They are 10 bucks... but worth it. Ive had the same 2 pens for literally years, only had to replace the refill once. Refills are only $5.

For databook, I use pencils... Cut to golf pencil length. Work great. Sharpen w. knife in field if needed. Never run out of ink, stop, quit in rain, etc. You can erase/change things on your field and ranging diagrams as needed. They work very well.

For winter patrol, we have '40-degree-below-zero' pens that cost a small fortune, write upside down, in rain, snow, sleet, -30 temps, etc. etc. etc. I guarantee you that if the -40 pen comes out... or if I am wearing a plastic cover on my campaign hat... yer 'gettin a ticket.

Cheers,

Sirhr

I have a fisher space pen I'm really pleased with. The only problem is that I don't have more than one so I always forget to put it in my drag bag!

if its -40 and your wearing your campaign hat and not a wool patrol cap you deserve a ticket!

Second for the rite in the rain pens, but you can't beat a good mechanical pencil too.

My local Staples carried Fisher Scientific pens, however I don't think I saw them the last time I was there.

I use a felt tip pen that writes great on the RnR paper and doesnt wash off in water or smudge at all. They dont bleed and the pens last a long time.

+1 for the space pen. I've got a couple and never had a problem in the heat or the cold and they write upsidedown and underwater. They are also shorter so they fit in your pocket better.

Inka pens are great. I keep one on my keychain so I always have a pen.

love rite in the rain. They work on most anything.
I just lose them all the time and can't convince my shop to buy more from servmart...

In Soviet Russia, Space Write in Pencil....

Seriously though, if your surface is coarse, usually a pencil does the trick, any weather, any temp. Otherwise I've got some great art pens that work well in the rain, made for drawing over/through watercolor; can't remember where I picked them up though.
