Windproof Zippo lighter Zippo 48569 Armor Flame Pattern design, metal refillable petrol lighter

Zippo 48569 Armor Flame Pattern is a metal refillable petrol windproof lighter featuring a heavier Armor-case construction with a flame-pattern finish. The lighter delivers a reliable spark in outdoor conditions and everyday situations, with a flip-top design that allows one-handed opening and ignition. It uses replaceable flint and wick, and is compatible with Zippo lighter fluid for refilling. The case finish shows a stylized flame motif set into the thicker Armor casing for a combination of visual detail and durable feel.

Advantages

The Armor-weight construction provides increased durability and a substantial hand feel compared with standard cases. The windproof chimney and flint-wheel ignition give consistent lighting performance in breezy conditions. Refillable petrol operation reduces disposable waste and allows long-term use with replaceable maintenance parts. The flame-pattern surface adds a textured appearance that resists everyday wear while maintaining a classic Zippo mechanism backed by the manufacturer’s lifetime repair policy.
