The Tactiv Bolt Action Pen is loaded with Rite-In-The-Rain® permanent ink that can write underwater and in extreme weather conditions for temperatures ranging from -30°F to 250°F.
Everyone has their preferences when it comes to stationery. The most important aspect of a pen for me is its ink flow, I like it just right – somewhere between a ballpoint and fountain tip. Everything from the weight of a pen, to the way it grips influences the writing experience. Taking inspiration from the rugged and long-lasting M16A4 Series 5.56mm Rifle, the Tactiv Bolt Action Pen is a weighty, waterproof EDC pen built for the most extreme of conditions.
Whether you’re a field journalist or a Wilderness First Responder (WFR), a waterproof pen could come in handy on a daily basis. The Tactiv Bolt Action Pen is loaded with Rite-In-The-Rain® permanent ink that can write underwater and in extreme weather conditions for temperatures ranging from -30°F to 250°F. The bolt action trigger also dislodges and retracts the pen tip in a clean, quick swoop to echo the feel of loading a rifle – simply, push, turn, and release. The premium housing for the pen is also built from a hefty combination of aluminum, stainless steel, and polished copper, offering the same tactile experience of the rifle it was inspired by, the M16A4 Series 5.56mm Rifle. Built from aluminum, stainless steel, and polished copper, the Tactiv Bold Action Pen is designed for the outdoors.
Similar to the rifle it was inspired by, the Tactiv Bold Action Pen’s quick-release trigger mimics the flow of loading a rifle. The non-slip, gritty grip allows for a firm grasp so even in torrential rain, the Tactiv Bolt Action Pen won’t fall from your hands. The Tactiv Bold Action Pen is loaded with Rite-In-The-Rain® permanent ink for waterproof writing. This EDC pen is perfect for long writing sessions under unpredictable weather conditions and the secure pocket clip allows for users to tuck their pen away after long writing sessions.
The build of the Tactiv Bold Action Pen is similar to conventional pens, but the durable nature of its build is what sets it apart. The tactile of holding the Tactiv Bold Action Pen is similar to that of the M16A4 Series 5.56mm Rifle.
Then, when the writing is finished, users can tuck the pen away using the secure, stainless steel pocket grip. As described by the designers, the Tactiv Bolt Action Pen was, “machined with robust aircraft-grade aluminum, a stainless steel pocket clip, and a copper ink cartridge,” to build a pen that was designed for wild terrain and extreme weather.
