Workhorse of Headlamps!
The Petzl Zoom headlamp is the workhorse of headlamps. I conceed that it doesn't have the weight savings or battery life that the new LED lights have, but it is still a great piece of equipment. The advantage of the ability to focus the nice bright beam of light is key when you need to see a long distance or be able to really see what you are doing. The little Tikka is great for generally light, but not so great if you need a lot of light on the activity at hand, like working with charts or making repairs to equipment in field or on the road.

Poor
This petzl headlamp is horrible. I would never again purchase anything remotely similar to this again. From now on I am going with Black Diamond all the way. I can't believe the low battery life and everything else. DON'T PURCHASE!! BIG MISTAKE!!

Great product but heavy on batteries
Engineered to last forever, absolutely dependable but heavy on batteries compared with newer technology. Mine saved my butt when some poachers set their pit bull on me -sometimes you need both hands!

Petzl Zoom
It is a great device. Tough and Durable. The only problems I have with it are that the batteries don't last as long, and it's not as small as some as I would ideally like. But this only matters if you are concerned with how much you have in your pack and how much time you need the light to last. What I like about it is that it's not fiddly. You just change the battery, turn it on (which is easier than some of the others) and away you go. The light, I find it good and it's also good that you can focus the light. Great if the batterie's were smaller and lasted longer-but it sits nicely. I have used in in the mountains and it has worked well.

Standard piece of equipment
Before the Tikka came along, this was the headlamp you wanted for saving your butt. I can't remember how many times I have hiked out in the dark on climbs, the Zoom gives you lots of focused light to get back to camp and cook up some dinner. The standard for strong headlamps
