Does this pen work with Rite in Rain gear - in that it writes in wet enviro, does not run, smear, etc?

The pen works great with rite in the rain gear. I use them daily together and have never had a problem!!!

Yes, the pen works great; I proved it by writing "don't know till try" on the rite in rain paper under a full stream of running tap water. The ink did not erase, run or smear when trying to rub it off.

The paper is waterproof no matter what pen or pencil you use, but the ink may not be. They recommend a fisher space pen. It works. I haven't used anything else for about 20 years. I use the NITE IZE Inka version. Sells for about $14. Writes upside down, on grease, anywhere.

Thank you for your question, Regular #2 pencils work with rite in the rain paper, and pens will work with it however many pens have water based inks and take longer to dry on this water resistant paper, rite in the rain worked with fisher space pen to formulate an ink that adheres to the paper and is not water based, these are the rite in the rain all weather pens, the standard fisher space ink seems to work well for us to although it is a slightly different formula. The cordura cover zips closed and has no pockets on the outside. The Pen is the Rite in the rain all weather pen.

Deborah; U can find waterproof ink at ur pen store or online. There is a cartridge u buy and can fill urself. All pens can be used as a dipping pen. Hope this helps.

I have written on wet paper and have rubbed it with a wet sponge. The ink stayed and wrote well. The paper gave out before the writing did.

The ink I received was not waterproof. The informative flyer that came with it said that the company does make a waterproof ink, but you have to buy it separately.

No the ink is not waterproof. But overall for the money it's a great pen with lots of extras and writes flawlessly. I love it.

I just tested on mine - I wrote with a Papermate Profile ballpoint pen and tried to smear it immediately after writing. No smear.

After reading the response from B. Curtis I would add that although it is waterproof it will not stand up to sharp edges. Mine has a couple small tears from when it snagged on chicken wire (which is needle-sharp) when removing it from the pen. I will be able to easily patch with duct tape & use again.

Mine has gotten a little wet and still works. (in light rain) But it has not been in a rainstorm.

I used mine in a race about one month ago.... It rained 4 hrs.... We got 3 inches of rain that day. It still works like new.

I don't strictly speaking know, but I guess not, because you have to remember the nib has a controlled but open fluid flow from the ink reservoir, and there's no reason water couldn't do that too. With the cap on maybe.

I have tried this pen with watercolors and had no issues. I used bristol board when I did this, may want to give the ink a good amount of hours to set before testing it out. If you look in the description, it does say that the ink IS permanent and water/ fade resistant, so unless you go super crazy with the water to the point the paper is coming apart, you should be just fine :)

It works just fine with those types of pen just try your best not to get it wet in the rain even though it is water resistant paper it can get messy. I hope this help you.

While I can't say for certain b/c I haven't used mine really since I bought it (going to write a review of it in a few moments) - it should work like any other stylus pen just without the pressure sensitivity - the battery only works for the mechanism inside the pen to convert how much pressure you're applying : )

Yes the pen's ink is waterproof. As part of my job I write outdoors a lot in all kinds of conditions. This pen fits the bill.
