The Lenser H7, Petzl Myo, Petzl Ultra, and Alpkit Gamma all seem to get good reviews but with quite a wide range of specs and prices. Does the forum have any recommendations for good quality head torches for night running?
I run with a Myo XP (2004/5 model) and it's never let me down. It's got a really good focussed beam - good for about 70 metres - and a diffuser for less open environments. Battery life is good and it has a bettey condition monitor that gives plenty of warning for battery changes. I've used it for night-time fell races in forested areas and local running in woodland and open fields when it can be difficult to stay on course for the next stile / gate. I've also used it strapped to my helmet for mountain biking to supplement the light attached to my bars but have moved on to some Silva lights for that now.
