Conditions are rarely ideal when you’re on an exercise, course or training in the field. Officers need to have access to reliable tools to help them keep organised and ensure success. One of the most important yet commonly overlooked pieces of equipment for officers is a waterproof field notebook, such as the Rite in the Rain 980 notebook. In this blog, we’ll look into the reasons why they’re so key.

Crucial Tool For Note Taking In The Field

Be it recording key observations, writing orders, notes or drawing out track plans, having access to recording accurate notes while you’re on the move is vital. You need a waterproof field notebook so that you’ll be able to write down vital information with accuracy and ensure that you have all the information you need on hand at all times.

Built To Withstand The Demands Of Extreme Environments

Rain, snow, mud and intense humidity are all conditions that people serving in military roles expect to face regularly, which means that they need equipment that’s built to endure these varied environments. While regular paper quickly falls apart when exposed to rain, mud or sweat, the fantastic durability of the Rite in the Rain 980 waterproof field notebook holds up. The incredible tear-resistance keeps damage at bay while the waterproofing allows you to write even while the notebook is fully submerged in water.
