Colibri Xtreme II High Altitude Lighter
Burn Baby Burn
I have serious doubts that many of you spend a regular amount of time 13,000 feet above sea level. Well, this is Gear Patrol so maybe you do.
If so, then I sincerely hope you’ve got a Colibri XTREME II High Altitude Wind Resistant Butane Lighter packed with your gear. According to the manual that came with my Colibri, the Xtreme II is the first lighter specifically designed for high altitude conditions. It’s also perfect for those outdoor excursions I know you love taking and using an excuse for overengineered gear.
The Xtreme II uses Colibri’s Quantum ignition system that produces a damn-near scary single column flame that won’t falter - no matter how much wind or how little oxygen you have. Its metal encasing has threaded caps that seal each end of the lighter and the bottom camp even has it’s own integrated compass. Pretty handy.
Cost: $55
As a submariner I have seen O2 levels drop ridiculously low. This will come in handy when you are running on coffee and cigs (If able to light)
Thanks GP!!!!!
[…] Like never-fail high-altitude butane lighters that have more in common with light sabers than your run-of-the-mill plastic Bics. And chic, phonetically named liquors with a proof high enough to put hair on your chest, then burn it clean off. […]
