SILVA TRAIL RUNNER FREE H £109

In addition to its 400-lumen output courtesy of intelligent twin LED illumination, this headtorch features some clever design features. The power cord from the battery to the lamp is integrated into the headband for comfort and streamlining. The included extension cable allows the battery pack to be removed from the head band and carried in a pocket for greater protection from cold weather. VERDICT Although originally conceived for running, its lightweight, IPX5 water resistance, adaptable illumination and smart design are of huge appeal to hillwalkers.
