EXOTAC - MATCHCAP XL MISSION: We put evolution on the fast track when we decided to perfect the MATCHCAP The MATCHCAP XL is the culmination of countless trips into the woods and a few fire-related mishaps. We doubled the capacity and increased the striking surface by 250%. This thing is serious! ESSENTIALS: The MATCHCAP XL isn't limited to just matches. Using a Stormproof (2.9" long) match, the new design leaves 0.3" 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. TIPS: The inside of the MATCHCAP XL is larger at the bottom. Place the majority of your matches tip down with a few tip-up for maximum capacity. When using the phosphorus striker on the top of the MATCHCAP XL it is advisable to strike from the top (opening) towards the O-ring. This will prevent any stray sparks from entering the inside of the MATCHCAP XL. Carry a variety of matches (stormproof, kitchen, strike-anywhere) as each one has a distinct advantage.
