Gear guide

Headlamps and flashlights

Light that leaves your hands free.

Look for

A headlamp with a low setting and a red light
Uses the same batteries as your other gear, or is rechargeable
Water resistance

Avoid

Relying on your phone light - save the battery for calls and texts
Tip
Store batteries outside the light so they do not drain or leak.
