It runs on Petzl's Core rechargeable battery and suits anyone who runs before or after work.
Pros
Red light won't dazzle other runners.
Reflective headband helps them stay visible.

What to buy someone who loves being a firefighter
Firefighters work shifts, often at night, so the best gifts for firefighters are practical: a good head torch, a multi-tool and a flask that keeps drinks hot. A simple digital watch is easy to read in poor light. Check which kit their station supplies before buying something they may not be allowed to carry.
