Vass all the way... they have the better build quality, better material (even if it is thicker), and worth the extra money.
No need for gimmicks and freebies with top quality products.

I'm bored of the sh*te eBay ones... those are the ones that lack reliability!
Mad how we all spend thousands on rods, reels, bivvies, bait etc, yet £40 on a headtorch sounds ridiculous!

Which Ridgemonkey headtorch do you have? Opinions? Pros, cons etc.?

In reply to Post #3
Yeah LedLenser was my go-to, still might go for it...
I will always have a battery pack to keep on top of charge, but the Ridgemonkey also has four power status LEDs.
I don't need mega brightness and fiddly settings, one button works fine for me. (However, the possibility of a beam setting isn't a bad thing)

Hi guys.
I'm in the market for a new headtorch. USB rechargeable would be nice, currently looking at the Ridgemonkey VRH300 as TFT have it on offer for the next few days on eBay (£39.99 with free case)
What would everyone recommend in this rough price bracket?

Cheers!

Casting isn't difficult...casting accurately can be though!

Good lads at Fishtec... they are often cheaper than others too!
I managed to get a Ridgemonkey Bivvy lite Elite IR (RRP £49.99) for £33.80 from them as they sell them at £42.50 and then I got an extra 20% off with a code.

To be honest, I live less than 30 seconds from my local tackle shop, but I see what you're saying.
If I can afford to be waiting for mail order from JR, I can do the same off eBay but with free delivery.

My only issue with them is you have to pay postage on EVERYTHING!
This has put me off buying from them several times as there has always been an option online somewhere that will do post free.
Yes, I understand that they have to pay to post items... but £4 for postage on small items that fit in an envelope is ridiculous!
