Well packaged and well priced these are a perfect to throw in your backpack/survival kit (depending on how hardcore you are!) if you're heading out doors. I road tested mine in high winds on a hillside in the lakes recently when i was well up for some lunch after 4hrs hiking... lit on first strike and burned despite the wind for about 10 seconds easily long enough to ignite the burner. Have yet to test in the rain however im confident they'd still perform. Great little buy

These matches do what they say on the tin, they're windproof and waterproof! Great matches, I can't fault their quality
One thing though is that the image of these matches make you believe that they're really big and thick matches, but in reality they're very thin and the same length as ordinary matches.
4 stars from me

Purchased these as most would, a just in case item for the rucksack. On testing at home: soaked two matches in a mug of water for 3/4 of an hour. Both brown head sections remained intact on the matchsticks though both were soft after soaking. Would not strike on the container. Left on sunny windowsill to dry. The head material rehardened to similar to a dry match. Neither match would strike on the container but both did on a Cooks size striker board. Where only the dark brown head burnt, leaving the longer light brown section to smoke a bit but didn`t flare. Then lit one light brown section with a normal match which then burnt but without the flare of a new dry match ( control). Lit the second dried match with an ordinary pocket gas lighter. This too burned but again without flare. Match number four was then wetted under a running tap for a few seconds, struck immediately on the supplied container, lit and flared as the control dry match. No sufficient wind to check the windproofness at this time in an outdoor situation. Fans ect being a bit strong I think. Upshot keep your matches dry ( old 35mm film containers work well with ordinary matches ) have a spare pack in a different place and or a fire steel/ gas lighter. in short cover your back!!! It`s a lot of work doing it the tradional way! Why all the above? Find out what it can do before you HAVE to findout. Have fun.

Best match I have ever used
Best match I have ever used. They have had no problems lighting in any conditions I have thrown at them. They arrived fast but considering the pack size postage seemed steep.

Matches...
Arrived very quickly at the beginning of the estimate. They are smaller than I thought originally which is good, fits well into my emergency pack. Read more

Looks better in the photo...
I just bought these as a little stocking filler for a walking enthusiast. The item arrived and looked fine- but just not as robust or nicely packaged as they do in the picture.
