I love these little notebooks. Normally, I just take notes on a normal day. I bought these just because it is a Seattle company and I knew I would get caught in the rain. But, a few days, I actually got caught in heavier rain. I was really surprised at how well these worked (I also have the pens). I was able to write completely clearly in a pretty solid downpour.
I work in water treatment so being able to write down readings with wet hands is amazing! Paper works as advertised and having sat on the spiral part a couple times its definitely more durable than your run of the mill notepad. Highly recommend getting the 3-pack since you'll want more once you try it
We have used these items on multiple college immersive trips to Costa Rica and other locations where the students need to be able to take notes and drawings that are water-resistant/proof. These have continuously lived up to that.
The note book works great. As a wastewater operator I use my rite in the rain 3x5 notebook in adverse conditions throughout the year. ie rain, snow, I started using these products years ago and they just work as described. Pair the note book with an all weather pen or a pencil and you are good to go no matter the elements the data you log will be there.
I am a field service tech. I have used Rite in rain products for about 10 years. There are many situations when it is easier to use then taking notes on a phone. The note pad doesn't care if your hands are covered in grease and dirt or if you have gloves on. I definitely recommend these products to anyone that is working outdoors or in a wet or dirty environment.
Traveling to all types of industry doing vibration analysis, I keep a notebook for each plant. From humid and hot paper mills to steamy steel plants to harsh chemical plants, I make notes as I do my routes. It’s great to be able to refer back to notes while analyzing data. Thanks to Rite-in the-Rain for such an awesome product!
