When buying a windproof lighter, some people might think that it will also resist water and splashes. The truth is, no lighter will produce a flame underwater, but some are better to use in rain than others.
First, you should make sure the lighter you want is splash-proof. This won’t guarantee that it will work in rain, but the drops won’t be able to damage the electric components. Then, you should also consider its resistance to mud and dirt.
Some of the best windproof lighters come with heavy-duty rubber covers that resist water, mud, as well as extreme temperatures.
Speaking of temperatures, make sure the lighter is rated as suitable to use in the temperature you’re expecting where you’re camping, especially if you like extreme weather camping.
