This dinky little head torch is made from recycled plastics, boasting a very respectable 450 lumens of output and Silva’s Intelligent Light system (a long-reach spotlight combined with a close flood beam). Three brightness levels take you from full power (90-metre beam, 3 hours) down to a 10-lumen super-low mode that’ll last 90 hours – so with a bit of tactical use you’ve got loads of juice for camping trips and other adventures. The detachable lamp unit can be attached to other equipment when you don’t need the headband, there’s a red light mode for night vision, and a useful battery indicator ought to stop you ending up marooned in the dark.

It's a bit of a cliché to say, 'this brand needs no introduction…', but sometimes it really doesn't. If you ever did scouts, guides or cadets, got epic blisters on a D of E expedition or went on an outward bounds residential, chances are you did it with a Silva compass in the pocket of your boil-in-the-bag cagoule.
Like so many world-changing inventions, the Silva compass began as a problem that needed solving. Back in the day, your standard compass wobbled all over the shop, making it tricky and time-consuming to get a decent reading. That is, until 1933, when four Swedes invented a liquid-filled compass. The resistance from the fluid slowed and stabilised the needle, meaning you could nail a reliable bearing in seconds. Navigation was never the same again.
But iconic as the compasses are, they're only one part of the Silva story. They were one of the first companies to make reliable electric head torches for the outdoors, and they've also branched out into optics, trekking kit and other navigational gear. Tried and tested for the better part of a century, Silva's precision instruments have literally been the difference between life and death for generations of outdoor adventurers – and as brand pedigree goes, that's pretty much impossible to beat.
