Petzl 2017 Headtorches

Petzl has been making head torches since the 1970s, when the company’s founder Fernand Petzl started making specialized lighting, which helped to revolutionise his particular passions: caving and mountaineering. Because their kit is taken to the very edge of human endeavour, it has to stand up to the worst conditions mountains or subterranean caves can throw at them. So, although it’s a huge adventure for us, carp fishing is a walk in the park for Petzl. Here’s a rundown of their head torch range…

Tactikka 200

Petzl actually designed this torch for fishing, with stealth very much in mind. It’s got great proximity lighting and focused lighting options, with white and red beams for subtlety when needed.
“GIMME”: £27.99

Tikkina 150

A simple headtorch that fires out a nice, wide beam that’s perfect for proximity work, like inside the bivvy for instance. It’s small, compact and smart.
“GIMME”: £19.99

Reactik+ 300

This headtorch is so advanced it’s mad! You can monitor its vital signs and even adapt its performance to suit different activities on your smartphone, thanks to the MyPetzl Light app.
“GIMME”: £64.99

Tactikka +RGB

Like the Tactikka, but a bit more powerful and with blue and green light options, as well as the more usual red and white. Of course, the red and green options are much more stealthy than the white, should you need it! Compatible with the Petzl Core rechargeable battery.
“GIMME”: £27.99

Tikka 200

A great all-round torch that’s been a favourite for carpers for years now. It has both white and more subtle red beams and can be used with Petzl’s Core rechargeable batteries.
“GIMME”: £30.00

Reactik 220

A cutting-edge head torch that’s rechargeable and actually reacts to the ambient light to adjust the intensity. The best thing about this cool functionality? It saves battery for you!
“GIMME”: £49.99
