Petzl Zipka 2 Headlamp

Item #: 73082

Our Price: $26.98

Storm Grey Tropical Blue


 
The ultra-compact Petzl ZIPKA® 2 headlamp is equipped with the ZIP retractable cord system. This feature allows the headlamp to be worn on the head or wrist, or attached to any other support, like a tent pole, etc. This headlamp is extremely versatile, thanks to its three lighting levels (maximum, economic and flashing), which are accessed with a simple electronic pushbutton switch. In maximum mode, the four LEDs deliver 40 lumens of light and provide enough light to see over a distance of 29 meters. In economic mode, the lifetime of the batteries can be extended to up to 120 hours for a long burn-time. The battery compartment is now hinged for easier access along with an easier to use closure system.

        Comments about Petzl Zipka 2 Headlamp:

        This is a terrible headlamp. We bought 4 and 2 were malfunctioning within a month. Our other headlamps have lasted for 5+ years. you can't adjust the beam, the cord dis into your head and the light goes dim and bright at will. So disappointed!

          Comments about Petzl Zipka 2 Headlamp:

          I use my Petzl headlamp literally every day. It's small and convenient when I'm out camping on a weekend, freeing up my hands to do things instead of holding a flashlight. It is so bright and so small, and the retractable cord feature sold me on it. I have strapped it to my Nalgene and set it up above me to Macgyver up a make-shift lamp, and I sometimes wear it around my wrist when it's not the most needed tool.

          But I don't camp everyday--instead, in my little college room, it's a great lamp when a big, real lamp wouldn't cut it. I get in my lofted bed and read at night, when I can't lug a real lamp up to those elevations.

              I use my headlamp to read and not bother others.
              I also use it on a regular basis when examining a hard to see area of our horses.

                Comments about Petzl Zipka 2 Headlamp:

                I live in a town with a lot of stairs that aren't well-illuminated. I carry this in a small compartment in my purse and always have ample light for those moonless nights. I can fit it on my wrist, carry it in my hand, or slip it over my head, depending on what else I'm carrying. I love it so much I have two -- one for my camping gear, one for my purse. And I have given these as gifts to frequent visitors, so they, too, can manage the dark stairs at night.

                      I dropped this little guy so many times that I needed a new one. But the thing took a good beating throughout the year in AFGH and survived. It got continuous use just about every night for walking, running as well as a night-light in the tents, really lit the room up. The hinge busted out but thats to be expected after 20-30 or so drops. Even at its dimmest, it still lit up a huge area.
