How does ZIPPO protect against wind?

The 16-hole windproof design of the ZIPPO lighter is designed to improve combustion stability in strong outdoor winds, ensuring smoother ignition, rather than completely unaffecting the flame. While the windproof structure effectively resists ambient wind, strong airflow (such as blowing directly from the mouth) can still cause the flame to go out. This sudden strong wind can remove heat and prevent sustained combustion. To ensure the best user experience, it is recommended to light the lighter under normal conditions to avoid artificial strong blowing that may affect flame stability.
