My current main head torch which I use for long races is the MH10 and so I wanted to compare it to the new NEO10R. I stopped multiple times and eventually and incrementally tightened enough over the course of the downhill that I had a headache by the end, yet the battery still bounced. The NEO10R is a top performer of the NEO series and perfect for all runners, the head torch is focusable, and has a swivel-head to light up any path you head down.

They are robust with water-resistant housing and can be used to charge mobile phones and other accessories. As John noted above, it is simply too much to wear on the head, so after trying one time, I have converted over to keeping the battery in a pocket, which is far more reasonable. The highlight of the NEO10R headtorch is the focusable beam, which allows you to refine the breadth and reach distance of the unit's output.

With the increase of mental and physical fatigue at the end of a long running unit, it will be able to recognise the important unevenness of the surface early and clear to prevent bending, tripping and slipping.

A brimmed hat like the Tilley TWS1 Paddler's Hat is unquestionably the best protection you can deploy for your face and neck—offering certified UPF50+ sun protection, glare protection, and temperature regulation.My next race is the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc (UTMB) where I start at 6pm and run through the night (hopefully just one night but you never know! Jeff V: Same as John, I only use the brightest setting, given 240 lumens is still on the low end, but the button is easy to operate. The softer white hue of the light effectively brightens up obstacles without harshly outshining them. In this case, you are also responsible for the risk of loss or damage, therefore we recommed a postal insurance to cover the value.

It has survived numerous knocks, drops and downpours during testing, and continues to function perfectly.Jacob has run several marathons and shorter (≤ 50km) ultras and mountain races in the past two seasons, with a PR of 2:51 in the marathon. Without a battery box on the back of your head or an additional cable on the headband, you will be more comfortable and move more freely.
