User Review: Petzl MYO XP

Petzl MYO XP
Above: The current MYO XP, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $89.99 CAD

Headlamps accounted for a huge portion of outfitter sales last year -- every serious camping or hiking enthusiast needs one. They make outdoor night life easy and hands-free.

I retired my basic Petzl Myo halogen headlamp after three trips. It's not a bad design, but halogen literally pales in comparison to more recent LED headlamps. LED's are low power (meaning longer battery life), and provide more than enough light for backpacking purposes. The halogen is nice for distance, especially if you're moving fast (if you're biking).
