This is the Rite in the Rain No. OR13 all-weather mechanical pencil with a blaze-orange barrel and dark 1.3mm lead. The wide knurled grip holds steady in wet or gloved hands, and the resin-and-metal barrel takes drops and pocket abuse without cracking.
Pencil is the old reliable of wet-weather writing — it marks coated all-weather paper in pouring rain, sub-freezing cold, and grime that clogs ballpoints. The thick 1.3mm lead resists snapping under jobsite pressure, and a spare lead ships in the barrel.
Rite in the Rain has made all-weather writing paper in Tacoma, Washington since 1916, when it was developed for logging crews in the Pacific Northwest.
