Still pricey for 50 matches but they do work well.
Durability: As with any match, the key to durability is choking up on the match while lighting. Complaints that these match’s break easy are from those that are not using leverage while striking. (Holding any match from the bottom and striking the tip can result in breaking it)
Functionality:
•these work fully submerged and retain a flame when removed from water
•usable during rain
• if they become wet, they can be dried and work without loss of function
Cons:
Limited function/price: (kind of). when backpacking, kayak camping, or other situations where I’m guaranteed to encounter water these come in at a phenomenal price. For my average night in the woods I’ll be using a more affordable method of ignition.
These work great! They burned for longer than a moment and caught the kindling on fire just like that! I actually had to take the box away from my friend he was having so much fun. Absolutely I would recommend them for anyone going into the great outdoors.
As it is I'll have to buy more, since when we got back I noticed a box was mysteriously missing....
