FIND THE RIGHT HEADLAMP FOR YOU

Even though our headlamps may look similar, they are designed for different needs. Dog walking, outdoor adventures, trail running and downhill riding all place different demands on brightness, weight, burn time and durability. Here, we’ll guide you through our headlamp series to help you find the right one.

FREE SERIES

Free is our modular headlamp series for those who need more light during activities where speed, distance and terrain place greater demands. The series ranges from the ultralight Free Runner 1100 for running to Free Action 3400 for activities such as ski touring, downhill riding and night orienteering.

The modular system lets you switch the lamp unit, battery and mount, adapting the same headlamp system for running, cross-country skiing, cycling or ski touring. Free also features Speed Mode for a temporary light boost in technical terrain, as well as batteries with a built-in power bank function.

Best for: running, trail running, roller skiing, cross-country skiing, cycling, ski touring and other high-tempo activities.

Brightness: 1100–3400 lumens.
