Confused !!!

To start this is not a complaint or a slight in any way. The matches are listed as Hurricane and they do exactly what Hurricane matches are supposed to do. They are wind proof and water proof.
The issue is the slightly misleading picture and description of the product on the website.
The picture clearly shows Stormproof matches and the description says wind proof, water proof and that they will relight after being submerged in water. That’s the issue, they do not relight after being submerged in water.
The product arrived all as stated by Tamarack and no issues whatsoever with the service provided or the price paid. That was 5 star and will be shopping with them in the future.
The low rating is purely based on the confusion about the actual product being supplied and what on the website. Storm proof matches are what is pictured and described (Orange with a Black top) but Hurricane matches are boxed as Hurricane matches and are a different colour. Brown with a Red top.
Overall happy with the product as it does what it should do, just saying that the website needs correcting.

Usage
- For lighting a match, it is ideal if the striker is a firm surface which can usually be achieved by just closing the box
- If striker and box become wet, the striker will still work, but needs to dry first so that the surface is once again firm. Use a spare striker until then
- If matches become wet, just wipe dry before use
- Strike away from the body or in a downwards position. Be careful of bystanders
- Be careful when striking the match since sparks can fly off the igniting head
- After using the match, run it in water to be certain that it will not light anything else on fire
