A practical and versatile flashlight, easy to find thanks to its vivid colour. The battery lasts a long time, but unfortunately it cannot be replaced with a new one, which makes it impossible to carry a spare. On longer trips, a powerbank is necessary, which I consider the biggest disadvantage.
Silva Explore 5 Black Head Torch - 700 lumens

The built-in rechargeable battery charged via the USB-C port adds to the practicality of the device.

The head torch has a variety of lighting modes, including a super-low mode that emits 15 lumens for 50 hours, making it ideal for reading. The maximum mode runs for 2-3 hours, while the medium-high mode offers 4.5-5 hours of operation at 300 lumens. In addition, the head torch is equipped with red and orange light modes to help maintain nighttime visibility and make map reading easier.

Durable design, IP68 waterproof rating
The body of the head torch is made of matt anodised aluminium, which increases its resistance to corrosion and scratches. The tough tempered glass protects the lens from possible damage. The non-slip head prevents the head torch from moving when placed on a flat surface. Thanks to the materials used and the sealing rings, the head torch meets the IP68 waterproof standard, which ensures full resistance to dust, water and immersion to a depth of up to 2 metres. In addition, it is resistant to falls from up to 2 metres.
Power supply and functionality
The head torch has an integrated rechargeable battery charged via a USB-C port, allowing a full charge in 2 hours. The Silva Intelligent Light power system combines different types of lighting for maximum flexibility and comfort. Abattery level indicator with four levels allows you to monitor your power status in real time, and a button lock protects against accidental activation. In addition, rubber reinforcements increase shock resistance, making the head torch ideal for harsh outdoor conditions.
Convenient mounting and accessories
A helmet mount is included in the set, adding to the head torch's versatility. Smooth-action fasteners allow for easy adjustment and a spring clip allows the head torch to be attached to a backpack, pocket or other gear. The set also includes a charging cable and protective case, which provides extra protection during transport.
