Excellent quality match that works very well in water and in humid situations. The case is sturdy and well sealed, although a little heavier than its slightly cheaper counterpart on the site. I recommend supplementing it with an ignition device to start the fire.

Good quality matchstick and case as well. Heavier than the equivalent sold on the site a bit cheaper but seems more robust. I recommend taking some material to start a fire for example in the cap.
-
I bought these matches as a backup fire source, to complement my firesteel. I especially appreciate the solid, waterproof container. The extra striker under the cap 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.

Great storm matches, burn for a long time. In my set, the stick sticks out a bit so you have to be careful with your hands, but it also means they burn longer. They ignite a bit weakly, but with the extra strikers they work.
-
Amazing. They light up quickly and easily. The instant flame is enough to ignite anything you need. They don't go out from just anything. The packaging is very tight—you need to be careful not to crush it, since it's just plastic. If it breaks, you should move the matches into a plastic bag.
-
Great storm matches. They contain a lot of igniting substance. The container is durable, not easily damaged. The extra cotton inside is a huge plus.
-
Compact, sealed package with strong matches inside. They burn excellently, although they burn out rather quickly. The price is relatively high, and 25 pieces is not a large quantity.
-
The packaging is tight (gasket under the cap). There are strikers both outside and inside, so you can light a match even if the packaging is wet. Two tufts of cotton are included as kindling. Lighting is rather difficult (the shape and length of the strikers don't make it easier), but once lit, the match burns strongly: it doesn't go out in moderate wind and light rain, though I didn't test it in a gale. Overall, very positive.
-
Very good matches – they burn great regardless of the weather, tested in both strong wind and light rain. The container is completely waterproof, with several strikers and cotton for tinder inside. No problem fitting in the pocket. The only drawback is the relatively short burn time, but with proper tinder you can light a fire without any issues. Definitely recommend.
-
I checked the container—it is completely watertight. Very small package, doesn't take up much space in a backpack or organizer. The matches burn excellently—after all, it's a British product. No complaints. I recommend.
-
I bought the matches as an extra fire source. Tested them in light wind and rain—they burn very strongly. They are packed in a waterproof box with three strikers (one under the cap). Worth having in every EDC kit. I recommend.
-
Excellent matches. I really like the thick ignition layer. Solid container. The set also includes cotton wool, which accelerates fire starting. Good size, fits in the pocket. I recommend.
-
Very solid storm matches, they have a lot of igniting mass. The container is durable and resistant to cracking. The included cotton inside is a big advantage.
-
British product: good matches, reusable packaging, handy and small; they work in all conditions, so it’s worth having them on a trip or camping. The product matches the description.

Bought as a backup fire source. I haven't had the chance to test them in rough terrain yet, but they ignite immediately and probably won't let you down. Small, compact box that closes tightly.
