Petzl Tikka Plus Headlamp Review

The Petzl Tikka Plus is an excellent performer. Its beam quality, brightness, feature set, and cold weather performance are all impressive considering its small form factor. The Petzl Tikka Plus offers four modes (including strobe), recessed switch, and pivoting head. This review focuses on cold weather performance of the Tikka Plus, especially in the context of its usabilty with various types of handwear, and the decay of its light intensity over time during exposure to cold. The Petzl Tikka Plus is a significant improvement over its little sister, the Petzl Tikka, due to 50% greater light intensity, rotating pivot, and multiple modes.
