ISPO Award 2022 Winner: Silva Terra Scout Headlamp
Today Silva's new headlamp Terra Scout is announced as a ISPO Award 2022 winner. The headlamp sets a new standard in the headlamp market with its sustainable and lightweight features. Terra Scout is a step towards a brighter and more sustainable future and smart innovations together with the well-known and successful concept of “reuse, reduce, recycle” are part of Silva's strategy going forward.
The Swedish outdoor brand Silva presented the first liquid-filled compass in 1933, and already in 1935, the first headlamp – the Zeiler – was introduced. Ever since, Silva has continued to develop outdoor products for both world athletes and everyday adventurers. Today it was announced that the new Terra Scout headlamp-series have been awarded in the 2022 ISPO Awards
Terra means earth, and products labelled Silva Terra have lower environmental footprint.
“Silva Terra is our promise but also our contribution to the future. We are now implementing Terra as an overall strategy in all our product categories and in our entire value chain. Our products are in the hardware and electronics categories where there is still much to do in terms of sustainability. We are proud to present a headlamp with innovative materials that contribute to reduced CO2 emissions, yet humble of the long journey we have ahead of us. We will take it step by step, product by product. Apart from the Terra Scout headlamps, we will introduce dry bags, compasses and rain covers in the Terra-series during FW22/SS23.” says Madelene Jonsson Öhlin, Head of Sales and Marketing at Silva.
Terra Scout is made of recycled plastics and Revo material produced by the Swedish company Trifilon. The Revo material consists of recycled polymers mixed with plant fibres from hemp and has up to 90% lower CO2 emissions compared to standard plastics. The Revo material has not been coloured in the Terra Scout series, which means that each headlamp has a unique look.
This is what the ISPO Award jury says about the Silva Terra Scout:
Terra Scout is the perfect headlamp for hiking adventures with a map and compass, for dog walks in the evening, or for cozy moments in the tent when darkness falls.
Terra Scout will be launched in three different models and available in stores from September 2022 with a recommended retail price from EUR 39,99.

Three entrepreneurial brothers. One great invention. In 1933 the brothers Björn, Alvar and Arvid Kjellström, and Gunnar Tillander, invented the first ever liquid-filled compass, and our story began. Not only was it the first compass of its kind, but it also set the global standard for how navigation works. The SILVA brand was born. A few years later, in 1935, we expanded our business with our first headlamp - the Zeiler. And ever since, we have continued to develop smart and reliable outdoor equipment. The SILVA brand is currently marketed in the Nordic region, Europe, Asia and North America. Since 2021, SILVA is owned by Verdane. For more information, please visit www.silvasweden.com
