Review:
This is a great all-rounder that is a perfect headlamp for hiking and camping, incl. long multi day hikes. It seems quite flimsy at first because the casing is of really light and fairly think plastic - I guess time will tell whether that’s an issue in terms of durability or not. But so far it has not disappointed on any of my recent trips. The main reasons I like this lamp are: it is really lights, packs away very small, is simple and comfortable to wear, has good brightness, has a red light option and most of all - it has a hybrid battery system. It comes with a little rechargeable Petzl specific battery, which can be connected to USB to recharge. If that battery runs out (ie. on a one week trip), you can bring some spare AAA batteries and put those in instead.
Pros:
- Hybrid Battery option (USB Rechargable and/or AAA)
- Red Light option
- Small and light
Cons:
- Casing seems a bit flimsy/thin
Comment:
Good headlamp that really meets the requirements for most outdoor enthusiasts.
