I have several lighters (no, i dont smoke) that I wanted for BOB and such. I keep an Eddie Bauer butane lighter in my fatboy or pocket. They were pretty cheap and from target, they are just rebadged colibri's. They are pretty durable and I have never had any trouble having them light. I subjected them to a brief water test (under the faucet for a couple minutes, shake dry and light) and it worked fine. Keep in mind that these lighters are kind of sleek and i would try banging them against rocks or anything. i also have a brunton helios, which is basically an armored lighter. it seems to have a better ignition system than the colibri's (occasionaly...only once in awhile...do i have to hit the striker twice to get a flame on from the colibri...i've never had to do that with the helios). its a bit big to carry in ur pocket, but it is extremely durable. one thing i like is that the cover flips back to 180 degrees, enabling u to get a better lighting angle if u needed. of the two colibri's i have, both only open to about 130 degrees - 140 degrees. The helios also has a screw cover (which im glad is not a snap on) over the inlet valve. one major thing i like about the helios is that when you remove the cover, you can adjust the flame height with ur finger nail. both my other colibri's require a flat head screw driver or such. one of them uses a rubber/plastic screw to adjust the hieght, which is not strong at all and is wearing badly. most of us who are actually worrying about having a lighter with us almost always have a multitool or knife to get the job done, but i like being able to adjust the flame without a tool. the helios also has the clip to keep the cover closed, although i havent tested how water tight it is when its all closed up. anyway, hope this helps
