The packaging says 'perfect match' and I think these matches really are perfect. They have a lot of striking material, the cap secures the contents well because it is equipped with a gasket. Importantly, inside under the caps we have an extra striker, which will obviously stay dry if dropped in water. 100% satisfaction with the product.

Aesthetically packaged box of matches. The matches themselves are thick with a large amount of igniting material. Cotton included in the set. The striker is placed in several places both inside and outside the packaging.
-
Very good storm matches. They have a lot of combustible material. Good packaging that doesn't break easily. The extra piece of cotton in the package is also a big plus.
-
A high-quality match that works perfectly both in water and in humid environments. The casing is strong and truly sealed, although a bit heavier than the cheaper version from this site. It's worth considering purchasing a lighter to start a fire.
-
The match and its casing are made of good quality materials. It is a bit heavier than the model offered on the website, costs less, but seems more durable. I recommend having a bit of tinder with you, for example, placed in the cap.
-
I bought these matches as an additional fire source, a supplement to a firesteel. The packaging seems very solid and waterproof. The extra striker under the cap is a great idea. The matches burn long enough. I showed my mother-in-law how they work. She was amazed they don't go out even if thrown into water.
-
Very good storm matches, they burn for a long time. In my box the stick barely sticks out so you have to watch your fingers, but they burn longer. It's a bit hard to light them but three strikes will do.
-
Brilliant. They light well and quickly. The flame they give easily ignites most things you want to light. They don't go out for no reason. Well and tightly packed. You need to be careful not to crush the box or whatever it's called because it's only plastic. It will crack and that's it. You'll need to put the matches into a sealed plastic bag.

Very good storm matches. They have a lot of ignition material. Good packaging that doesn't break easily. The extra piece of cotton in the package is also a big plus.
-
Tightly compact package with powerful matches inside. They burn very well, but also quite quickly. They're relatively expensive, and 25 pieces is not that many.
-
A tight container (gasket under the cap). Strikers on the container and under the cap, which allows you to light a match even if the container gets wet. Two pieces of cotton were added as kindling. It's rather difficult to strike (the shape and length of the striker don't make it easy), but once lit, it burns: it doesn't go out in moderate wind or light rain, I haven't tested in a storm. Generally great.
-
Literally fantastic matches. They burn great regardless of weather conditions; I tested them in strong wind and light rain. The box with the matches is completely waterproof with many strikers, and also includes wool as kindling inside. The matches fit in a pocket. The only minus might be the burning time of such a match, as it is quite short, but with proper kindling, there will be no problem lighting a fire in that time. Highly recommended.
-
The container with the matches inside, which I tested, is 100% waterproof. The miniature packaging doesn't take up much space in your backpack or organizer. As for the matches, they burn very well, after all, it's a British product. I have no complaints about this product. I recommend it.
-
Matches bought as a backup fire source. Tested in light wind and rain. They burn fiercely. Packed in a waterproof container. The box has three strikers, including one under the lid. A must-have in every EDC kit. I recommend.
-
Great matches. What I like most is the really thick ignition layer. Good packaging. The kit also includes cotton for faster fire starting. They are a good size and fit in your pocket. Recommended.
