    Nearly indestructible and completely waterproof, the Exotac MatchCap™ Survival match case ensures your fire starting materials stay dry and secure while you're outdoors.

    • Rugged 6061 anodized-aluminum case has a concealed O-ring that keeps moisture out; case is waterproof to a depth of 16.4 ft. (5m)
    • Case is sized to hold matches up to 2.8 in. (72mm) in length, which allows you to stow standard kitchen matches or long stormproof matches (sold separately)
    • Red phosphorus striker used with strike-on-box matches is located underneath the the cap where it will stay dry
    • Ignite strike-anywhere matches on the striker on the bottom of the case or on the knurled exterior of the case
    • Red phosphorus and strike-anywhere striker pads each offer about 10 - 20 strikes; pads are replaceable
    • Case includes extra O-rings, extra match strikers, a lanyard and an instruction manual
    • The inside of the MatchCap case is larger at the bottom so you can fit more matches if you place the majority of them tip down and few tip up
    • Don't overfill the Exotac MatchCap™ Survival match case; leave approximately a quarter of the volume empty for optimal use

    Made in USA.

      Comments about Exotac MatchCap Survival Match Case:

      I own several of these Match Boxes. They are the best quality I've found. You can order replacement strikers for the "Strike on Box" type matches. Capacity is small but for Weekend trips, Everyday use + Emergency GO Bag they are great. Well made, reliable protection for your matches and supporting a USA company with great designs gives me pride in purchasing and using this product. I would recommend to a friend with no hesitation.

        Comments about Exotac MatchCap Survival Match Case:

        A very nice match safe to keep with your camping gear or emergency kit. I usually try to carry 3 sources of fire in the backcountry, & this really does the trick for matches.
