Head Torches

A head torch keeps your hands free when the light drops, whether you are finishing a hike in the dark, setting up camp, or getting off the water after last light. The right one comes down to how you will use it.

For hiking and general outdoor use, look for a comfortable strap, a mix of flood and spot beam, and a red-light mode that protects your night vision and saves charge. Camping adds a premium on long run time and an easy tilt to angle the beam onto a task. For running and other fast-moving activity, a lightweight torch with a steady, wide beam and a strap that stays put matters most. For paddling and time near water, water resistance and a secure fit come first, along with that red mode for checking a chart or route card without killing your night vision.

Rechargeable models cut cost and waste over time and are quick to top up before a trip. Some also take disposable batteries as a backup, which suits longer trips where charging is not an option. Compare brightness in lumens, beam distance, run time on each setting and weight to match the torch to the job.
