I bought this to replace a similar model that I had lost. The previous item was from another supplier and I had to buy the "Core" battery unit separately. I was pleased that the battery unit was included here, and that Alpine Trek were cheaper than the other supplier.
This feels more plasticky than the earlier item, but it has an additional selection for the red light which might be useful.
I was disappointed that Alpine Trek used such an enormous box to put the light in - it didn't fit through my letterbox so had to be taken in by a neighbour. The Petzl box was damaged probably because it shook around so much in the enormous outer box which had no padding, but the actual light inside arrived undamaged.

My first petzl headtorch went until I lost it. 3x cheap rechargeable headtorches broken later, time to just buy a petzl again!
Well worth the expense. Long lasting last time, fingers crossed this time (with warranty anyway - win win).
Petzl Actik Core is lightweight, easy to use, bright (we used it for a car Headlight to test and yes, we could see where we were going) and it gives all of the good things you expect from a quality brand. I love how easily it can be pointed upwards aswell. This makes the torch useful for working in tight spaces and for riding a bike with my head down.
It's so good I'm back here now buying a second for my husband.
Petzl for life
