These notebooks fit my needs very well. I take a lot of notes as an inspector. I typically find myself in tight spaces and do a lot of walking in all kinds of weather. These notebooks carry well in the pocket, the bind is perfect as there is not a spiral to snag on my clothes. These are extremely durable I have washed them by accident in the clothes washer. For me they are worth every penny.
Works well and fits nicely in a side cargo pocket on some work trousers. I used it for taking notes during a training and jotting down measurements. Then, silly me, left it and a RITR pen on top of the vehicle and then it rained (and nearly got pooped on from a bird). Found it hours later no worse for wear. The edges of the sheets are a little wrinkly but the pages themselves are still writable and the notes read just fine.
I'm a nurse and love to use these notebooks on the job. Nothing else will do. When I'm done with my patient, I can wipe the notebook down and keep in clean without the exterior coming apart.
We use these on our veggie farm every day. Stellar quality, and they really last. I only wish it were easier to erase pencil from them when we make mistakes.
Between working in reforestation for the Forest Service & continuing to the present as a Volunteer FS Wilderness Ranger, I’ve been using Rite in the Rain products since 1971. That should be a clue about what I think of them.
