A SMALL, OUTDOOR SPECIALIST RETAILER, OWNED BY A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT TESTER
These Kombat UK waterproof matches are brilliant backup fire lighting for when conditions get tough. This 4-box pack uses a non-toxic chemical blend that's formulated to light even in wet conditions. At £2.14, they're essential kit for anyone who takes fire lighting seriously - whether you're camping, bushcrafting, or building an emergency kit.
These aren't your ordinary household matches - they're specifically designed to work when regular matches would fail. The non-toxic chemical blend means they'll strike and light even when damp, making them perfect for British weather. They're not storm matches, so they won't burn through a hurricane, but they'll get your fire going when everything's a bit soggy.
Every good fire kit needs multiple methods, and waterproof matches are the reliable backup when your ferro rod gets lost or your lighter runs out of fuel. They're simple, foolproof, and work exactly like normal matches - just with the added confidence that a bit of moisture won't ruin your day. Great for lighting tinder, candles, or getting your camp stove going.
You get four boxes in this pack, which gives you plenty of matches for multiple trips or to spread around different kits. Keep one box in your day pack, another in your car emergency kit, one at home, and a spare in your main camping gear. Having matches in multiple locations means you're never caught without reliable fire starting capability.
The non-toxic chemical blend means these are safe to use around food preparation and won't give off nasty fumes when you light them. Important when you're cooking over an open fire or lighting a camp stove in your tent porch. They burn cleanly and don't leave unpleasant residues on your hands or equipment.
