Petzl Zipka Plus 2 Headlamp

Petzl Zipka Plus 2 Headlamp

Offering even more versatility than the Zipka 2 head lamp model, the Petzl Zipka Plus 2 has been completely reengineered for this season. 25% more compact than the Tikka Plus 2 headlamp, the Zipka Plus 2 has an adjustable, retractable cord that allows for the perfect fit and unbeatable packability. Built with 1 high output white LED and 1 red LED, the Zipka Plus 2 switches between maximum, economic, and flashing modes with just the click of a simple electronic push-button switch. With a longer light range than the Zipka 2, the Zipka Plus 2 delivers a maximum beam distance of 35 meters and has a maximum burn time of 140 hours. Switch from the white to red LED for improved night vision or for extra visibility and safety in urban environments when riding your bike home late from work. With a redesigned hinged battery compartment that opens wide, there is no more fumbling to close your headlamp like on older models. Equipped with battery life indicator, you will know when it is time to put in new set and the Zipka Plus 2 is compatible with lithium batteries. If you are looking for a super small, lightweight, compact, energy efficient headlamp that doesn't compromise visibility and shines bright, the Petzl Zipka Plus 2 will deliver. Other LED headlamps you might be interested in are the Petzl Tikka Plus 2, the Petzl Zipka 2, Petzl Tikkina 2 and the Petzl Myo XP.

Excellent battery life and ultralight
This headlamp has held up for a good 60 miles of backpacking so far this year. Battery life is excellent and retractable wire makes it clutter free. One of the best headlamps out there.

Excellent for me
The older I get, the more I understand the mindset of the ultralight campers. The less weight I carry, the less weight I carry! To that end, this is about as light a light as I could find that still used AAA batteries. There are lighter and smaller headlamps, but on such a critical item, I wanted to have the candlepower to reach out and even run with as well as the battery life to last 3-7 nights. This headlamp does the trick with enough modes that are intuitively accessed. As much of a gear hound as I am, I won't be looking to pass this down to one of my kids so I can get a new gadget.

Best Headlamp!
I bought this headlamp with little expectation, but it turned out to be one of the most useful lights I have. Great for when you need to be hands free.
