Petzl Zipka @ $31.20

“If you're looking for this $45 headlamp, you can find it on sale here at Botach Tactical”

“I gotta admit, I dig gadgets but the zipka's headband looks like I'd snap it first time out of the box.”

“Also at Botach Tactical:

Tikka on sale $25.60

Photon II Micro-Light on sale $9.95

There's a bunch of other LED lights on sale, too. If anyone's interested, I can forward the html format e-mail I received with links.”

“I just picked up this light the day I left for my family camp trip. I love the small size and the quality of the light. I was worried about the strap... thread, but it worked out fine. I think it will last quite awhile. I like the fact that it can be used many ways depending on what it is mounted on, helmets, handle bars, poles etc.”

“It looks neat and all but that is one of the things I 'm worried about. That retractable strap. I have yet to hold one but I would fear the the strap would either break or the retracting spring coil would loose tension and nolonger work properly.

Gotta get me one of those LED lights they look so NICE.”

“I agree with ya'll about yer concerns! I be thinkin' the same thing too!”

“I havent had a excuse to use a head lamp yet..I have one of those photon lights on a cord that I hang around my neck.
so far that has worked real good for just around the camp. And I dont blind the person im looking at either..lol”

“I bought one of the Tikkas and it rocks. Unfortunately I bought it before Obi Wan's post. Thanks anyway Obi.”

“Must have gone off sale... BumMaH!”

“Same for the Tikka, Freedom. Gotta get those web deals while they're hot. The Photon Micro-Light II is still on sale and has been for awhile now.”

“That's what I get for going backpacking for a week, and then off to the coast for some beach fun. Would I trade it??? Nah!”

“i found the petzl zipka at www.backcountrystore.com for $35. they offered free shipping for orders over $50, so i ordered two: i'll give one as a gift.

note: i have no connection with the backcountry store. they do sound like nice folks on the phone, tho'.”

“A gift for lil'ole me?

Thanks Mr.docflash!”
