storm matches

Wind-resistant fire starters

Storm matches are matches designed to stay lit in harsh conditions—high wind, rain, or wet environments.

They burn hotter and longer than regular matches, often with a waterproof coating on the head and strike surface.

Standard gear for camping, survival kits, and emergency supplies: Keep storm matches in your pack in case the lighter fails.
