MSR Strike Igniter
A high-integrity, weather-resistant ignition tool engineered for the backcountry specialist, providing an honest and dependable spark to light canisters and liquid fuel stoves in the most demanding conditions.
The MSR Strike Igniter is a masterclass in reliability, designed to serve as a high-integrity alternative to traditional lighters and matches. Unlike standard lighters that fail at high altitudes or matches that become useless when damp, this flint-based igniter produces a massive shower of sparks at 3,000°C ($5,432^{\circ}\text{F}$), ensuring your stove ignites even in freezing or wet Australian environments. The striker is built with a robust, easy-to-grip handle that can be operated even with gloved hands, providing the leverage needed for a consistent strike. It is a sophisticated, fail-safe implement that ensures you can always boil water and prepare meals, regardless of what the elements throw at your campsite.
