Advantages: The two light sources make it very versatile and being waterproof is a big plus

Disadvantages: A bit on the heavy side for those sports where every gram of weight counts

I am planning to walk the West Highland Way next year, which stretches from Glasgow to Fort William. It is a total of approximately 90 miles which I hope to do over 6 days. Obviously being well equipped is essential and I bought this head torch in case darkness comes down whilst still out on the hills (hopefully not)! The Duo 5 LED head torch is perfect for all outdoor activities and is water-proof down to 5 metres. It is sturdily constructed and has a dual light source which can adapt the lighting to different needs.

The torch has an adjustable elastic headband making it very comfortable to wear. The on/off switch can be locked to prevent accidental operation and the light body can be tilted to position the light just where you want it. There is even space for a spare halogen bulb to be stored in the housing of the head torch.

It is grey/yellow in colour with a black band. A spare halogen bulb is included and the torch operates on 4 AA / LR6 batteries (included) or with the ACCU Duo E65100 2 (optional). The latter is a rechargeable battery pack which I opted for as it is handy as a backup. The weight, including the batteries, is 300g.

There are various accessories you can purchase separately -

Battery charger
Rechargeable battery pack
Car charger
Helmet clips which stops the headbands slipping off when used with a hard hat or climbing helmet

The torch comes with a 3 year guarantee.

Summary: This head torch is a very sturdy piece of kit and it is a perfect choice for all round performance.

Good luck with the walk.....we do have long bright nights up here in the summer so hopefully you will not need it, but will be safely in some pub by the time darkness falls! Caroline xx
