Petzl Ultra Headlamp

Hiking & Camping > Lights & HeadlampsRated: ***** by 1 review.

Rock/Creek Outfitters

Ultra-powerful and ergonomic headlamp designed for intense activities such as treks and running. The Petzl Ultra offers ultra-powerful, regulated lighting (350 lumens) and a wide and intense beam that will last for the entire activity. Designed for action, the Ultra is held securely on the head. The Ultra is extremely reliable: in all weather conditions, with long burn-times, the power level is easily verified. The Ultra’s accessories allow the headlamp to adapt to the user’s needs. Most notably, the optional extension cord allows the battery pack to be disconnected from the headband to reduce the weight carried on the head.

When you run the Wasatch 100 for the tenth time, participate in Sweden’s 10MILA orienteering race, or bike at night, it’s quite important to be able to see where you’re going. Let the Petzl Ultra Headlamp lead the way. This headlamp provides 350 lumens at its maximum brightness and lights the trail with both long-distance and wide-angle light at the same time. The stabilized plate and foam pad fit snugly on your head as you bound up or down the mountain and three brightness levels let you balance how far you need to see with how long you need the batteries to run. Check the indicator on the battery to view battery level. An extension cord (sold separately) allows you to keep the rechargeable battery pack warm under your clothing in extreme cold.

I climb alot at night...and why not..it is always dark in New Hampshire, before and after you get out of work! The ultra was not cheap...but then again, nothing great ever is..I'm sold on it and I know it won't be long before the rest of my hiking group is as well.
