I've taken the Hope Vision 2 for it's first trip out tonight, the amount of light it puts out is unbelievable! I didn't even bother running with it on the highest setting as the lower ones put out more than enough light.
I'll still use the Myo XP for when it's a clear night and when running in a group, but for the solo runs the Vision 2 is an excellent bit of kit
I used my Vision 4 on Eddie's winter round last weekend. It was more than bright enough on low power for the night navigation. I took 2 small batteries but only got about half way through one. I used medium power a couple of times to look for things but that was about it. Great torch and a great night out! Eddie is officially a legend in my book, that was one huge undertaking.
From recent experience, I can confirm that Father Christmas wears a Petzl Myo XP, a silly hat and a slightly soppy smile.

At the xmas on the fells i was informed about this fantastic debate and just wanted to know whether you did find a really bright head torch yet amex?
I may be being a bit of a prick here but which head torch should i go for?
i have looked at one which is bright but want one brighter, you know the type that really lights up everything
I have often wondered if head torches can light up everything really really well but never bought one.
Hope headlights are the business!
Petzl Myo XP 2008 will suffice.
Silva L1 is very good too for ~£60+
Similar price to the Silva as well, retails around £55. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the LED head torches in this sort of price bracket.Petzl Myo XP 2008 will suffice.
Not That Good - some reliability issues with the cabling and control circuitry - see the other headtorch threads over the last couple of winters.
