Exotac has launched a Kickstarter campaign for the fireSLEEVE, a reusable slip-on cover for an ordinary Bic classic lighter which “…turns it into an elite piece of outdoor gear.” The fireSLEEVE adds the following list of features to a Bic lighter when property installed:
– Waterproof even when submerged to 3 feet for 30 minutes
– Floats
– Protects the gas button from being pressed accidentally
– Gas lock allows lighter to stay on without holding the gas button
– Attachment points on the cap and on the body to keep you lighter from getting lost
– Retain cap on bottom of body
– Improved grip
Upon successful funding, the fireSLEEVE will be available in both Black and Orange, and will be manufactured in the USA.

Went for a green one!
How much retail price would be? Cause 20$ for a plastic case of bic lighter seems.. little bit overkill.
Then don’t buy it. It’s a Kickstarter project.
You can still get in for a pledge of only $15. Like SSD said, it’s a kickstarter so it’s more about backing a product or project that you believe in than buying something. The best way to look at it is like a pledge drive or donation to a charity, anything that you get for finding/pledging is just a bonus and not the purpose.
