Fenix HM65R Headtorch Review

I was sent this by Fenix for review - I have been using it on all of my camps over the last few months and can highly recommend this piece of equipment for anyone who is serious about their outdoor adventures, especially as the darker nights are rolling in.

The headtorch is very well made and of high quality, with a magnesium alloy body. I didn't want to get too bogged down in technical details in the video - because who buys a headtorch based on simply facts and figures ? At the end of the day, all I can tell you is that this is rugged, waterproof, drop proof and dust proof - very well made - with excellent battery life, amazing brightness settings and USB C rechargeable. I do not use any other head torches on my trips now - !
