    This product is for…

    Runners and ultramarathon racers who want a minimal, lightweight headlamp for early/late runs or as a backup. It suits anyone who wants something small enough to pocket or pair with a waist belt setup.

    Worth noting…

    Described as an updated successor to the Petzl Bindi, and noted as a good complement to waist belt lighting setups for climbs. Notes are uniformly positive with no criticism or caveats raised.
