LED headtorches offer serious advantages for hill walkers

By Kenny Stocker

Dive into our review of Alpkit's game-changing head torch. From its impressive 100 Lumens to an array of specialized LEDs, discover why this tool is a must-have for campers and nighttime adventurers alike

Neil Braidwoods Manta head torch review for Scotland Outdoors paints a vivid picture of the inconvenience of older, traditional torches, highlighting his uncomfortable and inefficient experience of using an old Maglite during camping.

In stark contrast, he hails our multi-function head torch as a brilliant solution to nighttime visibility challenges. Pushing out an impressive 100 Lumens from a single LED, this torch provides ample light to comfortably read in total darkness.

When I started camping, I’d struggle after dark with my old Maglite gritted between my teeth – not comfortable! The guys at Alpkit have created a brilliant little multi-function head torch.

Neil likes the user-friendly features: a dimmable setting, adjustable beam width, and a lever that allows the user to control the direction of the light. Particularly beneficial for night walkers, the torch can be angled to illuminate just the right spot in front of the user.

The green LED facilitates nighttime map reading; the double red ensures safe group walking without causing discomfort to others, while also possessing the capability to flash an SOS signal in emergencies. The inclusion of a blue light, which outlasts the main beam in terms of battery life, is thoughtfully noted as a potential nightlight during family camping trips. Built to withstand light showers and equipped with three AAA batteries, this head torch is portrayed as a versatile, must-have accessory for campers and could serve efficiently as an emergency cycle light.
