The problem with even waterproof matches is that they need a dry surface to strike on. As a backup to my Bics, I carry some of the waterproof matches sold under the Coghlan brand in the U.S., but I break the strike panels off the box, glue them back-to-back, and put them into a watertight film can along with the matches. Mostly, though, I use a Bic or equivalent.
