It's easy for UCO to say their Stormproof Matches burn through windy and wet conditions. That they'll burn for 25 seconds regardless of the gusts or downpours they're in. That they're so waterproof the matches will still burn after being dunked, and held, underwater.
Easy to say.
But such Stormproof Match claims require Stormproof Match proof. I want some demo videos. And then I want UCO - or someone - to isolate and extract just the proof-y bits for those of us who can't wait 2-1/2 minutes to see a match stay lit in the wind and relight after it's gotten wet. The proof should take no longer than 10 seconds. And eliminate the audio while you're at it. I'm in a public place and don't want my phone blasting with the sound of a striking match set to Springsteen's "I'm on Fire."
In other words, GIF please.
Huh. Looks like the Stormproof Matches work. Well done, UCO.
UCO's Titan Stormproof Matches come in packs of 25, with extra strikers. Each is 4.125" long, and promises to stay lit underwater and in gale force winds.
