Off Grid

Top tier

This thing isn’t a pen. It’s a work of art. The craftsmanship and design take it to the next level. The design touches down to the topo map on the clip are perfection. It’s also compatible with all types of refills to meet your preferences. I’ve wanted a tactile turn pen for years. This is the perfect one. I’m glad I finally pulled the trigger.

One of the best pens ever

It’s nice to know American production still works. Great pen, feels good in your hand while using, looks awesome, plus I can’t stop fidgeting with the side button. Good job Tactile Turn.

The soft matte body truly looks like stone and contrasts with the metallic copper tip and cap. The whole pen’s cerakote finish offers a hardened protective layer but isn’t immune to scratches—the lighter colors of the body do show wear when carried with other gear rubbing against it. Not a huge problem for me, but notable for collectors. The clip is by far my favorite part, with deep topographic engravings taken from the Guadalupe Mountains in Texas. The side click mechanism is ergonomic and simple to use. The short size is great for a wide variety of refill compatibility, but the included black medium Schmidt ink leaves a bit to be desired. Again, all subject to opinion. Overall, I think the Off Grid side click pen is an absolute winner for camping/off-roading/overlanding enthusiasts who love a premium-feeling tool. Sure, spending $150 on a pen is crazy to most people, but having an heirloom piece that can be used practically on an everyday basis is really neat to have.
