Review Summary
The EXO Tack fire sleeve is a rubber cover designed to protect a Bic lighter from water and make it floatable. The reviewer tested the product and found that it does indeed float and keep water out of the lighter, as claimed by the manufacturer. However, he notes that it can be tricky to use the lighter with the continuous flame feature that holds the button down. He also mentioned that the product is relatively expensive at $15, especially compared to the low cost of regular Bic lighters.
The reviewer suggests that the Exotac firesleeve may be more useful for people who are frequently in the water, such as rafting guides, and would have value for them due to its ability to keep the lighter dry and floating. However, for the average outdoorsperson or prepper, the reviewer did not think the product offered good value for the price, and he preferrs to use other methods of starting a fire, such as fire Steel and waterproof matches, in case their Bic lighter became waterlogged.
Overall, the review concludes that while the Exotac firesleeve does work as advertised in terms of waterproofing and floatability, it may not be the best choice for everyone due to its high price and limited reliability compared to other waterproof fire starting products on the market.
