Lately, I was rearranging gear, cleaning it up and packing it up when i noticed something was missing. I don't know how it happened but I lost my headlamp and my glacier goggles! :(
I've had a few over the years and one I still continue to use but it is just for backpacking or camping (the headlamp). I lost the Petzl TIKKA, which I really loved to use. It worked for just about all occasions. I recently have found myself getting into the mountains, though and I am now deciding on getting a new headlamp and pair of glacier goggles.
If anyone has any suggestions on the best headlamp and goggles please let me know. I would really like to hear what others think about their own gear or what gear they would like to use. Any information helps and thanks for the feedback. Im really just looking for something that will work well and live a long life with me on my trips.
(Please feel free to add any information you would like about Rainier, Robson, The Grand Teton, Pingora or Mount Columbia as those will be the peaks I am attempting at meeting over the next 2 years of my travels)

The tikka rxp is an excellent replacement if u like petzl ... Ueli steck used it on annapurna

The fenix HL55 gives you 3 hours of 400L, 10 hours of 150L and a 900L burst all for 145g including the bat

I own and use both

I love my BD Storm...never failed me. Some people do not like the many options but it offers but for me it always worked

Another vote for the storm. Great headlamp and waterproof

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
