USB-rechargeable designs have limited use for multi-day stints in the field (unless you bring a portable power bank or solar panel), but the Actik Core offers a brilliant solution in the form of a battery pack that can be swapped out for AAA batteries. France-based Petzl has been leading the charge with headlamp innovation for years now and their Actik Core is case in point. In short, this headlamp is the complete package, featuring 450 lumens at maximum brightness, a long battery life with consistent performance across its burn time (some headlamps peter out but the Actik stays bright until the end), a sub-3-ounce weight, and an easy-to-use interface. Many headlamps have followed suit with USB-rechargeable designs, and the Petzl Actik Core is by far our favorite. It’s 2021, and AAA batteries are so last year. What we don’t: Pricey and not super water resistant. What we like: Rechargeable, bright, and lightweight.
