In pursuance of scientific inquiry a head torch analysis was undertaken this evening at a "take no prisoners" timed training run held in complete darkness over fell terrain at a secret location near Lothersdale.
Hope 65%
Petzl 12%
Some cheap Chinese thing from Aldi 12%
Others 11%
Illustrating that where there is Hope there is light.

Like it.
Luke Appleyard (Wharfedale)- quick on the dissent
I'm surprised Inov-8 haven't entered the head torch market. Mud-Glo 190 anyone?

I always liked the name "MyTinySun" as a headtorch. Slightly on the expensive side though for a tight-wad like me.
Well I've had my Hope for over 7 years and it has never let me down in any way - all for the price of a (decent) bottle of wine a year.

I've owned and used a Hope V2 for nigh-on 6 years, running and cycling. Just one small problem 12 months ago when the lead on the battery displayed symptoms of discontinuity. Hope fitted a new battery lead, gratis ..... customer service beyond compare.
However Graham, one small flaw in your 'test'; the location was within 5 miles or so of the Hope factory .... one would expect a preponderance of their product in that locale - how many of the participants were Hope employees?

I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!
Valid point Ian but none ran who I know work for Hope.However Graham, one small flaw in your 'test'; the location was within 5 miles or so of the Hope factory .... one would expect a preponderance of their product in that locale - how many of the participants were Hope employees
Ian.
However next time we'll add a supplementary question: "And did you pay for it?"
