Stormproof Matches are windproof, waterproof, light up quickly and consistently in driving rain, heavy winds, and falling snow with a burn time of up to 15 seconds-plus they will relight after being submerged in water. Each kit includes 25 Stormproof Matches, 3 strikers, and a cotton ball inside a waterproof case that floats. The waterproof, durable ABS plastic case can hold up to 40 Stormproof Matches (alternate the match tips with some facing up and some facing down) for longer trips for when you need the added security to build a fire. Being able to reliably make a fire is vital for cooking, generating warmth, and in survival situations, making signal fires. UCO Stormproof Matches are perfect for camping, emergency kits, and should be part of every 10 Essentials check list. If a match becomes wet, just wipe dry before use. If a striker becomes wet, the striker will not work, but needs to dry first so that the surface is once again firm, so use a spare striker (2 spares included) until then. Matches and strikers will last for many years as long as they remain dry and protected from the elements inside the waterproof case or inside a sealed plastic bag. Easily refill your Stormproof Match Kit with UCO Stormproof Matches sold in single (25 matches) or twin-packs (50 matches). Length of match: 2.75 inches (7 cm); Kit Weight: 1.7 oz. (48 g). Designed in Seattle, Made in India. 1-year manufacturer's warranty. Review: Perfect product - Perfect Amazing product Continue to walk even when I drop it in water Review: A potentially lifesaving product for a very low price -- the case & match design are both excellent & the price is reasonable! - These rock! They are reasonably priced and they perform very well. Matches are a must-have for so many reasons. One of them is emergency preparedness. These UCOs are a great candidate for this Likewise, they are also great for camping, marine usage, and general outdoor activities requiring fire. The overall quality design and reasonable price of the UCO makes this kit suitable for the above and other "mission-critical" applications. The design of case is excellent. A waterproof case is a huge plus for storage. This not only makes the matches waterproof in terms of submersion, but also prevents them from humidity damage. I think protection against humidity damage is even more important, given these products often wind up being stored for years, and how prolonged humidity can make matches useless. The case itself uses a threading that is strong so it does not strip, and is the perfectly sized so that the matches are not crushed but also do not have so much headroom that they can bounce up and down and crack off the starter materials...so these can survive impact really well. The case is textured to get a good grip even when wet or oily, where as an all-smooth case would be very slippery in that scenario. The striker is durable and stands up to the elements -- it also can be changed out when it wears or if it were damaged. Then we get to the matches. These are really good matches and the kind of matches you want if you may find yourself in a situation in which being able to make a fire is the critical element (possibly even the key to survival.) They light easily, they are thick so they resist breaking. They will light in bad weather. And they give you 15+ seconds of a useful flame, which is a plus if you have to light shavings that are not quite dried out or are starting a fire in rain/snow and need a strong and lasting flame. So overall, this an inexpensive tool that could play a key role in wellbeing (and possibly even survival.) Most everyone can benefit from having at least one of these on-hand in the case of an emergency. ## Features - Waterproof container includes 25 matches and spare strikers - Integrated striker located on outside of match container - Matches burn for about 15 seconds - Matches burn despite wind or rain - Matches will burn underwater ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00773VVHO | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,076 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #16 in Matches | | Brand Name | UCO | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (9,907) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00054269000356 | | Included Components | UCO - MT-SM-CONT | | Item Dimensions | 3 x 2 x 2 inches | | Item Type Name | UCO - MT-SM-CONT | | Item Weight | 0.12 Grams | | Manufacturer | Industrial Revolution | | Manufacturer Part Number | Orange | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | Orange | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | UPC | 054269000356 | | Unit Count | 25.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** UCO - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00054269000356 - **Included Components:** UCO - MT-SM-CONT - **Item Weight:** 0.12 Grams - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 3 x 2 x 2 inches - **Manufacturer:** Industrial Revolution - **Material:** Plastic - **Number of Pieces:** 1 - **UPC:** 054269000356 ## Images ![UCO Stormproof Match Kit with Waterproof Case, 25 Stormproof Matches and 3 Strikers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BJYQpXCML.jpg) ![UCO Stormproof Match Kit with Waterproof Case, 25 Stormproof Matches and 3 Strikers - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mTxOT+XtL.jpg) ![UCO Stormproof Match Kit with Waterproof Case, 25 Stormproof Matches and 3 Strikers - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91nMUznE8qL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will the matches still work if the striker pad gets wet?** A: No, but they come with four or five extra strikers. I've never tried to wet a striker and then let it dry out to see if it works again. **Q: Does it expire? How long is the shelf life before it doesn't spark up?** A: If the strike pad is inside the container and the container remains sealed, the Match Kit will continue to function well into the next couple of decades. I have had several similar purchased in the 80's that are still like new. **Q: are these matches strike anywear matches?** A: There are no "stormproof" strike-anywhere matches available. However, UCO makes excellent regular strike anywhere matches. With a quick dip in turpentine, nail polish or wax, you can make excellent water-resistant strike-anywhere matches.I also like to include some of the coated strike-anywhere matches with my stromproof matches. This way, should all my strikes become wet, you can use a strike anywhere match to light up a stromproof match!And btw, if you can swing the price, ($28, very reasonable, when you see the quality,) check out K&M matchcases. They're waterproof to 2,000psi, easily open with cold, stiff or injured hands, and have a very high quality button compass installed. I'm tight with a buck, but the K&M's quality is unbelievably high. **Q: Can you tell me the longest match length this container will hold? Thank you** A: I just measured the container it is 2 7/8" long so i would say 2 3/4" is the longest length of match you could fit in this container. Hope that helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect product *by L***H on March 12, 2026* Perfect Amazing product Continue to walk even when I drop it in water ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A potentially lifesaving product for a very low price -- the case & match design are both excellent & the price is reasonable! *by Z***S on October 13, 2014* These rock!
