I have been a big fan of the Petzl Tikka XP.
The design and comfort is one of the finest I've seen.
I still have it and love it. Now I'm looking to purchase a second one so I can keep one in two separate locations.
But I find it's been replaced with the Tikka XP 2 which I'm not interested in at all (after reading lots of impressions and pics). Big step backwards from Petzl.
Things I need:
---
*Same diffuse quality and angle as the Tikka XP (or better) since I nearly always use it this way.
*Spotlight capability too ('cause occasionally I use it this way)
*waterproof like the Tikka XP
---
I don't know much about headlamps but I know I like the Tikka XP.
Budget: less than USD $100.
I've seen the Petzl Pixa just starting to go on sale but I'm confused as to which would be most suitable to me and not sure if the extra weight would be good on my noggin. Plus it doesn't seem to be selling many places yet. I love the dial on the side and the idea of more battery life than the Tikka XP though.
Any suggestions?
Any other models I should be looking into?
