Headlamps
Did you know we have written a blog about matching your persona with the right headlamp? Check it out our here!
Probably if you are looking for a headlamp you already know what characteristics you need and what you are expecting for it.
You are looking for:
1) A Powerful light for fast activities like ski mountaineering or mountain biking:
In this case you are looking for the Hybrid or Rechargeable model depending on your budget and needs. Both very powerful, and completely IPX4 waterproof. They also offer Brightness memory, red light modus and different power levels. The Hybrid model comes with a rechareable battery and can also be used with seperate AA batteries. The Rechargeable model, as the name suggests, has a built-in rechargeable battery.
2) The best versatility for a reasonable price:
The Hybrid model is the lamp you want if you want to have only one lamp for everything. It is the best compromise between power and function and can be used well for casual purposes like an evening stroll with your dog or nighttime work activities. It is also going to be your best companion for camping for late afternoon climbing or hiking, in the first hours of your ascension to the submit on alpine expeditions. And if you occasionally go night cross country skiing it will make the deal even if it’s not the most powerful one.
3) The best price/quality:
The Standard Model can surely be your everyday light. It has all the characteristics of the Hybrid in a less powerful and more compact version for a lower budget. 180-200 Lumens are enough for most of the task as long as you don’t want to go on a downhill ride in the night or to descend the snowy slopes on your skis. It is still going to be perfect for camping or night activities that don’t require too much speed. And of course, it is a very high-quality choice for a backup lamp. It comes with one seperate AA battery.
4) The rechargeable one:
If you don’t want to worry about batteries, and you want a practical USB rechargeable lamp, the Rechargeable Model with its 380-400 Lumens is the lamp for you. Strong night vision, IPX4 waterproof and still compact. Anything you want from a Headlamp in a rechargeable version. You want a slightly more functional headlamp which has a seperate rechargeable battery? Then, the Hybrid Model is your best friend.
5) The lightest and most compact one:
The Standard is the lamp you need. With its 180-200 Lumes it is the perfect headlamp for ultralight, pre-dawn or post-dusk adventues. But also, very suited for a backup lamp you always want to have with you without having to worry about the weight, but with all the functionality of a bigger lamp.
6) The Running lamp:
The Rechargeable Model is our most stable and balanced lamp. With a sleek rechargeable design and excellent fore-aft balance, the 380-400 Lumens Rechargeable Model is a versatile, all-weather light that's ideal for high-impact use on the trail or the skin track. The lithium polymer battery recharges through a USB port in 5 hours, and a storm-proof design keeps it going strong in any weather with regulation for constant illumination throughout the battery life.
7) The affordable one
Strong enough for any mountain pursuit and compact enough for backup or emergency use, the Standard Model boasts a powerful beam at 180-200 lumens, yet is simple, sleek and affordable. Can be the perfect present for your outdoorsy friends if you don’t have any idea for Christmas or a Birthday.
Our Standard Model headlamps use one AA battery for convenience and accessibility. The Hybrid Model comes with a seperate rechargeable battery but can also be used with 3 AA batteries. The Rechargeable and Endurance Models contains a built-in battery which is charged by a USB-C cable.
