Hi everyone,

Do you have any experience with the new (I don't actually know when they introduced them) UCO stormproof matches and how they compare to the NATO and the REI ones?

Thanks

I like these:

Because it is light and compact, and effective I like slipping some of this into the pack of matches:

The Best Glide folks are pretty good. Check out the rest of their site. Lots of good stuff.

Those are REI matches, just different verbiage on the box.

As Desperado said, they are the same as the REI ones just made under the UCO name. They work great, I put them in the survival kits I build under my company name because to me they are the best storm matches on the market.
