The dad whose weekday runs quietly stopped in April when it started getting dark before he got home
What it is
Weatherproof head torch with four light modes, an 87 lumen high beam and up to twenty hours of runtime in power-saving mode, supplied with three AAA batteries. Reduced from $53.95.
Why we picked it
Through an Australian winter, running before or after work means running in the dark, and without a torch the run simply does not happen. This is the sub-$50 object that decides whether his weekday training survives the months after daylight saving ends.
