Win A New Petzl REACTIK+ Headtorch

For more than 30 years Petzl has led the way in as an innovator in the research, design and manufacture of quality headtorches. From humble beginnings, when Fernand Petzl fashioned the first helmet-mounted light for caving, headtorches were refined over time, until he created the 'Zoom' model, which, with its rotating bezel as a switch and focus adjuster, became a seminal outdoor product well into the 21st century.

Petzl now provides a comprehensive range of hands-free lighting for many outdoor activities including alpinism, fishing, night-running and canyoning. Petzl's reactive lighting technology has revolutionised the way we use headlamps in outdoor sport, providing balance between a lengthy burn time and high power output. Beyond power, Intelligence!

Petzl are now pleased to introduce the next step in providing an easy way to adjust burn time and lighting power on the fly, the new REACTIK +, a smart, connected and rechargeable Petzl headlamp with Bluetooth® and Reactive Lighting Technology. Through the MyPetzl Light smartphone app you can monitor battery life in real time, choose a specific lighting profile for your activity, and control the brightness of your REACTIK + on the fly. Use Reactive Lighting and Bluetooth technology to optimize burn times.

For a limited time only Mountain Equipment, in partnership with Hot Aches Productions, bring you their latest feature film: Transition.

Follow Natalie Berry as she takes her exceptional climbing ability outdoors on a mission to get to grips with trad, winter climbing and mountaineering. It’s not a simple transition, as you can imagine, with plenty of ‘moments’ where Natalie has to dig deep for inspiration, commitment and ability.

Acting as her mentor throughout is Dave MacLeod, one of the UK's most accomplished all-round climbers, although not all of his input is quite what you might expect. Transition provides a fascinating, exciting and entertaining insight into one person’s journey, shot in some of the UK’s most amazing locations. This is your exclusive chance to watch the full length film for free at http://www.mountain-equipment.co.uk/transition
