Anyone who buys a Petzl over this product clearly has money to burn - Fantastic!

Just had the Gamma delivered.  A word of warning, do not be foolish and look into the bright one, you will go blind - ignoe this advice at your own peril.  Great bit of kit, looking forward to using at the weekend (if my vision returns)

Fantastic once again - am away with my Siver DofE group this weekend and hope to convince several of them that it would be a good addition to their kit, at a much better price than comparable products.

Only suggestion is that including instructions for the modes would be useful - perhaps with email acknowledgement of order to save paper?

Just used this on a rock route in Dorset ‘Benny’. It’s ideal, light and shows what lies ahead!

Good quality bit of kit which makes my 22 year old Petzl Zoom look like a candle in a brown beer bottle. Nice work!

Bought one of these at the Outdoor Show - couldn’t be more impressed! Fantastic kit! I could comment more be I’d only repeat the praise piled on from all the other posts!

There is a question on the power source options though: performance aside, is it safe for the Gamma to be run off the new generation of rechargeable batteries - Ni-Mh (nickel metal hydride) or would it be damage as if run off lithiums?

Whatever the answer, gonna be ordering another three for prezzies anyway...top stuff Alpkit!

got it last week and blinded myself!! thanks! - seems like a fantastic bit of kit, easily as good quality as petzls, but a fraction of the price...and that rear red light will save my ass when running to work in the dark!

Excellent headtorch & it weighs nothing - brilliant!  It would be even better if it worked with rechargeables - may be the next improved version will?  Cheers grin

Next day (FREE!!) delivery.
Superb bit of kit every bit as good as the £50.00+ models available elsewhere.
More functions than you know what to do with and extremely bright.
Rear light also a stroke of genius.

You can’t buy a better headtorch for the price of 4/5 pints of lager!!

GET ONE NOW!

Bought one of these on the strength of the reviews on Outdoors magic website. Every bit as good as the reviews say. Even better than I was expecting. Noticeably brighter than my Tikka XP, even on its boost mode and almost a third of the price. In fact not that much difference between it and a Myo 5 in halogen mode. Fast and free delivery. Can’t ask for much more. Excellent all round, product and service.
