Review on πŸ”₯ Exotac- fireSLEEVE Waterproof Lighter Holder Case - Orange (Lighter Not Included) by Ben Hamilton

WORTHLESS JUNK - Lighters and Matches

I wanted to like this item and I was willing to pay a high price for what it should offer because I'm always willing to try new things that will improve my wilderness survival kit in some ways, but it's was an epic failure for me. Useless junk in my opinion. You can only use one specific lighter, the BIC Classic. First, it was almost impossible to slide the lighter in and out of the holder, and then the built-in strap that you had to lift and place over the tank button to get the lighter burning without holding it. NEVER stay on it, it kept slipping off no matter what I tried. And I had the lighter completely in the holder. It was a disappointment, but worst of all, the damn lid didn't stay on at all. Every time I pressed it it popped up immediately, no matter how many times I tried and used several different BIC lighters it did the same thing. The body of the holder is made of a soft, flexible material and the cap is made of hard plastic, and they are not compatible with each other. Save time, money and hassle and simply use an inexpensive plastic ZIPLOC freezer bag with a rubber band around it to keep your lighter waterproof. Final grade = F-

Pros
  • PROTECTIVE CAP: Easily store your lighter and protect it from moisture and fuel loss as the included cap blocks the gas button when in your backpack. Keep the cap on the bottom of the fireSLEEVE when using the lighter.
Cons
  • A few little things
