Shining a headlamp while cooking dinner at the campsite, reading a book in the tent or returning from a challenging trek when it suddenly gets dark is a must-have for any outdoor enthusiast. A headlamp, or rather a head torch, is an essential piece of equipment that should not be missing from any outdoor kit. If you're lost in the wide range of headlamps, don't worry - as with all outdoor equipment, it's most important to be clear about what you expect from a headlamp and what specific sporting activity you plan to use it for before you buy it.
