      The new rechargeable battery pack is welcomed, compact and well designed. Light is very light weight. Zip strap is reliable and effective. The new push switch is a great improvement over the former unreliable slide switch. Great for the traveler, for reading and night travel. Throws plenty of light for normal use on trails, etc.

              Comments about Petzl Zipka Plus 2 Headlamp:

              I use it on a small boat when cruising.
              The red light is very useful for moving around and reading charts at night.
              The retracting head band makes the unit compact and easy to stow.
              The head band is uncomfortable after about 1/2 hour (concentrated force on forehead and back of head), but not a real problem.

              Comments about Petzl Zipka Plus 2 Headlamp:

              Love this product. I was skeptical about the expand-o string for your head, but darned if it doesn't work. Never thought I'd need a headlamp, but now that I've used this one, it's no more holding a flashlight in my teeth. If you get one headlamp, this is the one to get. Great job Campmor, and previous Campmor customers who recommended this light.

                This headlamp makes it much easier to walk the dog after dark - frees up both hands for leash, etc.

                Wanted something bright and light weight for elk hunting in the mountains. Served its purpose well. There are brighter lights out there but way more bulky. This fits in you front pocket perfect. Easy to put on and self adjusts to you head wether or not u have a hat on. Great product.

                    If you don't want to carry several lights, this is an excellent choice. It can be worn as a headlamp, on the wrist as a flashlight, or can be attached to a pole/tent for regional lighting.

                        A:

                        To open Petzl Zipka Plus 2 Headlamp at the top of the headlamp there is a button, behind the button is the Zipka logo and behind this logo is a clear tab pull this toward you and this will open the compartment.

                        The cord shown in the picture is the strap. It's retractable, so it'll fit around your head no problem. Most of the time I actually wear mine around my wrist... it illuminates the ground, and is easy to direct elsewhere, while leaving my hands free, and you don't have to worry about blinding anyone you meet.
