The new IKO Core headlamp from Petzl is an excitingly fresh option to light the way once the sun has gone down and you still want to run. It sports 500 lumens of brilliant glow, a really lightweight body and an interesting new suspension system that cradles the skull. The IKO Core has upgraded my night-time lighting options and it's a joy to run with. There's a couple of small issues, and it'll be interesting to how durable it over a couple of seasons but if my first 100-miles is anything to go by I'm sure it's going to be a torch to remember.

I might have to try one of these. I like the idea of the distributed weight

The more I wear it, the more I appreciate it - on and comfortably fitted within seconds and then you forget about it for the rest of your workout. I’d be interest to try the Nao as a comparison, but as an everyday headlamp it’s ace. Thanks for the sub too Kofuzi 🙏

I’ve had too many head torches to mention, but after plenty of research I purchased this one. WOW! What an incredible purchase, I have often finished my run and forgotten I’ve still got it on my head. I thoroughly recommend this head torch.

I know what you mean Chris! Normally, it’d be the first thing off of my head as they get pretty uncomfortable after an hour or so. Not any more - great lightweight design by Petzl on this one 😊

Great review Lee! Loved all the details and hearing your experience with it. Cool to hear that in a pinch AAAs can work with the light. Would have liked to see some 3rd person shots of you running with the light on your head (in daylight of course), just to see the fit and how it stays on your head during a run.

Thanks Sage - I appreciate the feedback 👍 I had some issues with the footage I shot in the early evening, too grainy to be of any use; perhaps I should have taken the footage in daytime as suggested. Hope you’re well!

Great review, but I'm more interested in the lamp on the shelf behind you, that's awsome 👍

It’s a treasured birthday present from my wife 😊 She’s a keeper!

I bought one for 65$, for that price it's definitely a no-brainer. The fit is amazing, as you've pointed out in the video the only downside is the battery life which is a bit annoying (having to charge your headlamp every couple of runs might get old).

I got into the habit of putting it on charge after pretty much every run - nothing kills a good workout more than losing your light and having to carefully plod home. 🤞 battery tech improves for IKO 2

Any Petzl IKO core fans out there? What’s your go to headlamp for nighttime training? Interested to hear from anyone who uses a Petzl Nao in how these two torches compare 👍
