Description of 🔥 Exotac- fireSLEEVE Waterproof Lighter Holder Case - Orange (Lighter Not Included)

QUALITY DESIGN: Flexible materials protect your classic bic lighter and provide a hands-free functioning gas lock strap to engage the gas as needed. The fireSLEEVE design offers 2 lashing points to attach your lighter to any lanyard or pack for easy access. WATERPROOF: Pair together the classic Bic lighter with high-performance waterproof materials used by Exotac and the fireSLEEVE was born. Use this in any emergency situation and never worry about water damage with protection from up to 3ft of water. SAFETY CAP: Easily store your lighter safely from moisture and loss of fuel as the cap provided blocks the gas button from being pressed when you have it in your pack. Store the cap on the bottom of the fireSLEEVE when using your bic lighter. SURVIVAL MEETS BASICS: Fire is a survival essential and Exotac has combined the classic bic lighter with the theory of survival and compatibility of everyday accessories. Try the fireSLEEVE at home to light your cigar, cigarette, candles or grill. MADE IN THE USA: All of our products are beautifully designed, masterfully machined, and hand-finished in the USA.

INFINITE CHARACTER: Lighters

I really liked this item and was willing to pay a high price for what it was and supposedly delivered because I'm always willing to try new things my survival gear im Frees improve Wild anyway, but it was an epic fail 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…

Pros
  • Health & Life
Cons
  • Appearance

Great concept, so-so execution

Like many other reviewers, I couldn't put the cap on; it will work immediately and will not provide any protection. I contacted Exotac hoping for sympathy. Their email said they had never heard of such a problem, but I could try cleaning the inside of the cap and the top of the sleeve where the grooves are with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residual silicone. I was skeptical but it helped! The cap now stays in place and requires little force to remove. I think if they used a flexible silicone

Pros
  • Lighters
Cons
  • No performance

Waste of money, doesn't do what it's supposed to

TLDR: Waste of money. Like the others mentioned, the cap is very difficult to put on to provide enough seal to be watertight. You need to push the lighter in as hard as you can. Then, with the cap on, I have to press down firmly on the cap with one hand and on the rubber bushing with the other hand to ensure a proper seal. It takes too much energy just to put on a hat. As many other reviewers have pointed out, the mold for these injection molded parts wears out over time and is an expensive…

Pros
  • Lighters and matches
Cons
  • No

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…

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

Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
