Zippo lighter

Why choose Zippo?

Choose Zippo for its reliable, windproof flame, rugged design, low-maintenance mechanism and iconic style that has stood the test of time. A Zippo lighter is not only a reliable EDC tool for everyday use, but also an iconic collector's item that reflects exceptional craftsmanship and personality.

Windproof and built to last

The secret to a Zippo’s performance lies in its wick, wind guard and Zippo flints. The wick draws fuel from the internal reservoir and is lit by the flint wheel. A metal wind guard surrounds the wick, ensuring the flame stays alight even in strong winds. Simple mechanics, yet extremely effective. You don’t need to be a technical expert to maintain a Zippo or make basic repairs wherever you are. This is why it remains a favourite among outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who values a reliable lighter.

A wide range of series and styles

Zippo is available in a wide variety of designs, from timeless classics to striking limited editions and tactical gift sets. Whether you prefer brass, chrome, copper or a matt black finish, every model has its own distinctive character and feel. Inserts such as the Butane Single Torch and Double Torch also add extra versatility. Whatever your style or intended use, there's a Zippo to suit you, whether you need a dependable lighter for everyday carry or a standout piece for your collection.

The history of Zippo

Zippo was founded in 1932 in Bradford, Pennsylvania, by George G. Blaisdell. He wanted to create a lighter that was reliable, windproof and easy to use. The first model immediately introduced the features that would become iconic: a metal body, a hinged lid and the distinctive clicking sound when opened. During the Second World War, Zippo supplied lighters to the US military, helping the brand gain worldwide recognition. After the war, Zippo developed into a collector's item and lifestyle product. Limited Editions, engravings and special series transformed each Zippo into a unique piece of design and engineering. Today, the brand combines tradition with innovation through developments such as Butane and Arc inserts, and Zippo remains a favourite among adventurers, collectors and anyone who appreciates a dependable flame.
