WATERPROOF NOTEBOOK - 3 PACK
We've always loved Field Notes notebooks, but when we came across the Expedition edition notebooks they hit the bullseye with us here at Freestyle! We love the water, and things that can be used in and around it - it's what we do and who we are. This awesome notebook delivers a waterproof and tearproof notebook that can hang with us during all of our adventures.
Aesthetically, you’ll find a hi-visibility “Antarctic Survey Orange” front cover and “Polar Night Black” back cover, with a subtle varnish effect featuring a topographic map of Antarctica. The body pages feature their popular dot-graph paper printed in light gray.
But the real innovation here is the paper. It’s maybe not even fair to call it paper. The whole book is printed on Yupo Synthetic paper, an amazing tearproof and waterproof paper extruded from polypropylene pellets in Chesapeake, Virginia. We could go on and on about these notebooks’ durability and incredible properties, but if you're really interested you can check out the results in in this series of 12 (reasonably) scientific tests:
TEST 1: WATERPROOF
TEST 2: VISIBILITY
TEST 3: WIND RESISTANCE
TEST 4: BALLISTICS
TEST 5: VACUUM
TEST 6: TENSILE STRENGTH
TEST 7: COMPRESSION
TEST 8: ACID RESISTANCE
TEST 9: FLAME RESISTANCE
TEST 10: EXTREME TEMPERATURE
TEST 11: ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
TEST 12: ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE
Months of development and testing were required to get these books just right and the result is nothing short of awesome!
The majority of our customers may not test the limits of these notebooks, but the map of Antarctica is neither hyperbole nor coincidence. They sent the Expedition edition to the South Pole with explorer Ben Saunders as he and his team attempted to retrace Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s ill-fated journey to the Pole and back, on foot and unsupported.
Note: Synthetic paper is nonporous and doesn’t absorb ink like our conventional papers. Ballpoint pens, pencils, or fine tip Sharpies work best.
Proudly printed by the good people of Stromberg Allen & Company, Tinley Park, Ill.
