Brunton - Helios Lighter
$79.99
Brunton's Helios Lighter sets the pace in piezo ignited lighters.

This piezo lighter can withstand 70 mph winds and fire-up 30,000 ignitions. An abosolutely unique feature is the 180 ° opening of the lid. Now, say you should drop it - no worries, the elastomer coated housing protects and armors this little gem. A classy, reliable companion for any adventure
