MATCHCAP XL Waterproof Match Case

This match safe is well made and the seal extremely tight. Along with the rubber gasket in place and the striker on the side already in place, there is an additional black o-ring and two strikers inside the case. I wanted the gunmetal to add to my gear, and it is very well made. It screws quite a bit, but the threading is to provide waterproofing. It's light, easy to find in a gear bag, and hung it using a carabiner inside the bag. The place made for attachment can be good for carabiner, paracord or whatever means you want to attach the item. The base is knurled, and the bottom rough textured, both of which can be used as strikers. I put a 25 match stormproof also from UCO inside, along with it's extra strikers, all fitting snug. A test strike on the base proved to light, so the others are more backups? This is the best match case I've had, and a toss in the sink and it floats when loaded. Quality made in the USA, and inside the way the cut is for the matches holds them securely but makes for ease of access so you're not trying to pull a match from down in a tube like some others.

I have several of these that I've bought over the years. Excellent design and construction with quality materials and workmanship. They're not cheap - you can get others for much less - but you get what you pay for. If I need to start a fire, then I need it now. With these match cases, you can have full confidence that those matches are well protected and ready for use.

I hesitated to buy this in comparison to cheap plastic alternatives, but I am thrilled with this purchase! The quality is top notch. It is smaller than it looks too but still holds 10 Stormproof matches and 8 fire starting cotton tabs. Worth every dollar. I will recommend this to my backpacking buddies!

This match case is really an indulgence. It is beautifully crafted, and feels quality. It is well thought out in design as well. The shape of the 'mouth' where you take the matches out is designed to make taking them out easy. The striker is on the inside to protect it from getting wet. The contents inside are protected by the nicely machined screw cap, with an o-ring. (Extra striker(s) and o-ring are included.) An additional striker is on the base, on the exterior. Like I said, It is completly overkill, and the plastic case from Uco does the same function, just not with the same 'class'. Even the box it comes in is worthy of a 'presentation case'!! I'm happy with the expense.

Nice and sturdy case for matches, can be used for other small items. The quality is unmatched, the price might seem a little steep but these are worth it. I'm no "CODY" from the survival show, I still need matches to help me start fires in rough climates. This product is a must for some1 who likes having an "ACE in the hole" when needing a fire quickly or the climate is to difficult for other types of fire starting.

First, the negatives. If this is the XL, I'd hate to imagine how small the non-XL version is. Obviously this is not big enough to hold a single standard Titan Stormproof Match, let alone 25. As far as the positives, it's small, so it can easily fit almost anywhere in your backpack. It's well crafted, light, and genuinely waterproof. For the moment, it's turned into a very expensive pill bottle. If you want to use regular matches that aren't Stormproof, maybe you can fit 25 of them in here.

Don’t buy this. It’s too small for the large storm proof matches, and if your not carrying large matches, why bother? You can buy a water-proof container full of of storm proof Zippo or UCO matches for over half the price. With that said, if you want or use small storm proof matches, this container is fine. The container is well made and thought out.

The match case appears solid and overbuilt💪. I was disappointed it did not come filled with storm proof matches!

Die Hülse ist Top verarbeitet, qualitativ gibt es keine Mängel. Vorsicht, diese Hülse ist nicht für die UCO Hurricane Survival-Matches gedacht und für diese zu klein !!! Die UCO Stormproof Matches passen aber perfekt. Zuletzt ein Tipp, auf der deutschen ExoTac Seite gibts das Ding billiger als hier.

- tolle Qualität, Made in USA - dafür (noch) fairer Preis (Rolls-Royce unter den Streichholzbehältern) - sauber gearbeitet, keine Grate etc. - zwei Reibflächen, eine für Sicherheitszündhölzer innen, und eine für „Cowboy-matches“ draußen - abgedichtet mit O-Ring, wasserdicht zumindest für Wanderer, Jäger, Wassersport (nicht Tauchen) - zuverlässiges Gewinde - herrlich leicht - großes Füllvolumen im Vergleich zu den Plastikdingern, die sonst auf dem Markt sind - optisch sehr ansprechend - Öse für Lanyard etc. vorhanden Gefällt mir und würde ich wieder kaufen. Ggf kann man auch Medikamente, Geld oder kleinere Survivaldinge in dem matchcap-XL mitnehmen. Vielleich bestelle ich noch eines.

This is an extremely practical product, keeping a large number of matches of various types, tinder and a striker all completely dry and easily accessible. It’s also one of those items that’s been so well designed and manufactured that there is a real pleasure in just owning it.
