UCO Survival Stormproof Matches

UCO Survival Stormproof Matches are compact windproof and waterproof fire starters designed to ignite in harsh weather and relight after full submersion in water. Each sealed bag contains 10 matches measuring 2.125 inches (5.4 cm) in length, with a burn time of up to 12 seconds per match.

Reliable Ignition When Conditions Turn Against You

A fire starter that fails in wind or rain is no fire starter at all. UCO Survival Stormproof Matches are built to light in the conditions that matter most: high wind, driving rain, or after an unexpected dunking. The ability to relight after submersion means a dropped or soaked match is not necessarily a lost one, which matters when dry alternatives are not available.

Compact Enough to Stash Anywhere

At 2.125 inches long, these matches take up almost no room in a kit, pocket, or pack. The sealed bag keeps moisture out during storage, so the matches are ready when needed rather than degraded from weeks or months of carry. Their size makes them practical to tuck into a survival kit, first aid bag, or vehicle emergency pouch as a low-weight backup ignition source.

Broad Ignition Range

UCO Survival Stormproof Matches light campfires, camp stoves, and gas barbecues. Having a single compact fire-starting option that works across fuel types reduces the need to carry multiple ignition tools for different situations.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

UCO Survival Stormproof Matches suit hikers, paddlers, cyclists, and overlanders who want a compact, weather-resistant backup ignition source for campfires, stoves, and gas barbecues. The sealed bag and small footprint make them a practical addition to a survival kit, vehicle emergency kit, or pack.

Each bag contains 10 matches; buyers needing a larger supply for extended trips or group use will need multiple bags. These are matches: a consumable ignition source that is not reusable once struck.

Common Questions

Will these matches actually relight after being submerged in water?

UCO Survival Stormproof Matches are designed to relight after submersion in water. This makes them more resilient than standard matches in wet conditions, though performance depends on the match being struck on a functional striker surface after drying briefly.

How long do UCO Survival Stormproof Matches burn?

Each UCO Survival Stormproof Match burns for up to 12 seconds. That extended burn time gives more opportunity to catch tinder or a stove burner compared to a standard match, which is particularly useful in wind or when working with damp fuel.

What can these matches light?

UCO Survival Stormproof Matches are suitable for lighting campfires, camp stoves, and gas barbecues. Their windproof and waterproof design makes them usable across a range of outdoor ignition tasks where a standard match would struggle.

How many matches come in a bag?

Each sealed bag of UCO Survival Stormproof Matches contains 10 matches. The sealed bag is designed to keep moisture out during storage and carry, preserving the matches until they are needed.
