The legendary Zippo, designed in 1930 by George G. Blaisdell in Pennsylvania, is the benchmark for refillable outdoor lighters.
Metal, sturdy, and guaranteed for life, this “fire” is a real slap in the face to products with built-in obsolescence, and it can boast a pretty impressive track record, with over 500 million of them sold! Who doesn't remember the unmistakable “click” of the Zippo lid closing?
Thanks to its surrounding shield, which protects the flame, the Zippo is not affected by the wind and is obviously at home aboard our multihulls. It therefore comes as no surprise that the manufacturer offers nautical designs on 18 of its models. From elegant anchors and sailor's knots to highly detailed compass designs, each lighter features a raised design, chrome finish, or laser engraving.
Prices: from € 40 to € 90
