From memory it was expensive but you can see how frail it is where it’s come apart. Doesn’t look like much more than glue keeping it together.

Luckily I'd registered it for the extended warranty so have just received a brand spanking NEO9R as a warranty replacement. Only took 9 days after my first enquiry email and 2 days after they recieved my deffective one! Can't fault their customer service.
hellen Nov 2024 10:11pm, 2 Nov 2024 15,101 posts	Quote Pin hellen Time to resurrect this thread! I used to run a lot at night and have had a variety of head torches. I haven’t run at night for a few years and am starting again. I got really annoyed by my head torch today. It kept falling down even though I had it quite tight and was wearing a buff. I was using my alpkit one which TBH I’m not sure if I have worn it much as I bought it just before COVID then ended up not using it. Any tips on getting the headtorch comfy? I never used to have a problem but feel such an amateur!
StuH 28 Jan 5:13pm, 28 Jan 2025 5,090 posts	Quote Pin StuH @Snoot how have you found the NEO9R? I've been offered one as a replacement for my deceased H7.2R. Pleasantly surprised as it looks a step up. I understand the power pack contains two 18650 cells, are they swappable?
Fenners-Reborn 28 Jan 5:52pm, 28 Jan 2025 1,722 posts	Quote Pin Fenners-Reborn I've still got two functioning rechargeable Petzl Reactik. They are very aged now. After falling head over heels during the Lakeland 50 in 2011 while wearing a cheap head torch, the investment in a 'proper' head torch was very worthwhile.
