All-Weather Pen
on: February 27, 2008, 01:08:59 AM
I keep meaning to post this.  One of the many items I received from Calvin was a "Rite in the rain" All-weather pen and they are pretty good. They write well on many surfaces including shiney and those with grease spots, and I am quite impressed by it.  Here's a link to the site http://riteintherain.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=97&Category=a2abe046-e9e6-43b6-98e1-a70ba46a49b4.  Can't quite say it warrants the "tactical" descrition though.  :D

Not bad for half the price of the bullet shaped Fisher space pen.
I'm back!!

Excellent pens. I have been adicted to the Bullett pen now for 3 years and the write in the rain pads now for 2. You cant get a better product for logging in the outdoor activities.

Excelent pens indeed!

I also have 3 of these pens. 1 All-Weather Pen and 2 Fisher Space Pen. I didn't know that these wonderful products existed not until I received these gifts from Calvin.

My All-Weather Pen still in its clamshell pack and my 2 Fisher Space Pen. The Bullet is in the middle in close position.


The Bullet Space Pen in the middle in open position becomes a full size pen.

I got one of Rite in the rain pens from Calvin and it is pretty cool. What really impressed me was the Rite in the Rain paper pads, now those are cool.

Have you not used your All-weather pen yet then Eddie?  Give it a go it's pretty good. :)

I have taken to carrying both a Fisher and one of these now. It's always handy to have a spare pen on you.

Just in case you accidentally get sucked up into a vacuum and need to write a good bye note? :P

Actually it is really nice to be able to take notes lying on your back under a truck. I like that I can get more than one word down without throwing the pen accross the shop floor.

I've not used mine as much as my Space Pen but it is a nice pen in its own right. The space pen has taken over as my main uni pen though. I'm not a big clicky pen fan, apart from that its a great pen!

Wouldn't you need some all weather paper to go with your all weather pen? Like this stuff from the makers of your tactical all weather pen .... Rite in the Rain Hey, that's how they spell it, ok?

The cartridges in those "Rite in the Rain" pens are made by Fisher, the same people who make the Space Pen. I did a dunk test with the "Rite in the Rain " paper and both pens, thinking that they would be the same. Not so. The ink in the Space Pen bled slightly while the All-Weather pen didn't.

A real mad scientist I am! :ahhh One of you guys that have both, give it a try and see if I'm loony tunes or not. :D
