User Review: Princeton Tec Yukon HL

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: approx. $60 Cdn.

Have owned this headlamp for almost four years and have used it on my oyster lease during cold winter nights, taken it on numerous hikes and treks and it has travelled around the world for 15 months! I took it back for a warranty repair because the rubber cord that houses the wires had pulled from the lamp exposing the wires and compromising water-tightness (this is most likely a result of pulling the light out of a tightly-packed backpack). Princeton Tec simply gave me a new light, which I didn't think was necessary but appreciated it very much! It is good advice to have a small bag to put your light in to avoid pulling on exposed cords when retrieving from bags and backpacks.

It has been a sturdy and reliable light as I certainly abused it. Princeton Tec honoured their warranty, no questions asked, and although a basic model without brightness settings on the two lighting types, it is priced right. Not sure if they make this model anymore but the Yukon HL is the newer version which my girlfriend has.
