LordWotsit Jan 2017 11:28am, 8 Jan 2017 1,042 posts	0 LordWotsit I have done a search for this but there doesn't seem to be any recent discussions. I am in need of a head torch and would like any recommendation please. I would be using it off road and in country lanes so need a decent brightness. Thanks in advance

FerryMichael Jan 2017 12:22pm, 8 Jan 2017 4 posts	0 FerryMichael I've just got my second torch from alpkit alpkit.com - highly recommend - have been using Alpkit since https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJZC74H3G90 in 2012 for night time hill running. The Viper also has a pair of red LEDs which are helpful in keeping night vision when out on the hills
