Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:

I absolutely LOVE this headlamp. I have another Petzl (Tikka Plus) and love it, but as camping and caving season is fast approaching, I wanted another one for friends/family members - plus, you can never have too many headlamps.

I keep my headlamps in my hiking packs, but I have found this one wandering the house more and more as I find more uses for it.

It's great for fixing plumbing, getting ticks out of animals, reading at night, checking for perps in the yard, bringing out the trash, looking for that lost {...} in your car, rummaging through your purse for your lipgloss, plugging in cables behind the TV....you name it, you can use the headlamp.

It's also great for keeping in your backpack - I usually do day hikes on the weekends that could go beyond dusk, and it's always nice to have a headlamp that you know will work every time. I can usually get on average, about 80 hours before I need to change the batteries.

The ONLY negative is that it is not waterproof. Living in Oregon, it's very difficult having things live long that aren't at least water resistant. I've already lost one Petzl headlamp to a hike in the Columbia River gorge. I put it in an outer pocket of my pack without a rain cover over it on a day when it was very moist - it was raining/misting all day. The headlamp had obvious signs of moisture inside and wouldn't turn on. I have found that the Petzl Tikka pouches really help - I've done the same thing with a headlamp in a pouch and it stayed dry.

I've had my old Tikka headlamp for 2 years and use it on a daily basis and it is an excellent and helpful tool.

Overall, a great product and well worth the price.

Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:

Overall great headlamp. Comfortable. Durable. Lightweight. I like the diffuser that comes with this light ~ quick and effective to use. My sole complaint is the red lens is too dim for comfortably trekking accross rugged terrain at speed (3-4 mph).

Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:

I am very happy with the Tikka, but, at first, I was not. When I first got it, the non- rechargeable batties dropped off in just half an hour. I love watching wildlife. There I need a headlight type beam.
When I bought the rechargeable and programable battery pack, I programed it to remain at highbeam at all times. This gave me 4 1/2 hours of a headlight type beam, making it possible to see wildlife before they sensed me and took off. So, it drops off after just 4 1/2. Whats the grip, just recharge it. On a long outting you will have to take along spare battries.
I recomment Lithium because of the long shelf live, and if they should get dropped in the woods, Lithium does the least damage to the environment of all the battry types.
Contrary, to what others have written, I do not find the slight extra weight or size a problems.
There are, after all,aways trade offs.

Great Trail Running/Everything Headlamp

Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:

I got this headlamp for trail running but have found I use it almost every day for something. If I'm not running in it, I'm milking the goats, or working on my truck, or watering the veggies, or a hundred other things. I use it so often, in so many places, for so many things, I would buy a dozen of them if I could afford it and save myself that ten minutes I spend every day looking for it.

This is a fantastic trail running headlamp for the price. The concentrated beam is very bright, which is important on the root-covered trails here on the Oregon Coast. The flashing and red beam features also add safety to late night road runs. It's easy to adjust the direction of the beam up and down during a run to cast light nearer or further from your feet. It is comfortable and secure even on rough, technical runs.

The only negative thing I can say is that, while the battery lasts forever, the ultra-bright, trail running quality of light does wear off after a few long runs. No biggie.

Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:

Love the options of close, wide angle vs. long strong beam. Recently was on a hike when the guide asked for someone to offer a headlamp to strap underneath a water bottle to form a lantern for the group. All were amazed at how powerful this light was.

I hike the CA High Sierras and local Texas parks, including Big Bend, where I'm headed this weekend, and I highly recommend this headlamp.

Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:

Excellent headlight, best I've had. On high, the spot is focused, even and very bright. I only use it on high when the trail gets technical or for night trail runs. Put up the diffuser and it's perfect for cooking and camp chores after dark. The low beam is good for hiking or for reading as the bright is way too bright. The red light is great when you need something at night in the tent but don't want to disrupt other sleepers. I really appreciate it for pre-dawn camera setup when night vison is critical.
I also use this light as my backup for night bike rides as it's plenty to get you out of the woods if your primary light goes down.

Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:

This has been my favorite headlamp to date. So far I haven't been able to find one that satisfies my needs more than this. I'm very critical with how products (especially headlamps) are designed and how companies thought out the navigation through the beam settings. I think so many headlamps are poorly thought out considering this is such an important tool in your pack, as well as one you use so frequently.

The lamp has two bulbs, one bright white LED and one dimmer red one. I actually find myself using the red light more than the white, with increased battery time and not as blinding to the night vision.

The button is easy to reach and always feels like its int he right place. I really like that the settings are saved for whatever color led you're on.
