 Does its job Aug 18, 2010
These are a good addition to a survival kit or backup for a backpacker. The lid sometimes has trouble staying closed in a backpack, but otherwise, they work great.
 Bad Review Aug 11, 2010
I don't remember where exactly I bought my Pro Force waterproof matches, but believe it was through Amazon. Mine barely work; even when lit by another flame. I was lucky I had other matches with me when we went camping last weekend. Since most reviews are good, I suspect a serious quality control problem. I too am removing them from my emergency equipment and opting for another brand.
Eh wind proof my A$$ Jul 21, 2010
I bought these around December and went camping in July, well they work and once they are lit they have some fire power but there are a few issues. One the windproof thing is a lie, I lit a match and the second it was lit a SLIGHT breeze hit me and put it out as it was burning. Second the cotton pad inside the canister I assume is there to protect the matches and prevent them from igniting actually sticks to the matches and prevents you from striking them. Third and finally you have to strike them ontop of the canister, and whatever the substance is started to peel all the way off after three or four matches were struck. I know this happens with regular old gas station packs but it peeled off large unused sections and prevented me from being able to strike any more. I have mixed feelings on this but I think I will stick with a Swedish fire starter.

 Great Idea, Bad Execution Jul 04, 2010
I bought these from a local Surplus store and the sales person was very excited to say that I could strike it, only on the provide strike pad, and once lit it could actually be submerged in water and come out still burning! He wasn't lying. The reason that I am rating this item so low is because once the phosphorus or sulfur or whatever chemical it is that burns is done it fizzles and dies and can't even catch the wooden part on fire at most you get 10 good second of burn time so I hope you have everything primed with an accelerant before you light this but then what's the point of this "wonder match"?
 ANOTHER GREAT STOCKING STUFFER!!! Jun 15, 2010
We haven't had to use these yet, but I think items like this are good to have on hand should we find ourselves in an emergency. I would imagine that people who live in "hurricane territory" could possibly benefit from these matches!
