I haven't really tested these matches in real conditions yet but at first glance they seem to do the job. The box is less robust than the higher-end equivalent sold on the site, but it's also lighter. I recommend bringing something else to light the fire with you in addition to the matches, for example in the cap.
25 storm matches that will not go out in even strong winds. The matches are hidden in a round, airtight box.
They burn with a very intense flame for up to 10 seconds.

Matches are really great quality – I poured water into the sink, lit a match, immersed it, and the flame was still holding underwater. After taking it out, it was still burning, the material they are made from is not afraid of water. Reminds me of the smell of fireworks. I definitely recommend both the matches and the Militaria.pl shop.

Good matches for emergencies as a backup source of fire. Work great in extreme weather conditions – nothing stops them. I added an extra striker inside, everything is fine. Recommended.

Storm matches that don't go out even under water or in strong wind. A good alternative for lighting fires. Worth trying them occasionally to see how they work. However, the packaging is thin and easy to damage, and the striker on the lid may stop working after contact with water. Plus for the cotton wool inside. I recommend, but it's worth changing the box.

BCB survival matches bought for tougher times—I hope I won't need them, unless for trips to the forest. The price isn’t low, but if lighters fail, only matches and a fire-steel remain. Recommended.

The matches resemble miniature flares when burning. They burn for a few seconds, giving enough time to light the necessary items. They fulfil their function as expected.
-
Decent matches, well protected against moisture. Worth having just in case—for lighting a fire, better than a lighter.
-
Great matches and a handy, small container is a big advantage. Recommended.
-
Really good, they don’t go out easily.
-
I recommend them as a permanent part of your gear for trips out of town or to your allotment. Very solid matches.
-
They don't go out even after being submerged in water. Recommended.
-
Ideal for a backpack or BIS, very useful.
-
I definitely recommend—packed densely, protected with cotton wool from rattling around in the container. Solid, waterproof container.
-
Good, solid product, I've got two packs 'just in case'.
-
Nice product, works reliably.
