Can anyone recommend a decent torch for around £30? Should I go for a trusty Maglite or are there better alternatives?
Many thanks in advance.

that certainly is true but my last Petzl went all over the world with me up mountains, down caves, in the rain, in the snow, in the heat and it went for a swim on several occasions and it even survived a +80 mph dive my bag took of a roof rack on the M62. I have only just retired it after 15 years of service and all the attention it got was a re lube of the seals a new bulb every now and then and some cleaning from time to time
now from what i have experienced with my new Petzl and what others have told me theirs have been through i am very confident that i shall get another 15 years service from this bomb proof piece of kit
how many head torches have you had in the last 15 years and how many will you buy in the next 15 ?
