3.0 out of 5 stars Works well at sea level, beware at 8k' or higher, July 10, 2008

This lighter works great when you're at sea level, and if that's your goal then look no further. It is well built, and lights very easily when enough oxygen is present.

If, on the other hand, you take this lighter backpacking at elevations higher than 8,000 feet, then your mileage may vary. It takes a lot of convincing to light at all at these elevations, and you may find yourself without a flame at all.

The instructions advise you use premium butane fuel, and to set the fuel level to the lowest setting when at higher elevations, both of which I did. Unfortunately it still took 10-20 "clicks" before I got any sort of flame, which is unacceptable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little lighter, December 5, 2008

This is a great little lighter. I bought it because I wanted a lighter that had a waterproof cap. I went ahead and ordered this one.

I expected the cap to be metal but as other reviewers commented, the cap is plastic. Its pretty sturdy though.

The lighter is refillable and has a window in the bottom where you can see if its full with fuel or needs a refil.

The lighter has a clip that I'd probably never use in the field but its nice and the cover has a lanyard hole for tieing it down.

It is fairly wind resistant but I haven't tried it in any kind of storm conditions.

Most torch lighters don't work very well at high altitudes so consider other options for your survival kit if you're a mountain climber.

It has only one torch but shoots a very nice long and strong flame.

I've had no problems with this lighter since I purchased it about 6 months ago but then again I don't use it extensively.

It is black which is nice but you might consider a bright lanyard or bright tape if you're a frequent camper and you might drop it.

One final thing. It is a bit expensive. I think it would be entirely worth it if it were made of metal but at plastic -- hmmm. My jury is still out but I like it so far.

The lighter ships empty as is normal for these lighters -- so if you want instant gratification when it arrives, I recommend you have some butane fuel from the supermarket to fill your new lighter.

I hope this helps anyone.

I would have given this one 5 stars except it had a plastic top and bottom. I wouldn't say it's a cheap plastic (isn't all plastic cheap??), but I was expecting metal like the body. Works great otherwise and lit up on the first try.
