I don't know how they've improved over the years, but my experience w/ Princeton Tec lights was dismal -- the tab on the cheaply-made battery hatch snaps off, leaving the unit totally worthless. This happened to me while on a climbing trip in Australia. I encountered other people with Princeton Tec lights who experienced exactly the same failure. I was surprised/disappointed to hear Petzls aren't sufficiently waterproof. They're really good in terrestrial environments and I would have hoped they'd work in water as well. Perhaps they make some caving/spelunking units that are more appropriate than those for camping/climbing ? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
