The selling point is its pressurized cartridge. Rite in the Rain says it writes in rain, under water and upside down, and that its own ink won't skip in very wet conditions. ## Rite in the Rain No. 92 specs **Rite in the Rain lists the black No. 92 (BK92) at 3.25 in closed, 5.25 in open and 0.4375 in across, with a 0.8 mm black cartridge.** | Spec | No. 92 (BK92) | |---|---| | Closed length | 3.25 in (83 mm) | | Open, cap posted | 5.25 in (133 mm) | | Diameter | 0.4375 in (11.1 mm) | | Weight | 0.05 lb (about 23 g), per Rite in the Rain | | Point | 0.8 mm, black ink | | Cartridge | Pressurized; refills n/a | | Temperature | -30 °F to 250 °F (-34 to 121 °C) | | Under water | To 35 ft (10.7 m) | | UPC | 632281100683 | | Made in | U.S.A. | Knivesandtools lists 13.5 cm (5.3 in) open, 11.3 mm across and 15 g (0.5 oz), close to the maker's figures; Rite in the Rain gives the weight only as 0.05 lb. ![Rite in the Rain No. 92 drawn to scale closed at 83 mm and posted at 133 mm, next to a Fisher Space Pen Bullet at 96 mm closed](https://stationerytimes.com/images/rite-in-the-rain-no-92-pocket-pen-sizes.svg) *Closed, the No. 92 is 13 mm shorter than a closed Fisher Bullet.* ## How does the convertible cap work? **The cap pulls off the tip and snaps onto the back end, adding about 2 in (50 mm) of length.** That's how a 3.25 in pen writes like a 5.25 in one. Closed, there's no clip, so it rides loose in a pocket, a bag or a notebook's elastic loop. Buyers on Amazon praise how it fits front pockets without poking through clothes. ## Can you refill the No. 92? **No: Rite in the Rain lists refills as n/a, so you replace the pen when it runs dry.** Amazon's review summary also notes that the cartridge isn't replaceable. If you want a refillable all-weather pen, Rite in the Rain also makes metal clicker pens such as the No. 97, and sells a separate No. 37R black refill. ## Rite in the Rain No. 92 vs Fisher Space Pen **Both are short pressurized pocket pens; the No. 92 is lighter plastic and disposable, the Fisher Bullet is metal and refillable.** | | No. 92 | [Fisher Space Pen Bullet](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/fisher-space-pen-bullet/) | |---|---|---| | Body | Plastic | Metal | | Closed / posted | 83 / 133 mm | 96 / 136 mm | | Refill | None | Fisher pressurized refill | | Made in | USA | USA | | Price band, per pen | $$ | $$$ | Our [best pocket pens](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-pocket-pens/) roundup compares more short pens. To match it, Rite in the Rain's [No. 135 notebook](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/rite-in-the-rain-no-135/) is the classic pocket pad. ## How much does the No. 92 cost? **About US$8.50 a pen: Rite in the Rain listed the 2-pack at US$16.95 on October 23, 2026.** That puts it in our $$ band ($5–20). The black 2-pack (BK92) had 2,597 Amazon US ratings averaging 4.6 stars the same day. Rite in the Rain also sells the pen in orange, green and tan barrels, all with black ink. ## Who is the No. 92 for? **Anyone who writes outdoors or on a job site.** Rite in the Rain's Amazon listing says it writes through water, grease and mud, and that the cap and barrel survive toolboxes and backpacks. It pairs naturally with waterproof paper, since a pen that writes wet is little use on a page that turns to pulp. On ordinary paper it's simply a short, cheap pressurized pen. ## Where is the Rite in the Rain pocket pen made? **In the USA: Rite in the Rain's spec table says "Manufactured: U.S.A."** GP Knives and Knivesandtools list the United States too. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you refill a Rite in the Rain No. 92 pocket pen?
