Petzl Zipka Plus with 4-LED Headlamp, Black and Yellow #E48PBY
Manufacturer Description The Petzl Zipka Plus is an upgraded version of the top-selling Zipka with these additional features: 4 LED's instead of 3, a push on/off button instead of a slider switch, and 3 brightness settings with strobe function. The Zipka's immense popularity is due to its immense functionality. From housewife to hardcore mountaineer, it seems as though everybody finds the Zipka the handiest of tools. At 2 ounces, there's no excuse for venturing into the backcountry without one of these in your pack. Four LED bulbs powered by 3 AAA batteries (included) cast bright white light over relatively short distances (30ft or 10m), making the Zipka Plus perfect for trail hiking, setting up camp, and reading. The Zipka Plus is the same headlamp as the Tikka Plus, except that a retractable wire strap system replaces the elastic headband, making it even more compact and lightweight than the Tikka Plus. It also lacks the tiltable housing of the Tikka Plus. Attach this headlamp to your wrist, tent pole or dog's collar - and you're good to go! Reader Reviews I bought three of these with the intention of giving them out as presents. I ended up keeping one and giving away the other two. It's the handiest little tool I own! I have used it while grilling outdoors at night, for extra light to help reorganize the wiring behind my entertainment center, for sweating fittings onto my water heater in the attic, you name it. You just can't beat the compact design. The tension on the retractable headband is just right - tight enough to keep it on even when active, but not so tight that it hurts even when wearing it for long periods of time. The size and weight is so minimal when retracted that you can just put it in your pocket and forget it's there. Sure, people will make fun of you when you wear it, but you'll have both hands free to attend to your task. This light makes a great gift, because most people don't realize they need this until they use it. However, if you do buy one as a gift, get two. Trust me, you'll use it.
