Amazon.com Product Description
When weather is a factor, the Helios stormproof lighter is the answer. The lighter boasts a high-temperature internal flame that withstands winds as high as 80 mph, letting you light the campfire even when conditions seem bleak. Plus, when the lid is closed, the butane-fueled lighter is completely waterproof, so you needn't worry about the Helios becoming waterlogged during a rainstorm. Add in a Piezo electric switch that's reliable for at least 30,000 ignitions and you have an ideal lighter for any outdoor application. As a final bonus, Brunton made it easy to fill the Helios with high-performance Bruntane fuel using the company's FuelTool accessory. The Helios, which measures 2.6 by 0.8 by 0.9 inches (W x H x D) and weighs a mere 1.7 ounces, comes with a detachable wrist lanyard and is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box?

Brunton Helios lighter is a MUST HAVE for anyone who needs heat or a fire starter in adverse conditions. I first learned of the Helios from a sports magazine's evaluation of survival gear and must agree it is the BEST!

My Helios worked well for a few weeks, but then it quit when I really needed it, on a long backcountry trip. I sent it to Brunton for repair. It worked well again, but only for a few weeks. It was sent back a second time, then a third, then a fourth. Adding to the frustration, Brunton's technical support people are terrible about responding to emails requesting return authorization numbers.
When I bought my Helios, they had a lifetime warranty. Now I notice on Brunton's website that the warranty has been reduced to one year. It's easy to understand why: It's an unimpressive piece of gear backed by unimpressive service.
 Style points, but poor performance April 1, 2007

I bought this primarily to light my MSR camp stove on camping trips and to start camp fires. After only a few uses, I have to press down on the switch several times before it glows red (other than that you can't tell it's lit) and it's completely useless for lighting my camp stove because the flame won't reach into it far enough (or at all, really). So, I have the coolest lighter made (although construction is cheap upon close inspection) that will light a camp fire only after a dozen clicks of the ignitor and I have to carry a 50 bic lighter to light my stove. It sure looks cool though - want to buy mine? -Q
