this thing is sweet
my normal headlamp i carry is the tikka plus, but when i saw this thing i had to have it. it's so much more convenient storing it in your pack than having the headband flopping around, snagging on stuff when you're trying to pull it out. my only concern is that I might accidentally break the retractable string. also, i tend to like my light shining at a more downward angle, so i always have to position this awkwardly low on my forehead because it doesn't have the angle adjustment like the tikka. besides that, i love it though

Light, and easy to use.Edit: Well, it's not perfect. In fact, the band is too short for my ski helmet (CAMP Pulse). I suspect this may also be the case with some of the newer foam type helmets as well. Oh well, still a good product, and fits my Petzl helmet just fine.
