Our Story
So, here’s our little story.
We are two friends who love going outdoors—hiking, biking, camping, you name it. We tend to lose track of time more often than not and we kept running into the same fundamental issues:
- When it gets dark outdoors, it can get really, really dark. You need your own light source or you may not be able to return home at all. Serious stuff.
- Flashlights can be cumbersome since you have to give up the use of one of your hands. This is less than ideal especially when you are active and mobile. Not to mention you have to store them somewhere on your self and take them out when needed.
- Traditional headlamps tend to bounce around your head unless you are not moving too much. Even then, sometimes you just can't let go off whatever you have in your hands. Their weight also results in them getting flung off your head due to inertia and momentum.
- When you just got to go spontaneously, if your stocked AA/A batteries have gone bad in your drawers, or you just plain don't have any at hand, tough luck! You are stuck. Rechargeable stuff can be very, very practical in comparison.
- It sucks when you pay $50 or more for a headlamp and it just doesn't have any weather resistance whatsoever. Not to mention all the weight. We also tend to destroy our peripheral equipment quite often so it's nice to be able to replace them at will.
We wanted something better. So we got together and started Veltranite®. Our first offering is the Veltra Omni™ LED Headlamp.
We wanted an ideal portable lighting element that we ourselves would love to use outdoors, one that would remedy all the traditional issues listed above.
We hope you will enjoy what we have, as much as we enjoy it ourselves! We’ve got more cool, useful gear coming your way, make sure to subscribe to our newsletter to tune in on what's coming!
