Reviews - Petzl Zipka Plus Headlamp w/ retractable strap

Lightweight, effective, long lasting headlamp
This is the third Zipka I've owned and they keep getting better! The light is very light and you will soon forget you have it on your head! This little device is very effecient when it comes to batteries and I have to keep reminding myself to bring extra batteries because they seem to last forever and I'm still waiting (afer three months) to put in a fresh set. The button has been redesigned from the previous version and works better and feels better too. Overall, this is the best ultra-portable headlamp on the market.

Pretty darn cool
I love how small this thing is. I used to have a Tikka, and thought it was great. But the Zipka is even better. The retracting strap is very useful, and will make for a backup bike headlight in a pinch.

bright & lightweight
Excellent so far. Brighter than the Princeton Tec Aurora, and very light weight. Flashing mode will be a help in bike riding after dark.

Functional, light weight
functional take anywhere headlamp. Good for biking at night on flash mode, will attach to anything. Can fit into a pocket, but bright enough to read by.
