I’m a big fan of Alpkit<\/a> and the kit they produce. Who knows how many Alpkit<\/a> stuff sacks and dry bags I own! However they do produce so much more. The boys and girls and Alpkit<\/a> have kindly sent a Manta headtorch<\/a> over for me to check out. <\/p>\n

\"Unsponsored-rev<\/p>\n

The timing on this is excellent as it arrived (lovingly packaged) just in time for an overnight backpacking trip. So here is a quick look at the Manta<\/a> (a full review to follow).<\/p>\n

\"Unsponsored-rev<\/p>\n

The Manta<\/a> is a headtorch<\/a> with integrated battery compartment. The dimmable 100 lumen Cree L.E.D. delivers a bright beam, the width of which is adjustable using the front focussing ring. The main high output Cree L.E.D. can be dimmed to any level between 10 and 100 percent as well as a strobe setting for attracting attention. <\/p>\n

\"Unsponsored-rev<\/p>\n

Underneath the main beam are 4 low power LEDs. <\/p>\n

\"Unsponsored-rev<\/p>\n

Green for map reading without affecting night vision. Double red, gives enough light to see features when walking but doesn\u2019t affect your or your companions night vision. Blue, gives a wider less focussed beam than the main bulb (just 5 lumens) but with a longer burn time.<\/p>\n
