About the Product

Compact, powerful and rechargeable headlamp with REACTIVE LIGHTING technology for technical, dynamic activities. With REACTIVE LIGHTING technology, the brightness of the NAO headlamp adapts instantly and automatically to the environment.

With 750 lumens of power, NAO + sets the standard for challenging night activities! It is intelligent, programmable, and entirely devoted to performance. Thanks to the MyPetzl Light mobile app, athletes can consult their smartphone or tablet in real time to check remaining burn time, and adjust headlamp performance accordingly.

What customers say about "Key Specs"

Petzl NAO 575 Lumens

I've been using this for nite cycling and it's as bright and visible as car headlights.
The light is well balanced and stays on even without the third overhead strap. Even with me jumping over rocks.
The Reactive lighting can be turned off and the light set to constant (at a desired strength) if fogging is an issue.
Fantastic light. Extremely expensive. The light sensor adjusts well to needed light based on settings

Petzl NAO+ Headlamp, 750 Lumens, Bluetooth Enabled

It's the perfect headlamp for night climbing. One of my favorite features on this headlamp is the rechargeable battery.
This headlamp can get very bright! The reactive lighting feature works well and saves eye strain when moving from bare ground to snow to campfire.
There are many brightness settings that can be adjusted with and without the app. The light is well crafted.
Reactive lighting is tricky but useful and you do get used to it.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Petzl NAO 575 Lumens

It is a smart headlamp that is equally at home on your head or helmet
Every other headlamp I've used bounces around while I'm running but this one is comfortable and never feels like it's slipping.
Fit on every helmet we tried.
The unit is light, and very comfortable; after a while you almost forget that you're wearing it.
The bulky design is heavy, the bizarre strapping system won't work on all types of helmets (bike helmets are totally out - or really any helmet that doesn't have a flat you put the torch straps under).

Petzl NAO+ Headlamp, 750 Lumens, Bluetooth Enabled

Easily the highest performing headlamp I've ever used.
Despite the bulky appearance the headlamp is very comfortable.
From backcountry skiing at night to working on the truck in the garage it does it all.
Headband can get tangled up every now and then, but it is very flexible and works well to secure to head. Pivot assembly for light is solid and can be adjusted from low to high angle easily.
The battery back in the back was just too heavy for the purpose I needed it for (running).

What customers say about "Features"

Petzl NAO 575 Lumens

The USB recharge is a great feature, and so is the Reactive lighting.
The adaptive lighting works well and is uber-useful. the programmable aspect is great too.
Wow this is a one of the best headlamps I used in my 40 plus years of outdoor adventures.
I purchased this for trail running in the foothills behind my house. I was surprised at how wide the beam was allowing me not only to see the trail but the landscape all around.
A slick feature is the ability to replace the rechargeable battery with two AAA cells if your rechargeable battery is discharged

Petzl NAO+ Headlamp, 750 Lumens, Bluetooth Enabled

This thing can really pump out the lumens. The ability to adjust and control through your phone makes you feel like a tech whiz even in the backcountry.
Great headlamp. I love the on/off/brightness knob. Easy to charge via usb and lasts a decent amount of time.
Perfect! Love the battery counterbalance on the back. My favorite headlamp by a country mile.
Excellent fit and finish, amazingly bright, and the light source envied by all my buddies during our camping trip.
Charging is easy and fast. It holds a charge.
Very average head lamp. The price should be less than half of what is now.
