An island for hiking in every season

How to wash on a trek?
A bath is impossible, and even a lukewarm shower is out of reach, yet after a day's trekking you could really use a wash… A trickle of water or an icy torrent: options are generally limited. Then evening comes, the sun disappears and a cool breeze reminds you of your altitude.
Rest assured: RayonRando helps you overcome your mild apprehension and stay clean by taking the drama out of this “sensitive” subject in a few points:
- Why wash on a trek?
- Where can you wash when wild camping?
- Which parts of the body should you prioritise?
- Which products and accessories should you use for washing?
The 5 best Petzl head torches
Whenever outdoor lighting comes up, the same expression returns: “Have you brought your Petzl for tonight?” Like Thermos for insulated bottles, Petzl has become synonymous with head torches. But more than that: Petzl also means reliability and durability, something we at RayonRando have verified over 17 years.
This French company pioneered 2 areas: vertical activities, with numerous crampons, ice axes and accessories, and outdoor lighting, with a wide range of head torches sold worldwide.
Whether you enjoy hiking, trail running or cycle touring, or are particularly exposed to bad weather during your activities, there is a Petzl head torch to suit your needs.
