Petzl Swift RL Classic 1200 Headlamp
The Petzl SWIFT RL CLASSIC is built for high-output performance in demanding mountain environments. Delivering an impressive 1200 lumens at just 95 g, this headlamp strikes an exceptional balance of power, weight, and efficiency—ideal for ski touring, mountaineering, and long days that stretch well past sunset.
At the core is Petzl’s REACTIVE LIGHTING® technology, which automatically adjusts brightness and beam pattern based on ambient light. The result? Optimized battery life, reduced manual input, and consistent visibility when moving through variable terrain.
The updated CLASSIC headband features a split design that stays secure and comfortable during dynamic movement, whether you're skinning, boot-packing, or transitioning in the dark. A mixed beam pattern provides both proximity lighting and long-range visibility (up to 168 m), while a quick-access BOOST mode delivers maximum output when you need to quickly assess terrain.
Designed for real-world mountain use, the SWIFT RL CLASSIC performs reliably in cold conditions, retains strong battery performance, and includes thoughtful features like red lighting modes, a lock function for transport, and USB-C recharging.
