The Inka Pen Writes Everywhere

Inka Corp.

The Bottom Line

A wonderful gadget and terrific gift for the person who has everything. It’s a must for anyone who likes to make quick notes ‘before they forget,” whether they’re walking a dog in the rain, roped and climbing a cliff, or on the chairlift at a ski resort taking notes during a phone call.
Pros
  • It works no matter where you are using it and in any weather conditions
  • It hooks onto backbacks, dive gear, climbing gear and more with an O ring
  • It can be converted into a full-size pen and has a PDA stylus

  • It’s so small that if you drop it in a purse or backpack you’ll have to fish around to find it.

Description

Guide Review - Travel Gear -- Inka Pen

The Inka Pen is a really neat and extremely useful gadget. When closed, the Inka Pen is just 3-inches long and has a split ring, so you can hook it to a BC vest while diving, a backpack, or anywhere else you want to so it’s easily reachable. It does write underwater, and upside down, but it’s got many more uses. You can count on it to work when you’re hanging on a rope while climbing a cliff or need to make a fast note while you’re hiking in the rain.
