Built for Wet Paper and Field Notes
Ordinary pens can fail in rain, cold, mud or dust. The Rite in the Rain BK13 mechanical pencil is designed for reliable marking on Rite in the Rain all-weather paper, where pencil lead continues to work even when the page is damp.
This makes it especially useful for field notebooks, outdoor work logs, range books, military and law enforcement notes, hiking records, forestry tasks, construction marking and emergency documentation.
Glove-Friendly Handling
The pencil features a knurled-metal grip that provides secure handling in wet, cold or dirty conditions. The click mechanism allows one-hand lead advancement, making it easier to use while wearing gloves or working outdoors.
The metal pocket clip keeps the pencil accessible on a notebook cover, pocket, pouch or field organiser.
Thick Dark Lead
The supplied specifications list a 1.3 mm dark 2B lead. This thicker lead produces bold, readable marks and is less fragile than very thin mechanical pencil leads.
It is suitable for writing on all-weather paper and can also be used for rougher marking tasks such as marking wood or similar workshop materials.
Easy Reloading
The BK13 is simple to reload. A single lead can be dropped into the shaft under the eraser cap. Replacement thick leads and clean erasers are available separately, making the pencil suitable for long-term use.
