The 10 Best Waterproof Notebooks

You’ll have more than enough room for all of your important thoughts with the Rite in the Rain All-Weather Spiral-Side (appx. $16), which gives you a full 8-1/2 x 11 inches of scribbling space per page. Its cover comes in several colors, and it has 42 sheets, for a total of 84 sides.

Designed with both archival quality and usability in mind, the Elan Publishing Company Field Surveying Book (appx. $7) sports a bright orange exterior that makes it nearly impossible to mislay. Although it’s the choice of engineers, anyone needing a durable option will enjoy it, too.

These Rite in the Rain Tactical (about $12) are sized perfectly for your pocket, while the durable wire binding stays in shape so you can flip through it easily. Even though the sheets are waterproof, they are still completely recyclable.

There aren’t many products you buy intending to treat them poorly, but The Indestructible, Waterproof, Tearproof, Weatherproof Field Notebook (appx. $12) from Elan Publishing Company could be one of them. As its name suggests, it's ready for your writing and your abuse.

You can expect a silky smooth experience from the Pictostone A6 Journal (around $19), since it boasts stone paper, which is known to be robust, yet luxurious. The cover offers a leather-like feel, further adding to the overall upscale impression.

When the company claims that the Field Notes Expedition (about $13) has been extensively tested, it means it, since these little books have been shown to hold up against wind, acid, extreme temperatures, and much more. There are three in each set, all with bright orange covers.

If you have deep thoughts in the shower, but a shallow memory, then you need the Aqua Notes Water Proof Notepad (appx. $10). Both it and the included pencil suction cup to the wall, so you’ll have no excuse for losing your amazing ideas about world peace, perpetual motion, and so on.

The Cosmos Orange Tactical (appx. $6) is a Goldilocks option, in that it’s not too big nor too small. It has 50 tear-out pages that are a light orange color with a grid pattern, which work equally well for scientific, mathematical, and casual uses.

The Maleden All Weather Spiral (about $10) is a 5-pack, budget-friendly choice. While each isn’t quite as liquid-proof as some more expensive competitors, these mini steno pads protect well enough against minor accidental spills, such as from a coffee cup.

It’s the small details that make the Peter Pauper Press All Terrain (about $6) a joy to use, including stone paper that stands up to the elements, a high-quality sewn binding, and a light dot grid on each page for versatility. Each order comes with three.
