MSR® Strike Igniter

I've had cheap lighters die on me mid-trip, but this thing sparks every single time, even with damp hands. The all-weather build feels solid enough to toss in a pack pocket and forget about until dinner.

Took this out in a downpour last weekend and it still sparked on the first try—that sealed deal for me. The grip feels solid even with wet hands, and it’s compact enough to clip onto my pack loop without getting in the way. Exactly the kind of dependable spark I needed for my camp stove.

Took it on a damp camping trip and it lit my stove on the first try every morning, even after being left out overnight. The rubberized grip feels solid in wet hands, though it's a bit chunkier than I'd like for packing.
