Make that four, I got the rechargeable one and was so impressed Ive ordered the non rechangeable also to see if its a bit more comfortable not having to wear the battery pack on the back of the head.

Best headtorch I've ever owned though thats for sure. Just hope it has a good lifetime.

Cheers

Better make it five, I got mine on Jon's recommendation,I have been that pleased with it that I bought another one as back up.

Haven't used it on the bank yet Tony but first impressions of the brightness and wide to narrow beam options are great. The good thing is the headtorch only takes 1 battery but you get 2 with it and the charger so you can always keep one fully charged ready in your tacklebox, that's what I did like about it.

Cheers

I got to use mine this weekend and bugger me its spot on, going to get myself another on order:):)
 
I've joined the club as it'll be handy for cycling back to the car. However, two things have occurred to me: aren't you all going to mess up your night vision if the torches are so bright and isn't there a danger of spooking the fish?
 
Received my two today,

They really are super bright and the pull/push zoom magnification seems great,although I'm not so sure what I will be using the strobe light/flashing mode for :D
 
Mark, pretend your a robot at the next disco. :D

Mine arrive 6 days after ordering. :)

Got a feeling these are going to be the headtorch equivalent of the Marco
Cortesi centrepins. GET ONE NOW BEFORE THEY RUN OUT. ;)
 
I ordered one a few days ago as a backup to my Alpkit.

I really like the Alpkit, but the battery life isn't that great i've noticed over the season. I fish alot at night which would probably explain why i'm needing to replace my batteries every couple of weeks. I've purchased rechargable batteries now. However I would expect the battery life (duracell) to last at least a month. My old Energiser lasted half a season.

Anyone else noticed this with the Alpkit?
