Second the Nitecore NU25, great lightweight rechargeable head torch, easy to use functions

Used a fenix hl50 for years and its the best head torch ive used and ive had most of them. Super compact and as bright as you could ever want. You can use it as a normal torch as well as it unclips from its holder. Im yet to find anything better.
Nitecore NU25 best of the best IMHO

Petzl Zipka (not Tikka) but I must be on my own as everytime I mention them no one ever agree with me!

I've had the older version of this for years, has the flip down red lense. Pretty bomb proof. The switch was starting to get a little temperamental, hence the change to the Nitecore last year, but it's still in my bag as back up

I think Petzl were the go to headtorches for years definitely at the time about the best
but now things have moved on been some great improvements everyone that knows me knows I am/was addicted to buying head torches lol had most on the market at one time or another incl
Snap-On, 3 different model Petzl, Fennex, couple of LedLensers,3 different Energiser`s 2 models of Coleman loads of Ebay Chinese ones just a few that spring to mind probably fill a baitbucket
Every one thinks the headtorch they use is the best I did too
until Keebs put me onto the Nitecore NU25
Now I KNOW its the best

The reason I remain faithful to my Zipka is the elastic. I wear it like a watch so it's always to hand when I need it
I had one of those LED lenser things with the battery pack strapped to the back of your head. Never used it so it went on ebay.

I'd go with the Ridgemonkey too. Great torch. On the head any way you like in the middle of the night and there's an on/off switch. I know it's expensive but it works for me.

Petzel Tikka, if they still make them, had mine for years, battery life is brilliant, not carp crap, proper job

Cheap Chinese efforts. It doesn't matter if you drop them in the lake, tread on them or throw them in temper.
I once imported a thousand and sold them on ebay. The robbing swines at Southampton docks helped themselves to quite a few before I took delivery.
