PETZL SWIFT RL HEAD TORCH

£96.99, ellis-brigham.com

It’s not unusual for ultrarunners to have to complete some miles in the dark, whether that’s during a race or on a training run. So, it pays to invest in a good headtorch – and this option weighs a lightweight 100g that makes it easy to carry. You can expect a 900-lumen brightness and Reactive Lighting, which automatically adjusts brightness and beam pattern to your needs.
