Here at LFTO, we track the best Black Friday deals on everything outdoors. Black Friday 2023 has passed, but file us away in a bookmark folder and be the first to know when head torch deals go live for Black Friday 2024.
Head torches are a remarkable invention. You can go your whole life without realising how useful they are – but the ability to keep both hands free while lighting up a dark environment is nothing short of godlike.
There's plenty of variation in price and quality when it comes to head torches. We find that a high-end light is worth buying for long charge times, durability, and – crucially – reliability in rough conditions. But of course, these can be pricey.
As Cyber Monday hits, outdoor brands across the globe are launching never-before-seen deals, and they're getting snapped up quick. We're tracking these deals to make sure you can find the best bargain for your head torch.

When is Black Friday?

Judging by how massive the Black Friday 2022 sales were for the outdoors industry, 2023 will be even more extravagant - guaranteed.

Our top tips for coping with Black Friday:
Sign up for newsletters and updates
They might clog up your inbox for the rest of the year, but you’ll find that newsletters will bring you discounts and alerts about bargains before anything else.
You can also sign up to the LFTO Newsletter, where we'll keep you to date with our 'best of' articles and Black Friday deals.
Stick to your budget
You might be tempted into all and every deal that you see on Black Friday, but set a budget and stick to it. Experts also say that you should use a credit card (it’s the safest way to pay, as the bank will end up footing the bill if there is any kind of mishap).
Stick around afterwards...
Previously, waiting until Black Friday was one of the best strategies for saving money on big-ticket items, but recent years have taught us that many of the biggest online sales will come under the 'Cyber Monday' banner, which can last until the end of November. So, always keep your eyes peeled, the bargain hunt isn't quite over yet.
