The world's most renowned running headlamp has now been tailored for ultra-distance runners. A new edition to the Trail Runner range the Ultra provides individuals heading into the night with ample battery life to cope with the longest of runs.
With 550 lumens of max brightness in addition to 23.5 hours of burn time on low power, the Trail Runner Free is ideal for those looking for a head torch that doesn’t give out halfway through a race. The package includes two batteries; a Li-Ion 3.7V 4.0Ah 14.8Wh (3xAAA compatible) to be the staple power and a 3xAAA battery case (batteries not included) for redundancy on the trail. The device is IPX5-rated to cope with unexpected showers.
In addition to the impressive power and burn time the unit features running-specific features for those who enjoy heading out during the darkest hours. The comfortable fit with the anti-slip headband is siliconised on the inside to snugly fit against the head and hold the lamp in place even when sweaty.
The Trail Runner Free Ultra uses Silva Intelligent Light Technology that optimizes the spread of beam and throw. A combination of a long-reach spotlight and close flood light improves peripheral vision thus resulting in less head movement, promoting improved balance.
The light now features 4 modes of illumination: intelligent light, minimum, medium, and maximum/boast and can be cycled through depending on your terrain. Moreover on turning the light ‘off’ a power level indicator notifies you of the available remaining power of the torch, providing you with the knowledge of when to change batteries.
Using a rechargeable battery saves both the environment and your wallet, due to the fact you won’t need to replace disposable batteries. However, in the event of being caught short on the trail, the included battery housing provides a backup for lighting.
Designed for those who don’t want the darkness to limit their training, the Trail Runner Free Ultra is a runner's nocturnal companion.
