Most people classify energy-saving LED headlamps as a safer substitute for tent-bound candle lanterns, but Petzl's Myo® XP shines new light on nocturnal potential beyond the tent and campsite. It features a focused, high-power single LED light bulb with a special boost mode that illuminates up to 71 yards for twenty-second intervals. While boost mode is an energy-saving option (batteries can last up to 170 hours), it's a fairly practical feature when you think about how much time you spend looking at the ground directly in front of your feet while hiking or climbing in the pre-dawn and dusk hours. In addition to boost mode, the Petzl Myo® XP has three other lighting settings: Maximum, optimum and economy. Economy is perfect for tent reading and sorting pack gear while the maximum mode will help you spot objects almost 50 yards down the trail--depending on the color of your surrounding landscape (we found that wet basalt rock doesn't reflect much light). A wide angle lens, tilt lamp and superb water resistance are standard features. The battery life indicator reminds you when the batteries are at 30% capacity and 10% capacity and all switches are covered to avoid accidental shutoff. See more and do more after the sun goes down--shed some light on the innovative Petzl Myo® this season.
One of the most difficult caves in Romania
I'm an addicted rock climber, caver and mountainbiker. I've used Myo XP for two difficult caves in Romania. Last time it survived after 5 hours of hard caving (3 km long underground river, swiming in 6 degrees Celsius water , several jumps in waterfalls - so it was submersed, mud etc). The light was very bright and I was able to see everything in the 40 m tall cave. The most amayzing thing it was that water entered in every single space of the lamp but it still worked with no problems. I would not recommend to abuse it in this way very often, but nevertheless this headlamp is even better than the producer states it is.
myo xp
so great you would not change for anything less...it is so bright that you can travel comfortably even in the darkest night in your bicycle...just give it a try and you will love it...
Worth Every Penny
I am an avid rock/mountain climber and will go late into the night. I have used this hundreds upon hundreds of times and has NEVER failed me! Very comfortable, stylish, durable, and has several light settings. Best headlamp I have ever owned!

PETZL MYO XP
Just picked mine up today and this would have to be the most simple headlight to use, with outstanding performance, this one is a keeper
Awesome
It's worth the price folks. An excellent buy.
headlamp
i love the light it is bright and comfortable to wear. i am not sure about the batteries i haven't had it long enough. But so far so good
Great light! Durable!
Great Illumination, and battery life. AA vs AAA batteries make a huge difference in performance over other models. For best results an performance use Lithium batteries(Best price I have found is Sam's Club)
best mountaineering headlamp
at this price, this is the best mountaineering headlamp out there hands down. the multiple settings and long battery life are perfect for summit climbs to rainier that start in the wee hours of the morning!
GREAT
I am I an A/P mechanic head light is a must for kinda job .. this one is simply the best ... just give it a try .. worth the money
Myo XP - lighting the way.
The Petzl Myo XP is a new design from Petzl. It takes three AA/LR6 type batteries, is water resistant, has three power settings (from a 1 watt LED) and a diffuser for widening the light emission. Even at it's medium setting, my Myo XP was making my friend's Princeton look like a toy. This is by far the brightest LED headlamp I've seen on the trail.
It also has a BOOST mode which can be held for 20 seconds to increase the power output, for when you want to throw a spot on that dark patch of woods, or check out that deep cave.
Overall, a great design. For my complete review, please see http://outdoors.jasonpaterson.com/article.html?id=5
Multi-purpose light good all round. Suggest future modification
The variety of features, adjustable beam length, wide angle beam, swivel head and water proofing make this an ideal lamp for different sports activities. The swivel head I especially like it makes it easy to light the path on hill descents or to search for objects dropped on the ground. The buttons are easily accessible while on the move, and it is light and comfortable. Could the battery pack be incorporated in the head instead of at the back and perhaps use two not three batteries? The loss off battery life duration would be compensated by a lighter weight.
Brilliant!
I needed a headlight for my pre-dawn trail runs in heavy woods and rocky, hilly single track trails. After reading many reviews of headlights from different sources I pretty much gave up. Most seemed either too big and bulky (and heavy) or too small and weak.
Then I saw an ad for the Petzl Myo XP and decided to try it. Night-time trail running is an odd experience at first but I quickly adjusted. The Myo XP was plenty bright for the trails, illuminating everything I looked at. The adjustable beam made it possible to keep light exactly where I needed it. In those 30 minutes or so before sunrise when there is some light, I set the headlight on a lower setting to conserve batteries and set it at the lowest level just before sunrise. The headlight was lightweight enough to forget that it was on my head and was easily adjustable. The Myo XP even looks great! What can I say? I'm getting ready for my next 5:00 a.m. run!
