Autumn Gear

New essentials for your tackle box (as they used to say)

You may not use a torch like the Streamlight Macrostream every day, but you’ll be glad it’s close-to-hand now the days are getting shorter and you might be packing away in less light.

In 500-lumen 'high' mode the Macrostream has a 90m beam and runs for two hours, while Low mode, which offers 50 lumens and projects a 30m beam, has a run time of eight hours, and the battery can be charged in only four hours. It's tough, too.

From around £69 online. Visit www.streamlight.com for more details.
