I used this a few weeks ago while camping and caving. It worked very well both in the tent while reading, and while surrounded by total darkness in the cave. The hands-free system comes in quite handy. I highly recommend it.

Great little light for climbing. I like to keep one in my pocket when I go climbing just in case the climb takes longer than expected. Nothing is more comforting than being able to see at night during a sketchy rap or walkoff.

Great headlamp for running. I purchased it to replace my old one that lost a battle with my dog. Great light weight design. The battery life is great. I will use it ~1-2 hrs/week and not need to replace the batteries for months. Very bright and the multiple settings are helpful for a variety of settings. I found the lower setting quite helpful for running in heavy fog or snow showers. I've been very happy with the Petzl brand.

A friend of mine had one of these Petzl Zipka 2 headlamps for camping and recommended it. So I got one for myself to use when jogging at night, to light the road ahead of me. It works great. I put it over a beanie cap that I wear and it stays put; not too tight and it doesn't leave a mark on my forehead, but also does not move around from the jogging. It is very lightweight; I hardly notice it is there. It is bright enough for me to see so that I don't trip, and also gives some warning to oncoming traffic that there is a jogger at the side of the road. (I also wear reflective gear and a red flasher for extra safety.) I've worn it in snow and light sprinkles and it has not had any trouble with moisture. The retractable cord is very sturdy; the only think I think I would need to be careful of is maybe if I used it at a beach or something I'd watch getting sand pulled into the mechanism, but that isn't something I'm greatly concerned about. It is exactly what I needed and I've been very happy with it, and also with Zappos for their fast shipping and quality website and service.
