Rite in the RainWeatherproof Top Bound Notebook, 3.25" x 5.25", Black Cover (No. 778)

By far my favorite notebook.I made the mistake of trying Field Notes because for this price, you get 3. Halfway through the notebook the pages start falling out. The covers are paper junk too. Then I tried off brand versions. Same exact thing. Then I tried moleskin. Moleskin was the worst of them all.So I switched to RITR's top spiral and fell in love. Then, I stumbled upon this beastly bad boy. There are TONS of pages. They are well constructed and tear out easily. If you chose to keep them in and cycle through pages, they do not rip! The outer construction of RITR products is also top notch and much more superior to Field Notes. The logo may fade, even in a notebook cover, but they hold up well. I use multiple different covers, and sometimes none at all. I bought 10 of these to last for a long time. So far, I have carried this one in rotation with my top spirals for about 3 months. Hence the wear you see in the pictures. Compared to EVERY other brand, the wear is minimal. These are by far the most durable notepads. I have been using the top spiral for about a year and a half now. If they made a bulk buy of these, I would get it.I highly recommend this product.

The size is right for holding in one hand and writing. The eggshell sorta-grid college rule (very faint vertical lines) is fine for writing (it could go narrower in my opinion) but not so good as graph paper, as there aren't enough squares per page. The grey on black map scale/ruler/measurement conversions and back matter are perhaps useful, but are subdued enough to be tasteful decoration. I hadn't realized the pages are perforated, which makes this more a replacement for that 25 cent spiral notebook than a Moleskine Reporter, and I had also kind of thought that the cover would be more a board than cardstock - stay tuned for durability report. What I really want is a Moleskine Reporter with 5mm graph paper (not perforated) and Rite in the Rain paper, and would be happy to pay three times as much for it, but this will do for now. You'll feel ripped off (or should) if you pay more than $5 for it.

Been using Rite in the Rain products for decades. Very pleased to see them come out with this new model at same 3x5 size as military issue “Memoranda” notebooks, but made even better with perforated, detachable pages. This product will easily earn five stars when Rite in the Rain makes it in their larger 4x6 format.

We Love All Rite In The Rain Products. I am very happy with these new all-weather UNIVERSAL Number 778 Note Pads. I am Very Happy that they came out with this new pad without the wire spiral top and it fits perfectly in my C935 Zipper Case. Which I carry every day. All Rite In The Rain Products are Perfect.

Gave as a gift to a greasy handed mechanic that always has to jot down new number parts throughout his shift. It works well and it’s small enough to fit in one of his pockets. I recommend buying the company’s retractable pen to go along with it.

This notebook has quickly become my favorite pocket notebook. I take it everywhere with me and it holds up well to being in my back pocket all day.

You can't go wrong with Rite in the Rain! I spend a lot of time outdoors, so durability in any field notebook is essential to me. The fact that these are waterproof, flexible, and incredibly durable makes these my #1 go-to notebook. I like that they come in colors, too, so I can separate my field notes and journals more easily.

I love this pad. Put it in my back pocket while working and my sweat or wet hands don't ruin or even effect it at all. I'm definitely keeping a supply of these on hand.

For Conservation Biology to do her plant collection notes in the outside. As it has been raining a lot she recommends it

En campo la principal ventaja es su resistencia a líquidos, no hay necesidad de exponerle a solventes o aceites, como todo hay que cuidar las cosas y herramientas de trabajo. Las carátulas plásticas le dan un estilo cool, pero cumple la misma función que una servilleta seca.

This product was a gift and the person who received it was very pleased with it.

I figured this would be similar to those waterproof stone paper tradie notebooks you can get from officeworks. Instead it's just a weirdly resistance paper. Ballpoint pen and pencil work okay, but anything else, like rollerball, gel pen, marker, or fountain pen never fully dries and smudges as soon as it's touched. Lucky I didn't spend a ton on the bigger ones.
