Head Torch for running

Kido

Now the nights are drawing in and I'm running through woodlands and along canal paths I need a torch and was thinking of getting a head torch so I don't need to carry it. Can anyone recommend one. There seem to be so many out there at various prices.

Alpkit. No contest.

They're only available online only as far as I know, but only cost about £15 and are at least as bright as the much more expensive ones. Mine got thoroughly tested at this year's Thunder Run and it coped with the all-night racing on woodland trails in torrential rain just fine. Ended up sharing it with the rest of the team because some of theirs weren't bright enough.

The lads use Petzl headtorches (default Christmas present on becoming Cub Scouts) - the Go Outdoors membership paid off well!
