IKO

Low-bulk, perfectly balanced 350-lumen headlamp

For extended low-light adventures, a decent head torch is a must. But many bulky and heavy headlamps get uncomfortable if youre forced to wear them for hours on end. Petzls Iko is different. It has been ergonomically designed for supreme comfort, while combining multiple technologies to offer a bright, 350-lumen output with a weight penalty of just 90g. Key to the design is Petzls Airfit headband, which fuses an ultra-thin lamp body with a battery unit worn at the back of the head. This balanced construction ensures enhanced long-term wearing comfort. The multiple LEDs are easy on the eyes too, being ideally distributed for optimal uniform lighting, with no retina-burning hotspots. The Iko comes with 3 standard AAA batteries but is also compatible with Petzls Core rechargeable battery, making it a versatile adventure companion. The low-bulk design packs away easily, while it can also be worn around the neck or even transformed into a lantern, using the supplied storage pouch.

• Supports Eco Initiatives – The Petzl Foundation supports non-profit organizations whose role is to discover and protect biodiversity on cliffs, in caves and in mountain ranges

• As a brand, Petzl was born in the darkness. Their story began with founder Fernand Petzls passion for caving, back in the mid-1930s. Out of that passion, Petzl started to design innovative solutions for ascending, descending, belaying and moving about underground. This included pioneering headlamps and rope safety equipment. But alpinists soon discovered that what worked below the earth also worked above it, and Petzl kit was quickly co-opted by climbers, mountaineers and skiers.

  Today, Petzl remains one of the leading technical brands in all these fields, still devoted to one mission: to access the inaccessible. The product range is split into two core categories: lighting which includes some of the worlds most advanced head torches; and verticality highly technical equipment designed for those venturing into the worlds loftiest mountain ranges as well as the globes deepest, darkest places.
