The matches work great and look sick. It also comes with way more than I was expecting. 10/10

Very good product and well worth the money. I am stocked up for several months. They are lightweight and easily storable for backpackers and light gear camping. I have gone through about 10 now and I’ve had zero problem with lighting or holding a flame. I honestly have zero complaints. This is a great alternative to cotton balls, Vaseline, flint and steel.
