5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect in Every Way
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2018
The matches arrived 5 days after ordering. The quality is phenomenal; everything from sturdiness to usability is great. They're matches, so there isn't much to say; but, they do work perfectly as far as waterproof matches go. The first thing I did when I got them was place one of the matches in water. It was totally submerged, then I tried to light it with the striker on the side of the box (they do send 2 waterproof striker strips, but the box also works). The match lit up with no problem on the first try. I was more impressed when I tried to blow the match out, because I couldn't. These things don't go out until they decide to, blowing them out doesn't seem to work unless you've got a hair dryer or something. As for the 15 second limit, this is accurate. I timed the matches and found that the absolute longest you can get is 15 - 16 seconds; however, depending on conditions, you may get down to 10 seconds, though I doubt it'll ever be less than that. All in all, these are great if you need waterproof matches, especially if you're camping or hiking.
