      Comments about Petzl Tactikka Plus Headlamp:

      The only drawback is that this headlamp takes 3 AAAs, but while long-distance hiking you can only buy batteries in 4-packs. That means you always have 1 wasted battery. With some other models, you can split a 4-pack with a friend. The other models however, develop some problems over time.

      This isn't exactly waterproof, but it's a lot closer than most of the competitors. The only waterproof headlamp I've seen is a lot heavier.

      The flip-down red filter is surprisingly unique in the headlamp market. Most have a separate red bulb which works fine, but you ruin your night vision and wake up all the other hikers when you cycle through the white modes to reach the red.

        Purchased for night obstacle course mud run. Light weight and comfortable held up after being submerged several feet, stayed on during tower jumps into ponds. Great for night runs, adjustable beam angle and nv cover is nice feature. Also wearing as a back up light on bike rides at night. Quality product.

          Only one set of white LEDs and a red filter. This means you don't have to switch through several light options with your eyes closed to get to night vision-preserving red. You don't have to have bright, white light unless you want it.

                  This light is very easy to use and provides excellent light. The flip up red filter is great for night vistion and keeping bugs away at night. This is my second Petzl and I have been very happy with them both.

                    I love this thing. I bought this headlamp for camping and travel. I took it out on a recent trip to the Sequoias and I had it on all the time. It kept my hands free and it preformed brilliantly even on the darkest of nights. Highly recommended!!
