The ZIPPO 207 Satin Chrome Windproof Lighter combines the familiar Zippo design with a subtle satin finish that gives the case a smooth, understated appearance. The classic rectangular case is finished in Satin Chrome across all sides, creating a refined look while retaining the practical design that has made Zippo lighters widely recognised.
The genuine Zippo windproof design uses a chimney to help protect the flame from wind, making it suitable for use in outdoor conditions where conventional disposable lighters can be unreliable. The lighter is refillable and designed for continued use with Zippo lighter fuel, flints and wicks. Its distinctive Zippo click and hinged lid are also part of the familiar Zippo operating experience.
The lighter is supplied in a gift box and is made in the USA. It is supplied unfilled and requires Zippo lighter fuel for operation.

The ZIPPO 207 Satin Chrome is a straightforward choice for anyone looking for a genuine refillable Zippo with the classic windproof design and a more subdued finish. Its compact size makes it practical to carry, while the refillable construction allows it to remain in service rather than being discarded after the fuel is exhausted.
A Zippo works in the cold: A butane lighter is affected by altitude, and if it gets cold or wet, it may not work at all. Matches are unreliable.
A Zippo can work with gasoline. If there is an internal combustion engine somewhere around, chances are you can fuel your lighter.
Durable design: Unlike many butane lighters, the Zippo design protects all the weaker parts. A Zippo can handle being stepped on, dropped or being stomped into the mud. If the lighter is sealed with a piece of bicycle tubing, it is waterproof. A butane lighter, such as my beloved BIC minis, could be disabled by dropping them in cold water, or by getting a grain of sand in the sparker.
One handed operation: You can light a Zippo with your weak hand, even if your other arm is broken and immobilized. You could put the lighted Zippo under a pile of twigs, and have enough time to dry out the tinder.
There are a few tips that can improve your Zippo for survival use.
“As a backup emergency fire starting system when carrying and using a Zippo lighter…remove the fiber from the bottom of it and replace it by stuffing it tightly with pure cotton. Then should you run out of lighter fluid, you just simply open up the bottom and pull out some of the cotton, not much, and place it near the flint spark wheel and PRESTO! You got fire just like a Spark-Lite Fire Starter.”
Put spare flints and wick in the fuel reservoir area: Take off the thick felt cover on the bottom, and put several flints on top. Remove enough stuffing that a wick will fit. Neither of these modifications will affect lighter efficiency.
Seal lighter with duct tape or a piece of bicycle tube: This will slow, but not stop evaporation.
Check the lighter every time before you go out. This action will assure you have at least one ignition source that should work.
Carry charcloth: Charcloth is a material that can catch any spark, and create an ember. This can be used to make a fire with a dysfunctional lighter. As long as it sparks, any lighter can be used to start a fire.
