With few exceptions I am a huge fan of Petzl products; this is the exception. The quality of construction is excellent. That is not my quip.

It is lightweight relative to most other headlamps (comparable to the Petzl Micro) which makes it a good choice for backpackers. It comes standard with the brighter halogen bulb.
