Prompt: How can I design a match box for the brand Patagonia?
TrailBlaze
TrailBlaze is a compact, reusable match kit designed for Patagonia. The weather-resistant, clip-on case protects refillable matches and replaceable striker plates. A low-profile compass is integrated into the lid for basic orientation.
PROBLEM?
Disposable match boxes are fragile, moisture sensitive, and often single use. In the backcountry, losing ignition can escalate a routine setback into a safety risk (warmth, water purification, signaling.)
