The Petzl Iko Core headlamp is a revamped version of the essential but relatively outdated headlamp that will provide explorers with a more functional option that is lightweight and comfortable.
The headlamp replaces the conventional head strap with the new patented AirFit headband that is capable of fitting virtually any head size without compromising when it comes to comfort or functionality. The snug design of the unit features a battery pack in the rear to keep it out of the way versus other options that pack the power system into the front portion.
The Petzl Iko Core headlamp has a featherlight design that weighs in at a mere 79 grams, but will deliver a maximum light output of 500 lumens to easily light up distances as far as 100 meters.
