Silva Terra Scout - A Huge Sustainability Step Forward Gear News

© UKC Gear

Silva's new Terra Scout head torches represent both a performance upgrade, and a huge sustainability step forward on the previous Scout models.

Terra means Earth, and Silva's plan is to roll out its Terra programme throughout its product range, step by step, using recycled and environmentally friendly materials. 

Sturdy and lightweight, Terra Scout head torches use recycled plastic and a hemp headband to give a carbon footprint reduction of 90% over the previous versions. The plastic body is uncoloured, as the carbon footprint of non-dyed material is much lower.

Offering powerful 300 or 350 lumen performance in a compact package, the Terra Scout models feature Silva's Intelligent Light, combining a long-reach spotlight with close-in floodlight, and a battery burn time up to 70 hours. There's a large on/off button, battery level indicator, red-light night vision mode, IPX5 water resistance and Hybrid technology; compatible with both Silva's rechargeable Hybrid unit and standard AAA batteries.
