I travel at least 2 weeks a month for business and needed a reliable pen to fill out customs forms. I had previously been using cheap disposable pens from hotels and conferences but found that while they seemed to write well when I took them, they somehow ceased to write when stored in my carry-on bag. I found that I kept picking up those pens until I had maybe 5 or 6 plastic hotel pens in the exterior pocket of my carry-on. If I was lucky, one of those pens might work well enough and long enough to fill out a customs form.
This pen is lightweight enough that I can carry more than one if I wanted to. It is small enough to be tossed into an interior zippered pocket of any tote I own and even fits alongside my passport.
While it is not very comfortable and the cap does not really stay securely on the pen for any vigorous writing. It's perfect in every way for a travel pen.
The cons... Primarily that the size of it is just cumbersome. It's thin and short. Writing without the cap posted on the back will be tough. But even when you do post the cap, it doesn't hold well to provide the sturdy length you need. Add that to writing on a tiny, ultralight pocket notebook like mentioned above, and you're gonna struggle to read your own handwriting when you go home and try to reminisce on your trip. And something tells me that out in the woods you won't have a desk to sit and write at either, which would help further remedy the situation.
I rate this a firm 2.5 stars but round up for Amazon's standards out of 5 stars. The pros and cons are such a split that it falls right in the middle. By the way, it's not a cheap pen, either. I'd love to see Fisher design something that falls in at no more than one ounce in weight but is much more ergonomically fitting than this.
The only issue I’ve had is that the pen has worked its way out of the cap a few times and stayed behind in my pocket (hence the 1/2 star it lost in my rating). I have started carrying the notebook with the pen upside down to avoid this problem. The clip on the cap holds the pen very securely and it has never worked its way out of the holder carrying it this way. I would have opted for the clipless option if I was going to carry it in a kit or tin. It writes perfectly just as any other Fisher cartridge I’ve used in the past. I am overall very happy with my Stowaway and it is a permanent part of my EDC.
