PARKER VECTOR REVIEW
One of the first features that consumers will notice about the Parker Vector is its price. At just under $20, this fountain pen stands out simply because of how incredibly affordable it is. The result is that this pen is available to almost anyone, regardless of their budget. What may not be as evident at first glance, however, is how much quality consumers get for that low price. While the body of the pen is made of plastic that can feel cheap and gives the Vector a very lightweight feel, the pen is actually constructed to look beautiful and write reliably. For instance, the pen sports a huge variety of colors, accented by a striking arrow-shaped clip. In addition, the pen is elongated, with a barrel-shaped body and cigar band to add elegance and appeal to the pen’s appearance.
Because of its low price, the Parker Vector is ideal for anyone looking for an inexpensive fountain pen. This includes beginners to fountain pens who want to get their feet wet with a pen that is not a significant investment, those who are on a tight budget, and those who are looking for an affordable addition to an existing fountain pen collection. Also because of its low price, in addition to its reliable performance, the Vector is a good choice for anyone wanting a pen they can use every day or carry around without worrying about causing damage. Finally, its stylish appearance makes it an elegant addition to anyone’s desk or pen collection.
