Enhanced waterproof design and utility strap make this lamp an ideal choice almost anywhere.
Lighter and more compact than the featherweight Tikka headlamp, the Zipka Plus features a retractable strap that can be attached to your head, arm, legs, pack, pole or whatever works to help you find your way or do your work in the dark. The Zipka Plus features a rubber toggle switch that alternates between four light settings: High, Medium, Economy and Intermittent. The four LED lamps consume roughly one-tenth of the power used by a standard flashlight bulb and offer a lifetime of over 100,000 hours. Even fully loaded with the included trio of AAA batteries, the Zipka Plus barely nudges the scales at 2.2 ounces, so it's ideal as an emergency essential even in the lightest of minimalist packs.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Petzl Zipka Plus Headlamp w/ retractable strap is available through Altrec.com.

Awesome
This headlamp is awesome. It's compact size and brightness make it ideal to stick in your tackle box, pocket, or glove box. It made fantastic groomsmen gifts.

GREAT LITTLE LIGHT
I WAS LOOKING FOR A LIGHT TO CLIP ONTO MY BACKPACK STRAP, AND THIS ONE DOES THE TRICK. EASILY REMOVABLE IF I WANT A HANDS FREE LIGHT ON MY WRIST.

Lightweight, functional, practical, NECESSARY!
I'm not an athlete or adventurer, just blind as a bat. This light is great, goes in my purse or pocket. Have used it to fix my car at night, while walking in the evening, at a night festival, while traveling, while reading a book at night next to my sleeping husband! It's indispensable! We own a couple Tikkas, too, but this one is my absolute favorite because it can go with me anywhere! Will also give as gifts!

bright, light, and comfortable
This is deffinately the best headlamp I'll ever own. You can barely feel it, and it is very bright. It basically weighs as much as 3 AAA batteries, and can fit into a pocket with ease. Its waterproof, and it'll basically last forever. Great for the price!!
