I am trying to find a TORCH to be worn on the BODY while RUNNING. HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPP!!

[Hekate]

I can't find one. I am googling running torch, looking in running shops online etc, with no luck whatsoever. I need one for dh. Can anyone help?

A torch that straps to the body to provide illumination so you don't trip over stuff, or fall down holes while running in dark areas.

this or maybe not bright enough

Petzl do them. Try googling head torch, there are some with retractable cords instead of a strap so they can be worn on arms etc.

here's one

another one

It's very good, I'm longing for one

(god how sad do I sound.....)

You might be better searching walking/climbing type gear. Will have a look.....

that's huge southeastastra!

I wouldn't want that with me when I'm running!!!

I'm thinking this may not be practical.

Strawberry I'd pmsl if I saw a runner with that on! would be hilarious

Strawberry!

See, mumsnet is the best place. I just KNEW you guys could help me.

lolololol the first link did you see at the bottom special offer buy this with the blow lob kit

well, he's not having that...

OMG what is the link between running in the dark and blow jobs?

Some recommendations here.

Ooo I'm like the one on OverMyDeadBody's link.

lol it comes with a free hairnet

Is it just me, or would this make you feel like a Dalek?

The blow job kit? Useful.. my hair always gets in the way during one.

Lots here.

Also on Amazon.

Can I ask a stupid question?

LED.

Is it a case of the higher the number, the better the torch? So a 1 LED is not as good as a 6 LED and the 40-odd LED is fantastic??

What is a LED anyway?

Aren't you worried.. running in the dark? You might get.... pillaged.. or something! (I am not sure what "being pillaged" involves but it sounds risky!)

here: A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor diode that emits incoherent narrow-spectrum light when electrically biased in the forward direction of the p-n junction. This effect is a form of electroluminescence.

Got it?

LED light is white and bright, as opposed to the yellow glow you get from conventional torch bulbs. They tend to need more powerful batteries (the circular ones usually).

pillage: 1. to strip ruthlessly of money or goods by open violence, as in war;

1. to take as booty.

?verb (used without object)

1. to rob with open violence; take booty.

Doesn't sound good does it?

It's for dh, not for me.

He wears such tight running stuff, they'd see at a glance he was carrying nothing 'pillage-er--able'

My apologies for the mental picture. I will pay for your therapy.
