Review on Clear Xikar Stratosphere II High Altitude Lighter: Single Jet Flame, Windproof, Ergonomic Design For Durability And Dependability by Adam Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceptional, reliable performance in windy, high altitude conditions

I've owned mine for a year and have used it up to 9500' (2900m) under a number of difficult weather and high altitude conditions and always operates flawlessly. I appreciate the huge tank with a large, clear window for keeping track of its level. It's built to take punishment and has. Especially if you spend a lot of time in the outdoors and need reliability, this is the way to go.I own two Xicar lighters and have had one for decades. Outstanding quality and design. If anything ever goes wrong, their lifetime guarantee is absolutely outstanding along with their customer service. Great company!

Pros
  • Great lighter, fires up on the first click every time. Feels great in the hand.
Cons
  • The single jet flame may not be strong enough for certain outdoor conditions
