Petzl e+LITE Emergency Headlamp

Petzl e+LITE Emergency Headlamp description

The Petzl e+LITE Emergency Headlamp can mean the difference between finding the car and sleeping on the side of the trail when your day hike runs a bit late. As Petzl's first emergency-specific headlamp, the e+LITE comes with a protective carry case, which you can store in your pack, your car, or at home. The crew at Alpinist tested it out and gave it their Mountain Standards Award. Thanks to its 10-year shelf life, this headlamp will be ready when a storm knocks out your electricity in town. The e+LITE Emergency Headlamp weighs less than an ounce, and projects light up to 19 meters with white LED lights to help you find you way. It also has a red strobe that lasts 45 hours to signal your location to searchers.

Bottom Line: Always be prepared for the dark with the Petzl e+LITE Emergancy Headlamp.

I like how small it is and how simple it is with using the watch battery style batteries. The strap on it is great because of how low key it is. the options for different lights is way cool too because you just flip the switch rather then pressing a button 4 times to get the setting you want. I use this ALL the time! It would be great to put this in your glove compartment if you have to switch out a flat tire at night. The size is amazing and the case it comes with is super nice to have. It packs a ton of power with such a small size.

Wicked light, Wicked bright, and you can clip it to a hat, or your tent window flap, or your buddy's pack. Great as a backup or lightweight alternative. A must have for all mountain folk.
