| Great! 01-16-07 |

| I've had my TacTikka XP Adapt since Christmas and it has been great. The lowest level of light is great for navigation and the zoom is perfect to prevent getting cliffed out. It is nice and compact. The only down side is that you can't use lithiums. |

| Get the Best and only cry once 12-06-09 |

| If you are serious about having quality gear that you can count on working when you need it to work, then this is the headlamp for you. Ruggedly built to withstand substantial punishment, the TacTikka XP will still be working when you finally return to civilization.
It is very solidly built, and has a rubber O-ring/gasket seal that keeps the water out and the batteries dry. I've been using mine for over a year now, and it's the best headlamp I've owned to date (out of 4 previous others on the market I've owned/broken/given away).
I took it with me when I had to complete the Army's 3-week survival school, and it performed flawlessly. It did not burn thru battery power like other headlamps (when the water was freezing in our worn Camelbacks), and it did not short out when it was constantly exposed to rain for three solid days and nights (just to give you an idea of some of the conditions that destroyed other's headlamps). Prior to that, I used it heavily for night land navigation (Army Orienteering), and it's my #1 "go to" light. Once you get the band(s) adjusted to your head, the light stays solidly in place even while going over severely uneven terrain.
There are three brightness settings...low, med, and "land your aircraft with it" bright. I don't understand why people say the light is not bright enough. Once your eyes have adapted to the dark, medium puts out plenty of light. If you've been inside or using bright, white light and immediately go outside during a new moon...sure, the headlamp may seem dim, but so would my Surefire under those conditions.
It's probably overkill for "casual campers" who have a much lower cost/quality ratio...but a definite must for people who are looking for rugged, reliable, and dependable quality. Absolutely five stars. |

| You'll never regret it 02-04-10 |

| This is a great headlamp! I've had this for a few years and have never had it fail me. I like the easy changing between spot and flood as well as the multiple lighting level that give it the ability to adapt to any need that you could have. It seems to be pretty water resistant too. I dropped it in a creek once and had no troubles from it at all after that. I can't say that I have found any reason not to recommend this to anyone. |
