About Coleman Waterproof Matches (4 Pack)
71% appreciated its rugged durability, but 29% found it prone to rust
I tested the fire starters by dropping 5 of them in a bowl of water for only 10 seconds and none of them lit.
I have noticed that the fire starters break easily when struck, even gently.
When I left the red striker material in water overnight, it dissolved into the water.
The box does not resist water with its wax coating.

67% found it easy to use in the dark, while 33% struggled with the mechanism
It was difficult to get the matches to light. I had to use 10 matches before I was able to get 1 to light.
By day 2, the match heads and boxes were too damp to light.
About 1 in 8 matches would light.
These emergency fire starters are difficult to use. They are fragile and break easily when struck, even gently. It may take a few strikes to light them, and then they have a small match head that goes out quickly unless held at an extreme downward angle.

I cannot comment on the waterproofing feature of the product.
I am disappointed with the water resistance of these matches. They are not worth the money spent on them.
I tested the product by dropping 5 of them in a bowl of water for only 10 seconds and none of them lit.
