Nik Cook and his Silva Sprint

"The Silva Alpha is a fantastic head-torch but, with the new Sprint, Silva has raised the bar even higher. It's all too easy when choosing a light for night mountain biking or off-road running to be seduced by the promise of high power low price offerings. Simple output isn't everything though and, with its Intelligent Light beam, the Sprint combines a perfect blend of distance penetration with a wide ranging flood. It does pack an impressive lighting punch too though, putting out 1030 lumens. For running, the low power is more than enough and the head cradle is comfortable and stable. For mountain biking, at full power and mounted on your helmet, it's a stand alone light that delivers perfect depth perception and unbeatable trail visibility."
