Match Vaults

Match Vaults — Waterproof Storage for Matches & Strikers

Protect waterproof and regular matches from the elements with a dedicated match vault. Most include a built-in striker on the cap — meaning one container holds matches, striker, and weather protection in a pocket-sized package.

Why a dedicated container

Matches in cardboard boxes degrade fast — humidity, pack jostling, and pocket lint kill them long before you need them. A sealed match vault keeps the heads dry, the striker functional, and the count intact. The few extra dollars for a quality vault are insurance on every match you store.

What to look for

• O-ring sealed cap for true submersion resistance
• Striker integrated on the cap — never separated from the matches
• Floating capability — many vaults are designed to float if dropped
• Sized for storm matches (longer, thicker than standard)

Pair with the full fire kit

A match vault is one piece of a complete fire-starting system. Pair with Fire Starting Tools for ferro rods and backup ignition, Tinder & Candles for combustibles, and Fire Starting Kits for pre-built complete systems.

Matches that work when you light them. Every time.
