EVOLUTION
Exotac put evolution on the fast track when they decided to perfect the MATCHCAP. The MATCHCAP XL is the comination of countless trips into the woods and a few fire-related mishaps. They doubled the capacity and increased the striking surface by 250%. This thing is serious!

EXPANSION
The MATCHCAP XL isn't limited to just matches. Using a Stormproof (2.9" long) match, the new design leaves 0.3" to spare for tinder storage. If using kitchen matches, nearly half of the MATCHCAP XL is available for storage. Use the extra space to store water purification tablets, tinder, medicine, fishing hooks, first aid kit, etc.

TIP
For maximum match capacity, place a majority of thematches head up with a few head down.

Features:

  • SAFETY-MATCH STRIKER: The MATCHCAP XL replaceable safety-match striker is located inside the cap protected by an o-ring. Because it’s on the outside of the capsule, the stored matches won’t rub on it either.
  • STRIKE ANYWHERE STRIKER: For use with strike-anywhere matches, the sandpaper pad on the bottom is water-resistant and great when everything else is too wet to use as a striking surface.
  • WATERPROOF: Matches nor strikers work when wet so the capsule is sealed with an o-ring that prevents water and moisture intrusion at depths of 15 ft. (5 m).
  • ANODIZED ALUMINUM BODY: The MATCHCAP XL is CNC machined, in house from USA high-grade 6061 aluminum then anodized for protection in one of our four signature Exotac colors.
  • HOLDS UCO STORMPROOF MATCHES: The large capsule of the MATCHCAP XL can fit matches or other gear up to 2.9in. (74 mm) in length. It fits the ever popular Stormproof Match, as well as your basic kitchen match and everything in between.

Works good

It will definitely keep your matches dry, but the little self adhesive disk sand paper on the bottom doesn’t want to stay on, so I had to put a dab of hot glue, and then stick it on there. Otherwise it kept falling off.

Exceptionally High Quality! Perfect size!

I hesitated to buy this in comparison to cheap plastic alternatives, but I am thrilled with this purchase! The quality is top notch. It is smaller than it looks too but still holds 10 Stormproof matches and 8 fire starting cotton tabs.

Worth every dollar. I will recommend this to my backpacking buddies!
