Petzl IKO Core Headtorch

Season:SS24

Brand:Petzl

Code:80001597

Offering efficient lighting thanks to a 500 lumen power beam, this headlamp is rechargeable and weighs only 79 g. Equipped with an Airfit headband, consisting of an ultra-slim front unit and a remote power source at the rear, this innovative lamp is particularly well-balanced and comfortable to the point of being forgotten. In addition, its light beam is obtained thanks to multiple LEDs that provide a homogeneous distribution of light and a much appreciated visual comfort.

Delivered with a CORE rechargeable battery, this model benefits from a second battery option thanks to the Hybrid Concept construction which makes it compatible with three AAA/LR03 batteries (not included). Worn around the head but also worn around the neck, this versatile lamp can also be transformed into a lantern, thanks to its storage pouch. Another advantage: it can be folded flat for easy storage and can be taken anywhere.

Buyers Guide - How to choose a head torch

What should you never go out into the hills without???? A torch!
This key little piece of equipment is not just there to help guide you through your nighttime adventures but it can be an emergency beacon and signalling device too. A small investment (and battery or power management) can literally save your life.
The humble headlamp has undergone an astounding technical re-vamp in the past ten years, not least in the amount of brightness they emit………..

- So what, exactly, is a lumen?
- Why should we focus on more than lumens?
- How long will my headtorch last before recharging/requiring a battery change?
- What is a Dual Fuel Torch???
- How do I know my torch is waterproof?
- Do I get what I pay for?
- What is the safest way to light my tent without carrying a separate lantern?



Top tips to make the right choice:

In rain or snow move the light from your head to chest height (i.e: on a pack strap) this is more comfortable for your eyes and improves your vision. This technique also works really well in still, damp cold conditions – with the light at chest height the light will not reflect off the water molecules that condense in front of your face as you breath out.

An orange light option preserves night vision but still allows you to read contours on maps. This function can work well for ultra’s or orienteering.

Try it on. Elastics come in a variety of widths and even if you are planning on using your torch on a helmet there will be times it will be on your head in camp. If you wear a ponytail – make sure it fits!

    Bought for running. Great balance, no sense of weight on my head and sits comfortably without feeling tight. Three light settings but tend to use the brightest setting when running
