I'm looking for Quarks on eBay, have Petzl changed the design of them ver the years? The ones I'm looking at are 6 yrs, but hardly used and the only diff I can see is that there are no griprests (which I can get from elsewhere) Thanks, Espen question_137468 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:55:15 GMT All right...I looked at the performance chart and it does look http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-MYO-XP-Headlamp/PTZ0215M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_137361#question_137361 Petzl MYO XP Headlamp All right...I looked at the performance chart and it does look like XP lasts longer and the RXP looks like it could go for a couple one night events before changing the batteries. I use it all year round and live in Pennsylvania. I tend to use it more in the winter time due to the shorter daylight hours. Does it seem worth it to get the XP or RXP based on this? I am very indecisive when it comes to decisions like these. The RXP is not much more than the XP but I am not sure about the programming. After looking at the charts it seems like the RXP is brighter but the XP has longer burn times. It doesnt seem like the RXP is that much brighter either or at least by a large amount. Seeing how I am not going on any long overnight journeys, I think I am going to go with the RXP, mainly because it is a little brighter and you can use lithium batteries. The batteries seem like they will give it a better performance in the cold. Does this sound like a reasonable excuse to upgrade or is it better to stick with what everyone says has been working well? Your thoughts. I cant decide for myself here. question_137361 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:00:57 GMT Will it work on a pair of Scarpa T1 Race telemark boot??? http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Vasak-12-Point-Mountaineering-Crampon/PTZ0071M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_137205#question_137205 Petzl Vasak 12-Point Mountaineering Crampon Will it work on a pair of Scarpa T1 Race telemark boot??? question_137205 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:51:31 GMT Is it worth it to get the RXP due to the lithium batteries option? http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-MYO-XP-Headlamp/PTZ0215M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_137180#question_137180 Petzl MYO XP Headlamp Is it worth it to get the RXP due to the lithium batteries option? How much longer does it last in the winter time. The different lighting levels seem like they would be good but it looked like the light does not last as long. I would only use it for one night events so I don't know if it is worth the upgrade. I have a different headlamp now but I am looking for one that has a focused beam as well. question_137180 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:14:16 GMT does the light come with it http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Adapt-Tikka-2-Headlamp-Kit/PTZ0265M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134915#question_134915 Petzl Adapt Tikka 2 Headlamp Kit does the light come with it question_134915 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:37:35 GMT What is the best battery type to use on this light?

Compared with the leg straps (or even with my old Petzl Corax harness), the ends of the webbing for the waist-harness are folded over and sewn in the wrong direction. Shouldn't they be pointed out so that they can catch on the elastic keeper and outside of the buckle? Can anyone help? question_134264 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:09:48 GMT So I have used the Petzl Aztars before for solid vertical ice http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Quark-Ice-Axe/PTZ0060M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134054#question_134054 Petzl Quark Ice Axe So I have used the Petzl Aztars before for solid vertical ice and I really like the balance of them and the feel and shape of the handle. Overall I really liked them. So my question is how do these tools compare to the Aztars? The reason I don't just get the Aztars is because I really like the lease and the trigger on these? Is there any other major differences I should be aware of? question_134054 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:05:37 GMT How do I size Cordex rappel gloves Usually between size M/L Tends http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Cordex-Belay-Rappel-Glove/PTZ0224M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134043#question_134043 Petzl Cordex Belay/Rappel Glove How do I size Cordex rappel gloves Usually between size M/L Tends to run or want smaller or larger 5'9" Size 9 1/2 shoe question_134043 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:50:59 GMT which type of carabiners do i use to connect a petzl croll to http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Croll-Chest-Ascender/PTZ0113M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_133867#question_133867 Petzl Croll Chest Ascender which type of carabiners do i use to connect a petzl croll to my petzl navaho bod harness. question_133867 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:02:44 GMT It appears to me that the retractable strap would dig into your http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Zipka-Plus-2-Headlamp/PTZ0263M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_133589#question_133589 Petzl Zipka Plus 2 Headlamp It appears to me that the retractable strap would dig into your head and cause discomfort.
