PETZL Swift RL Headlamp - Orange (Legacy)

But this as a present to my cousin when I took a trip to Hungary, he was happy with it and says they are very comfortable, very bright and easy to use.

I've had this headlamp for about a year now, and put it through its paces. I've had it in my pack in a hidden compartment indefinitely, and I'm glad I got it. Took it out climbing, and ended up getting back a bit later than expected. The light on full power is bright enough that I felt confident enough to run on a pitch black night with about the same confidence as running in dusk or sun up conditions. Further, the fog light is very convenient; I had a whiteout ski "adventure" where we ended up (again) out later than expected, and it worked great for keeping the path lit enough to keep going. Charging is trivial, and although it's not the fastest to charge up, just leave it on the charger overnight before your adventures. And if you're forgetful like me, it has enough battery life that you can be confident it will (probably) get you through multiple emergency situations on one charge. Functions well in inclement weather, comes with a good enough case, and attaches to headgear/helmets easily.

I really like this headlamp and I’m glad I got it over a cheaper one because the little sensor on it is very well done. It subtly adjusts up or down depending on how far away you’re looking and it works very well. It also uses the sensor to turn the headlamp off completely if you enter a brightly lit area which saves power and is just downright convenient not having to mess with the settings as conditions change. The only downside I’ve seen is that if your breath condenses right in front of your face it can sometimes block the sensor making it think you’re looking at something very close and dimming the light. In practice it’s a minor issue but it is one situation where the sensor doesn’t do the right thing. I use this mainly for trail running in the dark in the Pacific Northwest and it’s perfect.

Simply the best overall headlamp you can buy. Although a little pricey, you get what you pay for, and this lamp delivers, I have purchased three of them over the last 2 years. I live in rural Costa Rica and when I'm out walking the dogs at night, I can see whatever snake is in our path way before I step on it. Dear Petzl, feel free to make me a product tester.... If only everything else was made this well....

This is a very bright headlamp. I picked it up because of the USB-C rechargeability. And it's also dual function for me: I use it both for hiking and for night riding my bicycle. I find that it's bright enough for bike riding. As far as its durability goes. IDK? I've had it for months now, I've used it extensively, and I have absolutely no problems with it. But I'm also careful with getting it wet. That's always my main concern. I haven't had it out of my head in a full downpour. I try to keep it tucked under the hood of my raincoat. With careful usage its been very durable for me. I appreciate the fitting mechanism of the headlamp. I like the way it tightens and is easy to adjust. Its very comfortable to wear. I'm knocking it one star for two reasons. One is that the power switch is easily pushed, and I've had the battery drain a couple of times because the light was on inside my pack all day. Also, there's just something about it, maybe its the power switch thing. But this doesn't quite feel like the perfect piece of gear that I love every time I look at it. It's a high bar. But I like to have every single piece of my gear dialed in exactly what I want. Oh yeah, and the "reactive lighting" feature. I don't use it. I find it to be annoying, actually. Maybe it's just me, but having the light flicker randomly to brighter/dimmer settings in the dark is kind of distracting, and I don't like it. I always turn off that feature. It's definitely a solid headlamp. Worth the money. Just not perfect for me.

A headlamp is a necessity in just about anywhere wild. I have used this one in Colombia, Ghana, and Oaxaca Thus far. It is compact, featherweight, and fits well It is very bright; for nighttime trail walking, the least bright option is fine. The battery life is long enough that I have never come close to exhausting it. This replaces an oldervPetzl that went missing on a trip. Compared to the old one, it is much brighter, but more or less the same size and weight.

Great high end headlamp. My only complaint is that the red LED only has one level, I would have liked a brighter mode but for night hiking, you can't beat this.

Outstanding versatility, long, long battery life and very comfortable headband. Super bright LED , I believe, to be the brightest on the market! Easy recharge and fast too!

La mejor luz frontal que he tenido. Pros: - Tiene varios modos muy útiles. Tiene 3 niveles de potencia fijos y esos mismos 3 que se adaptan a la luz del entorno. A parte, tiene opciones de emergencia. Normalmente, uso el más débil porque me es más que suficiente, pero cuando estoy descendiendo y voy algo más rápido, le pongo un poco más de potencia dependiendo de la velocidad. - La batería dura bastante. - Es muy fácil de ajustar cada vez que te la pones. En otros modelos que había tenido, más baratos, era un poco rollo. - Si no te pasas apretando, es super cómoda de llevar y no te molesta. La he llevado para correr más de 18km y no me ha molestado. - La luz que emite es bastante 'abierta' y se difumina lo suficiente para alumbrar mucho mejor que otros modelos. Ves lo que tienes delante pero también te da algo de información lateral que va muy bien. Contras: - Para desmontarla y poder limpiar la correa, es un poco rollo. Es complejo. Entiendo que lo hacen para que no te salte mientras corres o si le das algún golpe, pero es demasiado dificultoso y la mayoría de veces la limpio si extraer la luz, con lo que eso puede conllevar que algún día acabe mojando el conector USB-C

Muy buena lámpara, excelente para caminatas, bicicleta, senderismo. etc..

Petzl Nao'dan sonra onun fazlasıyla karmaşık bir yapıya sahip olmasından sonra geçtim. Aydınlatma programları Petzl Nao'da olduğu gibi özelleştirilebilir değil. 3 adaptif, 3 sabit olmak üzere 6 farklı modu var ve tek butondan seçiliyor. Bende ilk nesil Swift RL'de vardı, yeni modelin farkı ışık şiddetinin üst seviyesinin arttırılmış olması ve USB C bağlantı kapısına sahip olması. Gece boyu rahatsız etmeyen, düşmelere karşı dayanıklı çok memnun olduğum bir kafa lambası, adaptif sistem de mükemmel çalışıyor.

Lampada fantastica. Si tratta del modello nuovo con il cavetto tipo C. Luce eccezionale, la funzionalità reactive lighting è molto comoda per il risparmio energetico. Io la uso per andare a pesca usandola alla massima potenza solo quando serve, mi dura tutta la notte. Consigliatissima.
