Rite in the Rain Waterproof Notebook 946
Every outdoor writing toolkit needs to contain something dependable to write on. The Rite in the Rain Waterproof Notebook 946 is the perfect all-rounder option. It’s a neatly-sized 4” x 6” spiral-bound notebook that is purpose-built for all weathers, with waterproof and tear-resistant pages that can stand strong even in the heaviest downpours. This waterproof notebook also has a durable Polydura cover, with handy reference guides built into the pages to make it infinitely useful. Add one of these to your outdoor writing toolkit, and you’ll be equipped with a robust field companion no matter where your next adventure takes you.
Rite in the Rain Waterproof Mini Notebook
For times when you’re on the go or need something even more pocket-friendly to write on, it’s a Rite in the Rain Waterproof Mini Notebook that you’ll want in your writing toolkit. Measuring just 3.25” x 4.625”, these mini notebooks slip easily into small pockets and pouches while still providing 24 pages of fully waterproof and tearproof paper. Each notebook is also protected by a Field-Flex cover that resists inevitable bending and creasing when you’re coming and going. These outdoor writing essentials can even be written on underwater, making them a versatile addition to your notetaking arsenal.
All Weather Loose Leaf Paper
If you prefer to organise your notes by tasks, hand sheets out to others, or fold as you please, adding All Weather Loose Leaf Paper to your outdoor writing toolkit is the way to go. These waterproof sheets are punched with a six-hole pattern that fits a Field Ring Binder, as well as the UK Military Issue TAMs Folder, making them ideal for outdoor work. Each pack contains 100 sheets of completely waterproof paper, all with a universal page pattern. They’ll survive everything from rain to mud, giving you the freedom to take notes as you please no matter what the environment demands.
Cordura Notebook Cover
No outdoor writing toolkit is complete without proper protection. This is where a Cordura Notebook Cover can come in handy. Designed to work alongside your chosen waterproof notebook or paper, these tough covers are made from nylon-based CORDURA, which can withstand abrasions and snags while keeping your notebook safely tucked away. They also include storage space for a number of pens and pencils, giving you practical access to your writing tools on the move. Choose from a traditional Multicam pattern or Tan colour and enjoy extra peace of mind that your notes will be protected.
All Weather Pocket Pen
Last but certainly not least in your outdoor writing toolkit should be something that allows you to write reliably in any conditions. The All Weather Pocket Pen does exactly that, designed to work alongside your waterproof paper to help you write whenever and wherever. This pen delivers consistent performance through rain, grease, mud and sweat, with a pressurised ink cartridge that can also write at extreme temperatures and depths of around 35 feet. The cap snaps securely onto the end of the pen to form a full-length writing tool, and each pack includes two pens so you always have a backup!
