- As the nights grow longer we review the Petzl Iko Core and Swift RL to light up a bouldering session. Petzl have always been at the forefront of innovating headtorches, and today we have two to try out. The Petzl Swift RL and Iko Core are two very different head torches...but both have a huge amount of POWER.

From Darkness To Light: Petzl Headtorch REVIEW | Climbing Daily Ep.1755 - Sport
I love climbing at night time you get so focused on just the climb !!!
It’s horrible because you can’t see footholds properly, no matter how good your lights are. You also need really good lights to see the bolts and top of a 35m route.
@@Mike-oz4cv everyone has their own preference , personally i see just fine whether its bouldering , sport climbing or trad
Thank you for both being informative and fun. I enjoyed and not bored at all
I love how when mat talks about the max power he thinks it’s 2 hours to thirty where as it’s only 2:00 - 2:30 hours of time
What was the size of the helmet? I tried it with Meteor 3 and Scirocco both size L and the Iko doesn't fit.
I have the swift for a couple months now and i have to add to matt: If you switch from reactiv lightning to "normal" lightning, the beam also narrows down (good for fast activities like downhill biking/ skiing). The reactiv is fast enough for running, so you don't have to switch there. Also it stays pretty much in it's position even while running. (only downside in my opinion is that it's missing a red light; so for camping etc. i do have the petzl e+Lite as an emergency/camping light)
The missing red light is really annoying. This is clearly a mountain headlamp. And red light is not only useful at camp site but also to read a map without burning our retina.. I was going to buy that lamp but I'll try to find another model :/
i use the IKO CORE for running, because it don't wobble on your head. and it holds on an beanie or such things while running
Are you in the Medonnet, in Haute Savoie ?
I really need one that has a red light setting. When camping, that red light at night makes a huge difference when trying to see something quickly at the campsite. Then it doesn't destroy your vision when you turn it off. Just an opinion. Great review!
Definitely agree !!! I just got a energizer headlamp with red , green and blue setting the green is my go to setting when hiking it lights up just enough without blinding other hikers
I'd be really surprised if these two head torches didn't have a red light function. I've got the Petzl Actik which is a lot cheaper than these and it has a red light function
@@lyntonwp I just looked at petzls website, and the IKO Core, the one she had, only has white and runs for $89.95. Matt's, the Petzl Swift RL is $119.95 and also only has white lights. I don't know about you all, but having the red is super important to me, and this seems like a waste for only white lighting. I am sure the R&D that went into this has a large targeted market though.
Edit - the Swift does NOT have a redlight option... sorry for the wrong info everybody.
@@rampel1 well that is good! I wonder why they don't advertise that. Or maybe I missed it? IDK...
😍😍😍Teresa 😍😍😍
hahah Teresa in "Stephen Hawking" mode saying "triple A batteries" at 2:57
Bless her 😂
something you didn't touch on was packability, don't think it will hold up well when stuffed into a bag
such a cool vid 🥺💘
Was she laughing or crying?!
A bit of both we think, we’re not entirely sure 😂😫
@@dailyclimbing maybe making your presenters cry on a highball might be construed as an unsafe working environment! 😉😆
@@tobyarcher7623 crying 😅 and i would define it as a challenging work environment 💪
*headlamp 😅
Crap lights
What’s your go to light then MJ? 🤨
Wow that’s a useful comment
