We choose Fenix headlamps because they’re reliable. They have some great features of course, but hands down the most important feature is that your headlamp keeps going when you need it! We’ve all been using the same Fenix headlamps we started with 3 years ago and still going strong. How long did your last headlamp last?
The rechargeable Fenix headlamps have fantastic battery life so even if you can’t take a powerbank with you, they’ve still got plenty of hours of life in them. The HL16 takes AAA batteries and makes for a cheap back up torch. They all have a great ‘Lock-Out’ feature so you won’t open your pack when the sun goes down and find it’s been on all day and now has a low battery! And you won’t be in the market for a new torch by Christmas or this time next year, they have a 5 year repair warranty.
It can be confusing finding the right headlamp for your outdoor adventures. So we’ve handpicked the best Fenix torches for you and broken down some of the main features to help you choose.
