Petzl | SWIFT® RL Head Torch – Orange

You can choose between two lighting modes: REACTIVE LIGHTING® or STANDARD LIGHTING.

In REACTIVE LIGHTING® mode, a light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness and beam pattern.

Making the Petzl SWIFT® RL Head Torch an excellent option for long distance runs, such as ultras.

The lightweight reflective headband features a split design to improve comfort. There’s also a mounting plate at the front which enables you to easily adjust the lamp upward and downward. 

Weighing only 100 grams, the Petzl SWIFT® RL Head Torch is ultra lightweight. When you consider this, the battery life, and the lumens, there’s no doubt this is an amazing piece of kit.
