Don’t Let Rain or Snow Stop You

All Petzl headlamps are resistant to weather, such as rain or snow, as well as damp environments (IPX4 rating).



For other specific activities like caving, we make headlamps that are dustproof and can be immersed in fresh water (IP67).

Increase Versatility With Accessories

We offer a large range of accessories to help diversify ways you can use your headlamp: mounting plates to install the headlamp on a variety of helmet types or on a bike, extension cords to carry the rechargeable battery separately, and even cases that transform the lamp into a lantern.

Compare Lighting Performance

Petzl has chosen to comply with the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) protocol to measure and demonstrate the lighting performance and burn times of our headlamps. This voluntary move allows users to easily compare the lighting performance and water resistance of different headlamp models using standardized criteria.
