As you all know, I’m a big fan of my new Petzl Myo XP. Well, I came accross the Petzl Tikka XP today on a Blog I was featured on… “The Mountain Gear Blog”. I’d be interested to see this yoke go, looks like a budget version of the Myo XP, which could be great as we all know the Myo is pricey!

Mountain Gear Blog: Petzl Tikka XP - The Best of Both Worlds: “Petzl as finally done it - combined all the great things about its Tikka headlamp (small, light and no clutter at the back of your head) and put it together with its new XP technology to give a penetrating beam with a bit more oomph in the new Tikka XP.

The new light has a claimed maximum light distance of 50 meters (using a boost mode) with a normal beam of 35 meters. That puts it right up there as a light you can use for more than just pottering around the camp or lighting the way on an easy route. There are just some climbs and walks when you need that extra reach for route-finding. It’s also good to have the extra stretch should you ever find yourself doing search and rescue on a mountain.”
