Review: Great notebook for the outdoors! - A few different operational pages since the last time I bought one of these at the PX but still the great RITR notebook I've come to expect and love. Great for taking notes on your outdoor adventures where it may be damp or a sudden downpour would ruin an ordinary note book. Spend a little extra and get a RITR notebook. You won't be disappointed!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Notebook to Live By
*by O***T on October 14, 2013*

I was first introduced to Rite in the Rain notebooks at USMC Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Virginia. These durable notebooks come in a variety of sizes and are typically found in either green or tan. In addition, each size has a corresponding fabric notebook cover that are very useful. In my time in the Marines, I think I have tried every size / color / cover combination. This size is by far the most useful for anyone either in the military or who otherwise desires to use one notebook for a significant period of time. The other notebooks are a more convenient size, but have too few pages and quickly become filled with field notes, orders, lecture notes, grocery lists, phone numbers, maps, and sketches. This size can hold up to 4-6 months of notes for someone who writes in it every day. In addition, this size also has useful military information and reports in the back. It also fits well in a cargo pocket or vest pouch. The notebooks are durable, except sometimes the cover can lose it's plastic peeling. If they get submerged in water, simply let them dry and keep on using them. There are some pens that don't work well with this, such as gel pens. The best thing to use with this notebook are either regular pencils or plain ball pens. Permanent markers also work very well. I recommend these notebooks with enthusiasm.
