Skylite Headtorch Headband 2g

"Amazing torch and well made ultra light headband, don't know you are wearing it" – PM, purchased on 20/7/20.

Skylite headtorch headband

Headtorches are heavy – the Skylite is my innovative, flexible, hyperlight fix!

At just 2g, the elasticated adjustable headband has a grip sleeve into which you can insert a small torch (e.g. nitecore tiki) and wear side mounted on your head. Nothing comes close to the weight, yet you get the full convenience of a headtorch!

Unlike most UL headtorches, the Skylite isn't lightweight by being dim: pop a TIKI LE module in, and for 12g you have a 300 lumen, USB rechargeable, weatherproof headtorch with the option of red/blue strobe lighting for enhanced visibility. This is my go-to headtorch for everything from nighthiking the pennine way to bothy nights in the hebrides.

• Micro elasticated
• Fits many mini torches, particularly the nitecore tiki series.
• Typically weighs 2g with the elastic trimmed appropriately

Headband only, pictured light module not included: add one for extra below.

The headband is supplied with extra elastic which should be tied to an appropriate length, trimmed and the end carefully singed. Make sure it is not too loose or too tight. We recommend using this over a buff, hat or hood.

With the elastic trimmed to length, it typically weighs 2g. With the surplus elastic untrimmed it is normal for it to weigh more. Micro USB cable not included, but you've probably got a dozen of them anyway :)

NOTE: The Skylite headband is available for sale to international customers, but the Tiki torches are not. If you are outside the UK and would like to purchase the Skylite headband, please select 'headband only' from the dropdown list.
