[pct-l] Headlamps

[Patrick]

If you're not going to be using it too heavily, definitely get the Petzl
e+lite or the black diamond ion, both are good headlamps and very light (1
ounce or less, with battery).

However, if you expect to be churning through batteries it may be lighter in
the long run to invest in something from black diamond or petzl that uses
AAA or AA batteries. I used a Black Diamond Ion on the PCT in 2008 and 2009
and while the headlamp itself is great, the 6V black diamond batteries
really kill you at $5 for one. Petzl batteries would probably be cheaper
(some sort of large watch battery) but I don't have any personal experience
with that.
