Petzl Ultra!
Or perhaps more sensible, the Myo XP.

If it costs less than 80 quid, it's crap!

Go and take a look on Alpkit, their head torch is all inclusive price that gets it to your door, it has LEDs in various colours and a lamp unit that is incredibly bright. there is alos a light on the back for the idiot behind who follows the wearer on a night nav exercise, when he hasn't a clue where he's going!

Re: Which head torch???
I had one of these until I left it on a job, will be getting another one from milletts soon
http://www.totalaccess.co.uk/Shop/Ca...adtorch_E47PBY but it depends what you want from the torch, leds dont give you great distance but are cheap in batteries |

Re: Which head torch???
I want it for when im out with the dog, and for when i stay out in the woods.
Trouble is im used to the light output from surefire and fenix torches now, using cree led's, so i'd like it to whack out a fair bit of light. I'll take a look at them ones though, cheers
