Zippo Lighters at CritPro

Zippo has been making windproof lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932 and has built one of the most recognized and trusted brand names in American manufacturing over nine decades of continuous domestic production. The Zippo lighter earned its legendary reputation during World War II when American soldiers carried them through every theater of the war, relying on their windproof design and consistent ignition in conditions that defeated every other lighter available. That military credibility combined with Zippo's lifetime guarantee, which covers repair or replacement of any Zippo lighter regardless of age or condition, has made the brand a genuine American icon that transcends its category.

The Zippo windproof lighter design has remained essentially unchanged since its introduction, which is a testament to how well the original design works. The hinged lid, the flint wheel ignition, and the windproof chimney that allows a Zippo to light reliably in conditions that extinguish every other lighter are as effective today as they were in 1932. Zippo lighters run on lighter fluid that is widely available and inexpensive, making them practical for outdoor and everyday use without the limitations of butane lighters in cold weather or at altitude where butane pressure drops and ignition becomes unreliable.

For outdoor users, campers, and everyday carry enthusiasts who want a fire starting tool with proven reliability, an American lifetime guarantee, and genuine cultural heritage behind it, a Zippo is one of the most practical and satisfying everyday carry additions available.
