Lighter and more compact than the featherweight Tikka headlamp, the Zipka Plus features a retractable strap that can be attached to your head, arm, legs, pack, pole or whatever works to help you find your way or do your work in the dark. The Zipka Plus features a rubber toggle switch that alternates between four light settings: High, Medium, Economy and Intermittent. The four LED lamps consume roughly one-tenth of the power used by a standard flashlight bulb and offer a lifetime of over 100,000 hours. Even fully loaded with the included trio of AAA batteries, the Zipka Plus barely nudges the scales at 2.2 ounces, so it's ideal as an emergency essential even in the lightest of minimalist packs.
Awesome
This headlamp is awesome. It's compact size and brightness make it ideal to stick in your tackle box, pocket, or glove box. It made fantastic groomsmen gifts.
Perfect!
Super-handy lamp that easily wraps around items to ensure usage in almost any condition!
GREAT LITTLE LIGHT
I WAS LOOKING FOR A LIGHT TO CLIP ONTO MY BACKPACK STRAP, AND THIS ONE DOES THE TRICK. EASILY REMOVABLE IF I WANT A HANDS FREE LIGHT ON MY WRIST.

Lightweight, functional, practical, NECESSARY!
I'm not an athlete or adventurer, just blind as a bat. This light is great, goes in my purse or pocket. Have used it to fix my car at night, while walking in the evening, at a night festival, while traveling, while reading a book at night next to my sleeping husband! It's indispensable! We own a couple Tikkas, too, but this one is my absolute favorite because it can go with me anywhere! Will also give as gifts!
bright, light, and comfortable
This is deffinately the best headlamp I'll ever own. You can barely feel it, and it is very bright. It basically weighs as much as 3 AAA batteries, and can fit into a pocket with ease. Its waterproof, and it'll basically last forever. Great for the price!!
Great for Pack or Pocket
I work at a summer camp and this is ideal for carrying in my pocket until I need to pop it on. The different light settings are great for distance (bright) or not disturbing campers (dim). The strobe light makes for a little entertainment. Altrec got me a great price, but even at full price it is a good investment.
IT WORKS!
This is the handiest lamp ever.
Easy to keep close since there are no cumbersom straps.
Lightweight, effective, long lasting headlamp
This is the third Zipka I've owned and they keep getting better! The light is very light and you will soon forget you have it on your head! This little device is very effecient when it comes to batteries and I have to keep reminding myself to bring extra batteries because they seem to last forever and I'm still waiting (afer three months) to put in a fresh set.
The button has been redesigned from the previous version and works better and feels better too.
Overall, this is the best ultra-portable headlamp on the market.
Pretty darn cool
I love how small this thing is. I used to have a Tikka, and thought it was great. But the Zipka is even better. The retracting strap is very useful, and will make for a backup bike headlight in a pinch.
bright & lightweight
Excellent so far. Brighter than the Princeton Tec Aurora, and very light weight. Flashing mode will be a help in bike riding after dark.
Functional, light weight
functional take anywhere headlamp. Good for biking at night on flash mode, will attach to anything. Can fit into a pocket, but bright enough to read by.
Great, easy to use, no other matches it, yet
This is an extremely handy headlamp, small and easy to use. I've bought 6, they make great gifts.
