Using Petzl's clever retractable cord system, the classic ZIPKA headtorch is one of the most compact headtorches out there. This latest version belts out 200 lumens of brightness, enough to light up 60metres ahead; amazing for such a light and compact unit.
Its self-adjusting retractable cord, a Petzl patent, offers various possibilities for wearing on your head or for mounting onto handlebars, around fenceposts or attaching to helmets.
The ZIPKA uses the latest LED technology to provide a long burn time; up to 240hrs on the economy setting. It is extremely practical for outdoor activities like camping or trekking, or for traveling, and also for daily activities and projects around the house. Its bright enough for night time trail runs too.
The glow in the dark reflector helps you locate your ZIPKA in the dark or at the bottom of a rucksack, while the red lighting prevents members of a group from blinding each other and helps preserve night vision. The red strobe feature is useful in an emergency, as is the low profile rescue whistle that's integrated onto teh headstrap.
The ZIPKA is also a HYBRID headlamp that is also compatible with both AAA batteries (both Ni-MH and Lithium) and the Petzl CORE rechargeable battery.
