Full Size Headlamp

Written on May 05, 2016

Purchased this for a mountaineering trip because the gear list was specific about bringing a headlamp that uses AA batteries (AAA batteries apparently drain faster).

The headlamp is considerably heavier than my Petzl Tikka but it definitely feels more solid. I like how the lamp turns in on itself to prevent it from turning on in your pack. The three beams it throws are all pretty bright and had me missing a red light in camp.

All in all, I hardly used this on the trip because I was already sleeping by the time it got dark. Not a bad piece of gear though. It's gotten some use around the house. It has some nice bells and whistles but it does come with extra weight.

Light weight and rugged

I purchased these for a Mt. Whitney climb but have been breaking them in on the local trails. They performed well on a 5 mile hike in a light snow & ice mix and were light & comfortable enough to keep on my feet for a weekend at camp. They are a little stiff compared to what I'm used to but they are mountaineering boots.
