I need a new headtorch. It will be used for routefinding on rock/winter/alpine climbs. I used to have the Petzl Myo XP with the focusing lens that flips down. Looking back, it was the best feature on a headtorch I've ever come across and I used it all the time.
Can anyone recommend a new headtorch (not Petzl) that has a similar focusing thing? So far I've found the Coast HL7 (and others in their range) that meet that need, but don't have the best battery life. I don't mind if the battery pack is at the front or back of the harness. Does anyone know of anything else that would be worth a look?
I've tried the BD Storm/Spot and found them over complicated. I literally want on/off and a couple of brightness options, no touch sensitive panels etc. Am I too picky in this modern age!? The Coast HL27 is top of my list, followed by the HL8. I would like a longer list...
Requirements:
Ability to focus the light
Waterproof/showerproof
250/300+ lumens
Not have anything fancy like an app for your phone
No 'reactive lighting'
Similar weight to the Myo XP, not silly heavy
Ideally runs on AA batteries. AAA would be ok but not ideal
Ability to take rechargeable or alkaline batteries
Thanks in advance.
