Works well at sea level, beware at 8k' or higher July 10, 2008

This lighter works great when you're at sea level, and if that's your goal then look no further. It is well built, and lights very easily when enough oxygen is present.
If, on the other hand, you take this lighter backpacking at elevations higher than 8,000 feet, then your mileage may vary. It takes a lot of convincing to light at all at these elevations, and you may find yourself without a flame at all.
The instructions advice to use premium butane fuel, and to set the fuel level to the lowest setting when at higher elevations, both of which I did. Unfortunately it still took 10-20 "clicks" before I got any sort of flame, which is unacceptable.
 Works great! December 7, 2007

I would have given this one 5 stars except it had a plastic top and bottom. I wouldn't say it's a cheap plastic (isn't all plastic cheap??), but I was expecting metal like the body. Works great otherwise and lit up on the first try.

This little bugger can get you some. It claims to be windproof up to 80mph and while I've been fortunate enough to not be in such conditions, it does seem plausible. It uses butane fuel (not included) and ejects a really hot, half-inch flame from the port for as long as you hold down the ignition switch. It's lightweight, waterproof and effectively takes the place of a whole bunch of matches.

This does what you need a storm proof lighter to do: the cap comes off, so you can get the flame closer to the tinder without burning your fingers off; it's tough and comes with a belt clip; and it has a powerful, torch-like flame. The only drawback is that you need to hold the button half-way down jfor about a second before depressing it all the way to ignite the fuel, otherwise, it doesn't light. No biggy. I bought a small Zippo because they are supposed to be somewhat windproof, but because I am not a smoker, it doesn't get much use and doesn't seem to stay primed and takes forever to light. Not a problem with the Brunton.
 Piezo sparker fouled in first days November 12, 2007

I love my Helios, so I thought I'd try this one. Nice design except the piezo spark trigger broke within a few days, unfortunately I lost it shortly thereafter so no return to see if it was just a lemon. Good riddance none the less.
