I’ve been a big fan of Black Diamond head torches since getting my first Storm from the US mountain-focussed brand about 20 years ago.
That torch remained my go-to headlamp for well over a decade, and while I have tested many more excellent headlamps and handheld flashlights (from myriad brands) since the Storm (now a multi-generation product) remains a firm favourite and the best design I have come across in terms of simplicity combined with high-end functionality and performance.
