If you’re running long distances in low light or total darkness, you want a headtorch that is light and bright. Petzl’s Nao RL rechargeable headlamp delivers on both fronts. It provides an awesome 1500 lumens of brightness and weighs just 145 grams. Comfortably balanced, the adjustable headband has a front light unit and a red rear light, ensuring runners stay visible from all directions. And thanks to clever reactive lighting technology, beam brightness automatically adapts to the ambient light. This means longer burn times and less fiddling with the settings, allowing you to focus on pushing faster and harder. It’s the ideal headtorch for long trail runs, ultras and mountain racing.

As a brand, Petzl was born in the darkness. Their story began with founder Fernand Petzl’s passion for caving, back in the mid-1930s. Out of that passion, Petzl started to design innovative solutions for ascending, descending, belaying and moving about underground. This included pioneering headlamps and rope safety equipment. But alpinists soon discovered that what worked below the earth also worked above it, and Petzl kit was quickly co-opted by climbers, mountaineers and skiers.
Today, Petzl remains one of the leading technical brands in all these fields, still devoted to one mission: to access the inaccessible. The product range is split into two core categories: lighting – which includes some of the world’s most advanced head torches; and verticality – highly technical equipment designed for those venturing into the world’s loftiest mountain ranges as well as the globe’s deepest, darkest places.
