They have fishing caps with built in white LEDs at the front of the skip. </p> <p>I'll stick with the Lowe Alpine Trail Cap. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4846#post-51356 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:01:26 +0000 kaputnik 51356@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Also have basic Petzl. Unfortunately it wwas found to be largely incompatible with helmet as that caused the light to shine in entirely the wrong position. I used it last year in worst of the snow (when I was wearing my fleecy hillwalking earflap hat thing) but decided I didn't like head torches in the snow as they cause the snow immediately infront of your eyes to reflect the light and end up dazzling you. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4846#post-51352 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:57:58 +0000 thebikechain 51352@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I had a wee Petzl thing i lost that was perfect for riding with... must try and find it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4846#post-51349 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:52:12 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 51349@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Picked up a Petzl at Tiso <em>before</em> the sales, already reduced to a tenner. Just a basic model, but I actually think this morning, the first ride with it, the use was proved as someone reversed out of their drive with high walls either side, but I was able to look at them <em>over</em> the wall...</p> <p>I think, given I've got a couple of Walz caps, I might convert one to the winter headtorch cap and get the old needle and thread out, rather than relying on the stretchy band. But I'm pretty impressed. </p>
