The Gamma Manta headtorch offers reliable illumination, providing a powerful beam to light up your path, whether you’re hiking at night or setting up camp in the dark.

Overall this is an amazingly good value headtorch that provides a level of performance close to several more expensive rivals.|[The Gamma is a] great value offering from Alpkit which is a good option for runners and cyclists.
