Gamma Reviews

Yet another bit of brilliant kit. A friend of mine had one and when we compared it to both of my Petzls, there was no comparison. The beam was so much brighter and you get all the additional functions as well!

got mine through the post this morning, second one iv bought as the first went to my dad for running at night and as he loved it so much i didn’t have the heart to nick it off him, cheers for another awesome bit of gear guys x

just bought a new gamma to replace the one i dropped down great gully in wales a couple of weeks ago (the final pitch is in a cave. Great torch for the money. thanks

Gamma:

Bought one of these for seeing what I was doing while re-painting a projection room ceiling while films were on (I know - not exactly what they were designed for but it worked a treat) oh, and camping. Light, comfortable and bright (especially with the 1 Watt LED on full). Well made and packed with features. The flashing red LED on the battery pack is a really nice touch for staggering back to the tent from the pub. Another Alpkit bargain, I’d certainly recommend it to anyone for fifteen quid. It even comes with Duracell batteries. Switching modes from the 1 Watt LED to the 5mm LEDs and back and cycling through the variety of options is easy and logical. The only thing I’d suggest is the option of having an distress mode that flashed the SOS morse code instead of just flashing - I’ve seen that on torches. Just an idea - I don’t know how popular that option would be. One thing I’ve learnt from reading these reviews is that different people have all sorts of requirements and that you can’t make a product that suits everyone’s particular wants. All in all I love this headtorch even though my wife told me I looked stupid. I was wearing it round the house during the day at the time so I can kind of see her point though.

Fantastic headtorch - has served me very well for the last year, and still looks brand new.

One little quibble though - if you ever amended the design, could you have the red as the first mode for the small LED, so you can turn it on without wiping out your night vision?

Fantastic piece of kit. Cheap, light, well designed and functional.  Bargain (it came with batteries!).

The best and cheapest headtorch I have owned so far. Good attention to detail, such as the ridges round the buttons to prevent the Gamma being accidentaly switched on whilst being carried in your bag.

I bought my Gamma headtorch from the CTC rally at York. It is made in China like nearly all the others but believe me as soon as you pick it up you can feel the quality - it is very well made. Mine has performed really well and the different coloured led’s are fantastic for outdoors. It is the best torch I have ever bought.

Just to echo what has already been put - a cracking bit of kit, versatile enough for all sorts of nighttime activities (running, camping, hiking, or just working on the car in the evening!). Find the design is comfortable and balanced on the head so it doesn’t ‘bounce’ when running, and the light is more than adequate, even on economy settings.

Loved the handwritten note, and service was outstanding. Keep it up guys.

I can’t believe the quality of this product, how do they do it for the price?? I was using a Petzl Myo, but that’s consigned to be a (very expensive) back-up now. No question, this headtorch is fantastic!!
