Rite in the Rain All-Weather Metal Clicker Pen 97

Overview of the Rite in the Rain Metal Clicker Pen | 97

Rite in the Rain makes tools for professionals who can't afford to stop writing when the weather turns. The All-Weather Metal Clicker Pen is a compact, powder-coated brass writing instrument built around a pressurized ink cartridge that keeps right on working in rain, mud, sweat, and grease. Whether you're filling out a field report in a downpour or scrawling coordinates on a flooded topo sheet, this pen doesn't quit.

Law enforcement officers, military personnel, firefighters, and field researchers trust this pen because ordinary ballpoints dry out, skip, or smear the moment conditions get rough. The 97 series solves that.

Why it stands out:

• Writes at any angle, including completely upside down
• Functions from -30°F to 250°F and underwater to 35 feet
• Permanent ink resists water, sweat, grease, and mud
• 0.9 mm point for bold, confident lines on all-weather paper
• Available in four variants: Black/Black ink, Black/Blue ink, OD Green/Black ink, and Orange/Black ink

Slim enough to clip into a shirt pocket or notebook cover, rugged enough to survive what you're already surviving.

Compatibility

The Rite in the Rain Metal Clicker Pen is designed to pair with all Rite in the Rain all-weather notebooks, field notebooks, and data books that use the brand's proprietary water-resistant paper. It writes reliably on standard dry paper as well, making it a practical everyday carry pen.

Replacement cartridges are sold separately and are compatible with all Rite in the Rain all-weather pen models. The proprietary pressurized cartridge is not interchangeable with standard Fisher Space Pen cartridges or common ballpoint refills.

This pen is sized for standard shirt pockets and most notebook pen loops. At 5.125 inches long and 3/8 inch in diameter, it fits most tactical notebook covers and data book holders.

Limitations to note: This pen is not designed to write on extremely waxy or oily surfaces. For best results on all-weather paper, apply moderate consistent pressure. The OD Green and Orange barrel variants are MPN OD97 and OR97 respectively and share the same pressurized black ink cartridge as the standard Black model.

Intended Users

The Rite in the Rain All-Weather Metal Clicker Pen was built for anyone whose work or training puts them outdoors in unpredictable conditions.

Law enforcement officers rely on it to document incident reports, field notes, and citations in the rain without smearing ink or losing legibility. Military personnel and special operations teams carry it as a standard-issue writing tool, reflected in its NSN listings across multiple variants. Firefighters and EMS professionals keep it clipped to their uniform for quick notes at the scene, where sweat and water are a given.

Field researchers, surveyors, geologists, and environmental scientists use it to capture data on all-weather notebooks without worrying about moisture compromising their records. Search and rescue teams and emergency management personnel depend on it when conditions deteriorate and every note counts. Outdoor enthusiasts, survivalists, and backcountry guides appreciate having a pen that functions reliably whether they're kayaking, camping in the rain, or working in sub-zero temperatures.

The Orange variant (OR97) is particularly popular with first responders and search and rescue personnel who need high-visibility gear that's easy to locate quickly.
