    I picked these up as an experiment, and in playing with them with my kids, my oldest decided to test them out. She took one, lit it, jammed it into the snow until it went out, then pulled it back out again; it lit up immediately. Then she stuck it into a cup of water, held it there for a beat, then pulled it out and it lit again. I’m convinced!

    I boght these a while back for a boy scout survival outing where we stayed out a couple of night in the desert with only what we could fit in a film canister (for those of you who dont know it is very hot during the day in arizona and very cold at night). They lit every time and stayed lit. I found out that they could be cut into peices and one match, becomes about four as long as you can find a way to strike it without burning your self. the only bad side to these are i did notice the chemicals smell more than normal matches, becuase these have more of the match head material and i found unlike normal matches it burns out once it gets to the wood, so you will have a strong burning fire for 15 seconds, but you will have to tip the match upsidedown to keep the flame going. Other than that great product and definatly worth the money for the added probability of geting a fire going. I’m not one to give out 5 stars often, but this product is so simple and effictive that it deserves it.

    The UCO Stormproof Matches are an excellent addition to your survival gear or E.D.C. kit. If you were to have only one type of match then the Stormproof matches are the ones to carry. They are windproof and will remain lit even after being completely submerged in water. The match will burn for approximately 15 seconds in windy and wet conditions. When used in conjunction with Vaseline impregnated cotton balls you have a great method to start a fire during inclement weather. These matches should only be used outdoors and would not be recommended for children as once the match is lit it won’t go out until completely burned.

    Pros:
    - Easy to use
    - Flame lasts for 15 seconds
    - Windproof AND waterproof
    - Spare strikers are included

    I really like the UCO Stormproof Matches and use them in conjunction with the UCO Stormproof Match Case Kit as it is the only case I have seen that will fit these extra large matches. Stormproof matches are larger than most matches and therefore require a larger case. Most of the cases available are designed for standard size matches will not fit the Stormproof matches.

    I highly recommend the UCO Stormproof Matches as part of your fire starting gear.
