The concept of the headlamp seems so obvious today. However, in 1972 when Petzl invented the first headlamp, the idea of attaching the lamp and the battery case to a headband was very innovative: by freeing the hands, any activity could be carried out thanks to a beam of light that remained oriented in the direction the wearer was looking. Today, the Petzl range of headlamps, by its innovations and by its diversity responds to the demands of numerous situations, from the most extreme (caving, mountaineering, etc...) to everyday needs. From an arctic expedition to the glove box of a car, from ultra marathons to ski-mountaineering, or even reading in the hut, Petzl's expertise lights the way where ever you go.
