Qark headtorch £35

ALPKIT

A dependable headtorch takes the pressure off finishing a walk before darkness falls. Any walker will feel safe with the Qark in their arsenal – it’s outrageously well specced for the price. On its maximum brightness setting, it produces 580 lumens, which will reach to 150 metres. There are three other settings if you don’t need such power. A dial on the front allows you to adjust the focus of the light, from a narrow spotlight to a wide flood. But perhaps the handiest feature of all is the ability to switch between using a rechargeable battery pack and spare AAA batteries. alpkit.com
