Zippo’s diverse product line continues to grow, and now includes lighter accessories, butane multi-purpose lighters, men’s and women’s fragrances, lifestyle accessories, eyewear, and products for outdoor enthusiasts.
In a world where most products are simply disposable or available with limited warranties, the Zippo pocket lighter remains backed by its famous lifetime guarantee. In more than 85 years, no one has ever spent a cent on the mechanical repair of a Zippo pocket lighter regardless of the lighter’s age or condition. The Zippo pocket lighter is ingrained in American culture and is a global icon of durability and reliability.
More infoThe very idea of flint, i.e. flinting with suitable materials against itself, is nothing new. The principle has remained the same for centuries, the idea being to scrape one material against another and get a spark that ignites the prepared material. But in recent decades, innovative flints made from modern materials have appeared on the market.
Kindling works on the simple principle of using a highly flammable material to ignite the rest of our wood. Birch bark would be a great example of good natural kindling. You can find both a combined magnesium flint fire starter and separate solid fire starters in our offer.
Ordinary matches can be found in almost any shop. However, in Armed you can find special military matches that are waterproof, so they are also suitable for wet environments. We also offer wind-resistant matches, which are characterized by a larger combustible surface and therefore better resist being blown by the wind.
Every smoker carries at least one lighter. If you are not a smoker but you like trips outdoors, you should also have a lighter just in case. It's a useful tool for starting a fire. You will certainly choose a good lighter from our offer. We offer both cool chrome Zippo petrol lighters and outdoor gas lighters highly resistant to wind.
