Anyone else like these headlamps. I just bought the Petzl XP Headlamp last night, got to try it out camping. I had a hard time justifying $60 for a headlamp, but I guess you get what you pay for. It's pretty sweet. I got it from Cabelas and basically bought because it got very good reviews, and alot of them. Some of it's featurs are below. I think I'll definately get alot of use out of this thing whether it's hunting, fishing, camping, or just out in the yard. Anyone else have one of these or a different brand that they like?
Just curious if alot of others like these things or not.


Single high-output 1-watt LED
Three lighting levels (maximum, optimum and economy)
Boost mode
Wide-angle lens diffuser and an emergency blinker
Adjustable headband and tilt-adjustable lamp body
Weighs only 3.4 oz.

The headlamp is one of the best inventions ever. Use mine all the time. One hangs on the gearshift lever in the truck. I had a Petzl for a number of years and flat woke it out. My son gave me a Cabela's and I like it also, not as well as the Petzl, but the price was right.

The thing I want now is a ND5 laser. My son had his here at the ranch last weekend. It is awesome.

That ND5 looks very nice...... I'll take one of those as well. Although, probably way out of my price range.

We were lighting stuff up over a half mile away with the ND5. Pretty awesome.
 
I have a Cabelas XPG LED Cree Headlamp and like it a lot. I want to say its around 100 lumens

Ive heard nothing but good things about the Petzls too
 
I have one that I primarily use for runs and walks with the dog in the morning, before the sun is up. I don't need it much during the long summer days, but in the winter it comes in handy.
