Windmill Trekker Stormproof Lighter Review

I purchased this lighter from REI on sale so that I could have a reliable, and durable lighter while back packing.REI no longer sells this item so I am writing a review here.

At sea level this lighter starts most of the time it takes quite a bit of adusting of the gas to get it to work reliably.When it is on it gives off a hot blue flame that would in most cased be "wind proof" it is also very fuel efficient.

When I took this lighter up into the mountains on a back packing trip however this lighter refused to start for me.I was at 11,00 feet and no matter how I adjusted the gas setting it just wouldn't go.I had to use my $0.88 Bic lighter that I brought as a back put to light my stove.

I might just be bitter to write a review like this, but when you are cold tired and hungry at 1100 feet you'd be just as disappointed as I am when an expensive piece of gear fails you.

Bottom line - I can't say that this lighter was faulty because it did work at sea level but a lighter that cost $50+ dollars should outperform a Bic lighter at 10,000+ feet.
