Fisher Backpacker Space Pen
Ever pulled a pen out of your briefcase in a hurry to jot some notes down, and nothing happens. Whether a pen is upside down in your bag, dried out or simply just being inconvenient, it can be annoying. The Backpacker Space Pen was designed for those that spend time outdoors or in extreme temperatures, but it works just as well for business travelers.
I found this pen was perfect to keep in my car because temperatures can fluctuate, but the pen still works without a problem. It was also great to use on a recent skiing trip when I needed to jot some notes down midway down the mountain. It has a convenient hook that keeps it tied to your jacket so it doesn’t fall out of your pocket. The pen is designed to work in temperatures as low as -30 F to 250 F. Let’s hope that doesn’t need to be tested out to that extreme.
In fact, this pen was created and designed for use in outer space and was tested and used regularly by NASA astronauts. The ink compartment is carefully sealed to guarantee that the pen has a long life of sturdy use.
The pen can also write when held upside down making this a great pen to keep bedside. If you’re like me and your head spins with things you have to do before falling asleep, this can be the answer to your prayers.
It comes in a variety of colors including silver, black, red, and blue and retails for $20 on the Fisher website or on Amazon. Businesses love these pens because they make great executive gifts, and they are perfect to keep in a car, winter jacket, or in a briefcase. Another plus for travelers is that it is exceptionally lightweight and has a removable top so that it does not leak ink in your pocket. No excuse to forget important ideas again thanks to this ingenious pen that will appeal to a variety of needs.
