Weather proof pen

[Winnet]

I'm looking for a decent weatherproof pen in the same vein as the Fisher Space Pen. Any alternative suggestion rather then buying a space pen?

Whats it for? Writing a diary in the rain, or marking something important so it remains legible?

You can fit a Space pen refill cartridge into a Parker jotter with the adapter that comes with the refill

Didn't know that, but am glad I do now.

Parker G2 refills are a standard size, the Fishers fit anything that takes a G2 with the adaptor. I’ve got one in my Rotring 600, most pens take G2.

Pretty sure if you google weatherproof G2 refills you’ll find a choice of refills, which then gives you a huge choice of pens.

It is to have in my backpack when I go off on one of my jaunts. I have waterproof paper so just need the pen.

A refill could be an option.

I went into our local stationers and asked if they had a pen that wrote both underwater and upside down.

"This one does. Let me demonstrate," he said and wrote something on a piece of paper which he passed across the counter.

I read underwater and upside down.

Is this the time to wheel out the urban myth about the NASA guys using a space pen but the Russian cosmonauts using a pencil?

Sometimes I screenshot your posts and send them to my sister. This is not one of those occasions 🙃

I think fabric markers are a popular choice.

Now, there is a thought.

Probably a rollerball with a gel ink, or an ultrafine permanent marker.

There are multiple space pens and rite in the rain pens available. I got this one as a gift a few years ago. Also have the rite in the rain below. Both nice writers and I prefer it to the standard small space pen.

Double ended Sharpie?

I have picked a stubby Sharpie for just now and that seems to work.
