what is the best head torch?
How much better is the £50 ridgemonkey than the £35 one?

I wouldnt have a ridgemonkey for a gift personally

I think the best is a Nitecore nu25

the nitecore is a game changer

no more worrying about batts, will it go flat in the night, remembering spares

mine has never gone flat on me but if i was on a long session i'd just charge it off the powerpack

probs the best development for night fishing in decades

I think it might have a low power warning, not that i've ever needed it

I wouldn't quite put it above meeting the wife or having either of our kids on my list of life highlights, but the NU25 is the best headtorch I've used, and over the last 35 years, I've probably had six*.

*or five

Plastic casing where the strap goes round broke on my £35 one very fragile unfortunately I've had it a while so probably not covered by warranty so I've made good of it.Battery life good light settings are good but if I was buying again wouldn't buy one

. . .LED Lenser HR 7.2 . . .

Not as many lumens but a really decent throw and you can adjust the width of beam . . .scare coots in the margins opposite 100 plus yards away!

Only prob with Lensers is the battery pack at the back - not comfy if you nod off with it on your head . . .on this basis like the look of the nu25!
