Hi guys (and ladies).
Due to oncoming Bushmoot I have been browsing through my gear and I'm thinking about few upgrades.

At the moment I'm using Tikka XP and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. But Fenix HL30 looks a bit better in almost any aspect. At least on paper:

More powerfull, more compact, better choice of batteries etc.
Any one have any experience with this one? Any thoughts are welcome.

I don't like the strap over the top. I would stick with the Petzl - great head torches. I don't think there is much advantage in using 2 x AA over 3 x AAA batteries and the Tikka XP is as good as any headtorch in that price range.
