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,, opens in a new tab 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 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.

This is my 4th watch and I love using them when I’m surfing and just using it for everyday life!
Love it so much! It’s so cute and will be perfect for camp this summer!
Got this watch for my wife for her birthday and it hasn't come off her wrist since. it's a breath of fresh air from all of these smart watches that constantly bother you throughout the day every time a notification or email comes through. She just wanted something to keep the time and a stopwatch because she's a gym teacher. It checks all the boxes!
This is my second watch and I love it as much as my first. It took me forever to pick a color because they have so many great choices. After I received my first watch and loved it so much I immediately went back and ordered another color. Great quality looks great on and love the nostalgic look.
I just wanted a watch that tells me the time. Not one that shows me a text or how well I slept when I want to know what time it is. This is elegant and cool and. Always tells me what time it is.
This is my 2nd shark watch and i just love it so much. Thank you!! I want to buy more they are simple and fun but powerful!
I bought one for a summer internship and I absolutely love my watch!! It’s so bright and fun. I styled it with some bracelets and never want to take it off. I will definitely be buying another ASAP!
Hi! I’m a Veterinary ER Nurse, and here are 5 reasons I wear this watch at work and in my personal life:
1. It tells the time with a simple to view display window and a night light button just in case. This is great since I never know what position my body will be in to view the display window. Sometimes I’m on the floor, contorted into weird positions while restraining, drawing blood, or placing catheters. No matter my position, I can see my watch face.
2. It shows the date and day of the week with a quick click of a button, and super easy to clean off blood and other fluids I come in contact with- even the band is super easy to clean. Though it’s a mini, all I have to do is life my sleeve a touch to view my watch, otherwise it’s a colorful watch face with a nice-sized display window.
3. There’s a reliable stopwatch to record my patients’ respirations and heart rate, or to time myself completing any task.
4. Two alarms to remind me when to take my lunch and 10 minute sit-downs, a great reminder since my job is so go go go with one emergency after another.
5. It’s super pretty and very durable. My second Shark Watch after 1 year of wear and the face plate came off the other a few weeks ago, other than that, crazy durable while wrestling huge dogs to be restrained safely and comfortably.
I absolutely LOVE these little watches. This is my 3rd one. I wear them fishing, swimming in the ocean, river and basically for all my outdoor summer fun. I love that I don’t have to worry about it getting wet. I also love that it has 2 time settings for when I travel to different time zones on vacation and I can keep my home time.
Stop watch and timer. Back light to see time at night. Most of all in a world where we’re all so tied to our electronics it’s nice to have a simple yet adorable watch that doesn’t ping or buzz me every time you get a text! 100% recommend these watches and I will be buying more.
I love shark watches! my family has gotten a total of 7! They never fail and are always super cute! They are super good quality too!
This is my first Shark watch. I love this color combo because I think it can transition from season to season. It’s super comfortable and can be worn while running.
Given to 17 yo for her birthday. Hardly made it out of the box before strapping on her wrist. She wears it daily!
I’m a Fireman and having the Pitch Black Memo Book in My Pocket at all times for Communications and Instructions is Key to Get’n the Job Done !!!:)
My fourth Freestyle watch because I love the dependability and styles. Ideally, truthfully, I’m more of an analog watch person. This watch sees me through the rigors of a healthcare position…baths, showers, and personal cares. Yes! Freestyle!
Best color waves ever and they tell you exactly what you need to know. No extra crap to look at just the time and your beautiful watch! Get one now before your color is gone!
