Petzl Zipka Plus Headlamp w/ retractable strap
Price: $39.95 - BUY

Enhanced waterproof design and utility strap make this lamp an ideal choice almost anywhere.

Lighter and more compact than the featherweight Tikka headlamp, the waterproof Zipka Plus features a retractable strap that can be attached to your head, arm, legs, pack, pole or whatever works to help you find your way or do your work in the dark. It has a waterproof design and a watertight rubber toggle switch that alternates between four light settings: High, Medium, Economy and Intermittent. The four LED lamps consume roughly one-tenth of the power used by a standard flashlight bulb and offer a lifetime of over 100,000 hours (that's over eleven years of literally living in the dark--no pun intended). Even fully loaded with the included trio of AAA batteries, the Zipka Plus barely nudges the scales at 2.2 ounces, so it's ideal as an emergency essential even in the lightest of minimalist packs.

Advice from the Crown of Africa experience:
"Heath and Moorland -- I suggest a polypro long underwear top and bottom beneath shorts and a T-shirt. During my trek a fleece vest or jacket was kept at ready for pauses in the climb. Gaiters were essential through the wet, knee high grasses at this elevation (though our assistant guide waled ahead of us with a branch sweeping dew off the grass)."
