Hiking/Backpacking headlamp styles?
I want to get my boyfriend a headlamp for night hiking/backpacking. I am unsure whether to go with the single band or the 3 point band style. I can't ask which he would prefer because it's to be a surprise. So, if anyone has any experience with the 2, which is more comfortable/stays in place better/etc? The 3 point style also has the battery compartment seperate from the light, creating 2 hard pieces instead of one.
I was all set to get the Petzl Tikka Plus (single band) but then I found a Princeton Tec Yukon for 1/2 price (3 point). Thanks for reading!
Answer:
Petzl makes solid gear, I have used them for the last fifteen years or so, without complaint. For comfort, and function, I prefer the single band, aaa battery lamps, and I you really love him, get him one with 4 LEDS, I find the three LED lights to be lacking.
