i am a Silva products fan

i am a Silva products fan. my family and i are keen night runners, cyclists and orienteers and have a range of silva products. recently i bought a Silva Crosstrail 5 ultra. i was upgrading from a Crosstrail 2. your literature suggested that the crosstrail 5 ultra was 500 lumens. the crosstrail 2 is 350 lumen. i was disappointed with the penetration of the crosstrail 5, particularly since i though it would be better than my Crosstrail 2. furthermore, when i tried to use the battery pack (AA rechargable) i was not able to close the outer casing/housing when the 4 batteries are fitted. can you advise what i should do now. i want to continue to buy Silva products for me and my kids as i'm still a fan....

I'm very pleased with Silva Sweden's handling of my order. Through my own mistake, I ended up ordering on Silva's Swedish website rather than on my national Norwegian website. The product price and delivery cost were therefore higher, but Silva's sales department refunded the difference. Thanks for this highly professional customer service!

Trail Speed Head Torch cable

I contacted Silva to see if I could get a replacement cable for my Trail Speed head torch that I'd lost as the item wasn't listed on the website. The Customer Service team were quick to e mail back and arranged for me to purchase a spare direct from Silva. Although the transaction process was a bit protracted as it didn't go through the website, they were always quick to respond to my e mails and the item shipped ok. Great products and great customer service to back them up.

Dissapointef

I was dissapointed that it was not made clear to me that the product did not come with a rechargeable battery. Then ordering a separate rechargeable battery i then had to buy another battery pack. The advertising needs to be better ecplained and the additional battery and pack cost more than the light in the end.

Hey Tim,

Thanks for your through feedback!

Which headlamp does this concern so we can improve the communication regarding that model? It is indeed cheaper to purchase the model that has the rechargeable battery included instead of buying it separately. However, we always offer 14 days free returns if you want to upgrade to another version instead :)

Feel free to contact us at info@silva.se if you have any further questions regarding.

REVIEW OF THE RANGER S COMPASS AND SILVA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE

I have recently purchased the Ranger S compass, the design is very well thought out and it is excellent to use. Holding the Ranger at a comfortable arms length with the mirror at 45 degrees and sighting through the small hole at the bottom of the mirror gives an accurate reading. Using the reflection in the mirror makes it easier to correct the cell position compared to the needle. I took it out with my Explorer 4 compass on a days walking so that I could compare them when I noticed that the Explorer 4's calibration had changed by 180 degrees. I subsequently realised that I must have put it in the wrong pocket, with my iPhone. I contacted Silva and within an hour I was contacted and told me to return the Explorer 4 and that Silva would recalibrate it and return it to me. What a brilliant customer service which is coupled with a fantastic range of products.

Silva trail runner free ultra

On the trail Ultra it is only possible to use the rechargeable battery pack or the AAA pack. If you use the rechargeable pack the red back light can not be used.
This is not made clear on the websit specs before purchasing the light and a direct email had to be sent to confirm this.
The rechargeable battery lead exits the battery at the bottom of the battery horizontally and enters the Head band socket vertically in the middle meaning the battery lead is twisted which is a shame.

Hey,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I apologize for the lack of confirmation e-mails. It is a known issue and we are currently investigating what causes it. This is definitely not the experience we want you to have. I do not recognize the the e-mail that looks suspicious though, I will send you a personal e-mail about that one so we can solve it.

I would buy from Silva again

I would buy from Silva again. I bought a waist bag for running and the zipper got stuck in the fabric and would not open. I contacted Silva and in no time I had a new one. Its a brilliant product and I use it on every run. The customer service it just as brilliant and effective. I have a Silva headlamp from before and that too is a durable and good product that I use for running and cycling in the woods when its dark.

Hey Conny,

Thanks a lot for your 5-star review!

I would recommend the Exceed series with 2000/2200 lumen if you want the most powerful light. If you want a great light but still maintain low weight – the Trail Speed series with 1200 lumen will do the trick.

You are always welcome back to us at Silva when it is time to upgrade.

Best regards,
Fredrik
