets). I can run in it and it's totally stable, light and comfortable. I can easily switch from the halogen spot to the LED, battery-saving mode. Love it.
