Hi,

I really like my Pezl duobelt LED.  It is built waterproof to -5 meters
and I like the belt pack as a tether just in case the headlamp comes off
during a roll.  It is a hybrid lamp meaning that it has a halogen bulb
as well as a set of LEDs.  I have not used it caving but it has held up
to the abuse I've given it.  The major con is the price but I found it
worth the price.

- Daniel
