This has everything you need and more, with one floodlight and one spot, both with four power settings and easily operated via glovefriendly buttons. You can’t turn the buttons on accidentally either, as when the lamp is tipped up to its highest position the buttons are covered,

but when tilted slightly in normal use they are exposed. The huge power output is provided by a rechargeable battery pack at the back of the head. It is recharged by a micro USB plug but you can fit CR123A batteries, although these are not as readily available as standard AAA or AAs. This headtorch offers more power than required for general walking, and others are lighter or lower in price, but for hard users this is a stunning option if you need extra durability and power.

PROS Ease of use, robust construction, decent burn times and massive maximum output

BUY IT IF YOU Want a headtorch for more than just walking, or just like loads of light and don’t view the weight or price as a drawback

CONS Price, weight, more power and performance than most hillwalkers will really need
