This giveaway is now closed with 235 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ HODGEPODGESPV!

If your family loves the outdoors, Petzl offers terrific headlamps for any activity that requires hands-free lighting. Whether you hike, fish, sail, or run, Petzl offers a wide variety of headlamps, gear and technical advices for many outdoor sports.

Petzl sent over their Tikka Plus 4 LED headlamp with 3 lighting levels in the color sea blue. It also comes in dark gray and gold. We've never used a headlamp before and did not know what to expect. We were both pleasantly surprised with this compact, lightweight and high quality light. The 3 lighting levels are wonderful and very useful. You can also choose a continuous or flashing light which is great. It's a nice compact size and very comfortable to wear. The stretchy headband is fully adjustable and stays in place. It also comes with batteries which is always a plus.

My husband and I love to go hiking and we also have big plans to go camping this year. This headlamp will seriously come in handy. I feel a lot safer knowing we have it and this will product will last a long time. This functional light is a must-have for any outdoor enthusiast! It's also great to have around in emergency situations! It's so small that you can easily fit it in your pocket.



Here are all of the details about the Tikka Plus from their website:

Designed to meet the many proximity lighting needs encountered when trekking over many days and bivouacking, the TIKKA PLUS has three lighting modes to adapt the power and burn time of the light to the activity: to locate a cairn (maximum mode), to follow a tricky path (optimum mode) or to read a map (economic mode). The flashing mode can be used to signaling the user’s location, if necessary. The lighting mode is selected using the easy-to-use button, adjusting quickly and easily to the situation by favoring either brightness or burn time (up to 150 hours). The TIKKA PLUS headlamp offers an ideal balance between ease of use, power and burn time.

• Lighting level can be adjusted to help conserve battery life: four LEDs produce flood beam lighting with a long burn time, three lighting levels (maximum, optimum, economic), two lighting modes (continuous and flashing).
• Compact and lightweight: single compartment contains LED and batteries, 78 g including batteries
• Practical: beam can be easily aimed where needed, comfortable and adjustable elastic headband
• Operates on three AAA/LR03 batteries (included)
• Degree of protection: IP X4 (water-resistant)
• 3-year guarantee

Here is more about this outstanding company from their website:

"The family company originated with my father, Fernand Petzl, and his passion for caving. One of the leading experts of his generation, he spent his life experimenting with new vertical progression techniques and invented equipment that radically changed the status quo. The Petzl company quickly applied these underground tools and solutions to other vertical environments: to the mountains first - rock climbing and mountaineering - and then to the professional sector, with work and rescue at height. Petzl is now known as the leading innovator in the vertical world and has been associated with all major underground, alpine and Himalayan adventures since the 1970s. While closely involved with outdoor sports enthusiasts and professionals, we remain true to our core values and ways: listening to and valuing our customers, taking innovative and practical approaches and demanding the highest quality."

Petzl would like to offer one lucky reader a Tikka Plus!
