I bought these matches as a spare source of fire, as a supplement to a firesteel. Above all I appreciate the solid, waterproof packaging. The extra striker under the lid is a great solution. The matches burn long enough. I showed my mother-in-law how they work – she was impressed that they didn't go out even after being thrown into water.

They meet NATO specification requirements.

The set includes 25 matches stored in a waterproof, transparent container. The packaging features 3 strikers – one of which is placed under the lid, protecting it from moisture. The transparency of the container allows for quick checking of the remaining matches.

Great storm matches, burn for a long time. In my set the stick sticks out a bit, so you need to be careful with your hands, but thanks to this they burn longer. They are a bit tricky to light, but with several strikers they manage.
-
Superb. They ignite quickly and easily. Immediate fire is enough to light up everything needed. They don’t go out from the slightest breeze. The packaging is very airtight, you have to be careful not to crush it, because it’s just plastic after all – if it breaks, you’ll need to move the matches into a plastic bag.
-
Great storm matches. They contain a lot of ignition substance. The packaging is durable, not easy to damage. The extra wad of cotton wool inside is a huge plus.
-
Compact, airtight packaging with strong matches inside. They burn very well, although they burn out quite quickly. The price is relatively high, and there are only 25 pieces, which is not a large amount.
-
Airtight packaging (gasket under the lid). Strikers both outside and inside, so you can light a match even if the packaging is wet. Two lumps of cotton wool included as tinder. Lighting is quite difficult (the shape and length of the strikers doesn’t help), but once lit the match burns well: it doesn’t go out in moderate wind and light rain, I haven’t tested in a gale. Overall, very positive.
-
Very good matches – they burn well regardless of the weather, tested both in strong wind and light rain. The packaging is completely waterproof, with several strikers and cotton wool for kindling inside. They fit easily into a pocket. The only downside is the rather short burning time, but with appropriate tinder you can start a fire without any problem. I definitely recommend them.

I checked the container – it is completely waterproof. Very small packaging doesn't take up much space in a backpack or organiser. The matches burn perfectly – after all, it's a British product. I have no complaints. I recommend it.
-
I bought the matches as an additional source of fire. I tested them during light wind and rain – they burn very strongly. They're packed in a waterproof box with three strikers (one under the lid). Worth having in every EDC kit. I recommend them.
-
Excellent matches. I really like the thick ignition layer. Sturdy packaging. The set also includes cotton wool, which makes lighting up quicker. They're a good size, fit in the pocket. I recommend them.
-
Very solid storm matches, they have a lot of ignition material. The packaging is durable and resistant to cracking. The cotton wool included inside is a great advantage.
-
British product: good matches, reusable packaging, handy and small; work in all conditions, so it’s worth having them on a trip or camping. Product as described.
-
Bought as a spare source of fire. I haven't tested them in tough terrain yet, but they light up straight away and are unlikely to disappoint. Small, compact box, well closed.
-
The matches have a very large ignition surface. They burn great! Cotton wool is also included for faster fire lighting. The transparent box is made of good quality, soft plastic, which won't crack if dropped. It's always worth having a few sources of fire, and this solution is small and light, so it doesn't get in the way or weigh you down.
-
Purchased as an alternative fire source. Haven’t used them yet, but based on reviews they shouldn’t disappoint. Just put them in your backpack and forget about them, and when you need them – you’ll always find them.
