[@jamiehayes8992]

have been using an fenix headlamp for years for night fishing,cant fault them,well worth the money

[@soletrail]

100% worth the price. Build quality is brilliant.

[@bdmenne]

So do you have one with brighter red settings? 5 lumens seems a bit dim. Just for tying your shoes and reading a book. I want red for a jog at night.

Flippin heck Martin, what was that thing you on your head at 0:59! You looked like an alien from a bad Doctor Who episode in the sixties😂 Ah, those clicks, thought I was watching a Volkswagen advert! Impressive torch man, might have to upgrade! Btw, does it have a waterproofness IP? Looking forward to seeing your Fenix in action this weekend! See ya later!

[@soletrail]

Well Gary. I don't know what that head torch is called. I'll check for you. The Fenix is IP66 rated.

Another great video Martin. I'm not trying to be nasty or even a sting in the tail but I'd consider myself a fairly experienced outdoors person. I'd never consider walking off aer mountain at nite unless my tent ripped or flew away and sometimes too much light can be a negative it can be like driving when it's snowing with full beam on. You know I love the channel Martin just a few thoughts I had while watching.

[@soletrail]

Hey Paddy Sir. Please always feel free to share your thoughts. Its how we all learn isn't it 🙂 Yes hiking off the mountain with a full pack in bad weather is always a risk. I had to do it twice and this is where I felt safe when I'm confident in my equipment. I also love night hiking so good equipment is vital. I 100% agree that too much light "sometimes" can actually be a negative. You can see that in thick fog. Its actually worse having more light. Even in very strong wind and rain a strong beam can reflect back and impair your vision. The flood light setting is best for that and luckily most head torches have multiple settings. Big thanks for sharing your thoughts Paddy. Appreciate it. Its how we all learn isn't it so please never stop. 😉🙌👊👍🥾🥾

I have had my hp25r v2 for over 3 years now and it is still performing like new even though i wear it 5 times a week in a diesel shop beating the crap out of it

Boys with toys Great presentation Martin . I have a head torch in my bag for the last three years and have never used it must check the battery ..hope to see you soon on the hills .Stay safe.

[@soletrail]

Hey Ger. Always handy to have a working head torch with you. Well done for carrying one in your bag. Mine doesn't leave my bag. Better safe than sorry. Planning a group hike soon so will let you know.

Cheers.

Great video! Can you get to the red light without cycling through a white light first?

[@AnilSingh-rn3kx]

Hi if the headlight is not in use do you need to remove the battries.

[@soletrail]

Hi.. there is a cable on the side you can unplug.bor unscrew the battery compartment. It saves the battery from discharging.

[@AnilSingh-rn3kx]

@@soletrail nice thanks

[@bdmenne]

Really like it, but I’m looking for a brighter range of Red. I want red for walking, working at night & hunting.

[@soletrail]

It's great to hear you like the Felix head torch! For your specific needs, if you're looking for a brighter range of red light, you might want to consider exploring other head torch models or brands that offer adjustable or customisable light settings. Some head torches allow you to adjust the intensity or color of the red light, which can be handy for different activities like walking, working at night, and hunting. Checking out reviews and product specifications can help you find the perfect head torch that meets your requirements. Happy hunting! 🌙🔦🦌

[@patrickconnolly768]
