The Rite in the Rain No. 97 All-Weather Clicker Pen is a black metal clicker construction built around a USA-manufactured pressurized cartridge. That cartridge is the key — it writes in temperatures from -30°F to 250°F, under water up to 35 feet, and at any angle, not just held upright.
Proprietary weatherproof ink writes through water, grease, and mud without clumping or smearing; writes without skipping in extremely wet conditions. Clip it to a pocket on a jobsite, drop it in a rucksack for a backcountry trip, or keep it on a patrol belt — it writes the first time, every time, whether conditions are bone-dry or pouring rain.
Rite in the Rain has been manufacturing all-weather paper and writing instruments in Tacoma, Washington since 1916, serving military, law enforcement, forestry, and surveyors who need records that survive weather. The brand is built on gear that works when the conditions don’t cooperate.
