This distinctly dinky Pocketlight 200 weighs in at just 66g, runs on a single AA battery, and spews out an impressive 200 lumens on high. The knurled aluminium body gives you decent grip in wet conditions, while the IP65 water-resistant rating means you can use it in the rain without it being game over. Two brightness modes give you two hours on full whack or up to five hours on a softer 70-lumen beam. The tail switch means you can operate it one-handed, and there's a low-battery warning so it doesn't cut out halfway through finding your tent pegs. Small enough to carry pretty much anywhere, bright enough to be useful when you need it.
| True Lumen ANSI | Burn Time ANSI | Light distance ANSI | |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX | 200 lm | 2 | 65 m |
| MIN | 70 lm | 5 | 45 m |
It’s a bit of a cliché to say, ‘this brand needs no introduction…’, but sometimes it really doesn’t. If you ever did scouts, guides or cadets, got epic blisters on a D of E expedition or went on an outward bounds residential, chances are you did it with a Silva compass in the pocket of your boil-in-the-bag cagoule.
Like so many world-changing inventions, the Silva compass began as a problem that needed solving. Back in the day, your standard compass wobbled all over the shop, making it tricky and time-consuming to get a decent reading. That is, until 1933, when four Swedes invented a liquid-filled compass. The resistance from the fluid slowed and stabilised the needle, meaning you could nail a reliable bearing in seconds. Navigation was never the same again.
But iconic as the compasses are, they’re only one part of the Silva story. They were one of the first companies to make reliable electric head torches for the outdoors, and they’ve also branched out into optics, trekking kit and other navigational gear. Tried and tested for the better part of a century, Silva’s precision instruments have literally been the difference between life and death for generations of outdoor adventurers – and as brand pedigree goes, that’s pretty much impossible to beat.
