Rite in the Rain All-Weather Black Metal Tactical Clicker Pen

Homesteader: I love these pens. The all metal body is durable beyond measure. No breaking the body of a plastic pen in your pocket with these. They’re great for writing on treated, waterproof paper or just in an everyday note pad. They’re long lasting too. I write with mine every day and still manage to lose them before running out of ink. Currently on my third. Going a year plus and still strong!

John M: I reached a point where I had two needs - a pen that works basically everywhere, and something that wasn't black so I could find it in my bag. This pen hit all the marks. First, in hand, it fits. Right size, right feel, not a too tiny EDC little pen, and not a bulky "make a presence" pen. Simple click top, and writing is, well, at your fingertips.
And to address my "why does EVERYTHING have to be black inside my black bag" issue - this orange is easy to find, but also easy on the eyes - a rich color, not neon, that looks good when using and is, indeed, easy to find in a bag full of otherwise black things.
Love the pen - and a follow on, I did buy the Rite in the Rain paper tablet, and yes, I can definitely write in the rain. The pen and paper were perfect while I jotted notes without a raincoat or umbrella. Solid, buy it.

A. Boeser: Wegen der Farbe etwas günstiger bekommen. Aber Recht teuer. Hält er aber was es verspricht. Test unter der Dusche. Klappt.

Aaron A Lewis: The pen is very nice. I love that there is nothing on it - no symbols, logos, words, etc. The all-brass construction gives it a nice weight. My only complaint is a very slight amount of wobble between the top and bottom sections.
I tried comparing it to a regular ballpoint pen, using Rite In The Rain paper, underwater. Both pens worked surprisingly well underwater - the real magic is in the paper! Both pens were more faint and skipped more underwater, but both the regular pen and Rite In The Rain pen were perfectly legible writing completely submerged. The regular pen was a little smoother overall.
If you really are just writing in the rain, use a regular pen without worry. If you need a pressurized pen because you're going to be in an environment where it is necessary (high altitude, need to write upside-down, etc) then these work great.
These pens and inserts are made by Fisher and the only difference between these and the Space Pen are supposedly proprietary ink formulation. But, since I didn't notice any performance difference between the Rite In The Rain version and a standard ballpoint pen, I doubt it will make any difference - get the Space Pen if...

ryan: Love the function, when it works.
This style of pen is awesome but it doesn't seem to like dirt or dust. It refuses to stay extended, or extendes then refuses to retract, after being in a pocket in the field for a day or two

JP: I use this whilst working in a warehouse and its not let me down yet. Writes on paper, card, stickers and my hand when covered in muck and grime with no problem. Not tried it in the rain yet (warehouse doesn't leak) but it does all that it claims to so far.

If I were to nit pick the clip on it is REALLY tight which does make it secure but a pain to clip on and off sometimes. There are occasions where I've had to scrawl for a second or two to get the ink flowing but it's literally a second or two then it works fine. Writes at 90° vertical with no issues, metal casing is nice and strong (been dropped a few times and doesn't show it) and generally looks sexy and functional. The only other thing I'm not crazy about is that it can be pretty easy to unscrew the two halves. Never had it totally unscrew but a quarter turn every now and then makes me slightly twitchy.

That's literally all I can criticise it on. Great little pen that I swear by to the point where I've just ordered myself a spare and my father and brother will be getting one for Xmas (along with the RiR pads which are also Lucille-level AWESOME)

Nothing is indestructible or infallible...

Carthaugus: durable clicker pen, but can loose its feel or grip over time, depends on how much you use it

Mike O.: This pen is everything I have ever needed in an ink writing instrument. I have been using them exclusively for 5 years. Stop reading and start buying. Ok, you need more info or convincing? Continue.

PROS

Design - Its a click pen. Press down on the top half to expose the ball point. Less parts means less parts that can fail or go missing. The pen is lightly textured. The pen is easy to hold but it doesn't excessively wear your clothing. The clip is durable and effective. I haven't had a clip fail yet. Ink cartridges are replaceable. You can also get it in shiny gold if the mood, desire, or uniform requirements deem it necessary.

Writing - Obviously a big feature of the pen is it can write in the rain. Which it certainly can and will if on the correct paper. It will also write upside down or if you find yourself in zero-g and need to take notes. The pen writes very smooth.

CON

Thy neighbors will covet thy pen. After you buy this pen, keep your peepers on it. People WILL try to walk away with it.

SUMMARY

If you have a job or hobby where you use a pen often throughout the day, this pen is worth the...
