MISSION

The MATCHCAP is a nearly indestructible waterproof match case for storing matches and other fire starting material.  By integrating the red-phosphorus striker into the threaded are of the capsule, Exotac created an innovative solution for having to pack separate match strikers.  To ensure the match case was going to be the best out there, Exotac added a concealed o-ring, durable square threads, a bottom strike-anywhere striker, and a high-end aesthetic to bring it all together.

THE ESSENTIALS

The MATCHCAP can carry all sizes of matches from the standard kitchen strike-on-the-box to NATO lifeboat matches and even the extended length stormproof matches.  With the dual-striker design you can use safety matches, strike-anywhere matches, or a combination of the two.  An O-ring keeps both the matches and the red phosphorus (strike-on-the-box) striker dry.

TIP

The inside of the MATCHCAP is larger at the bottom.  Place the majority of your matches tip down with a few tip-up for maximum capacity.

Caution:
Do NOT overfill the MATCHCAP. Leave approximately 1/4 of the volume empty. When using the phosphorus striker on the top of the MATCHCAP use some common sense and strike from the top (the opening) towards the O-ring. If possible cover the opening of MATCHCAP with your thumb when striking your match.  
This will prevent any stray sparks from entering the inside of the MATCHCAP.
