All-Weather Field Notebook
The Rite in the Rain No. 973 is a pocket-sized side spiral notebook for writing outdoors when ordinary paper would soak through, smear or tear. Its pages shed water and resist oil, grease and mud, so range data, survey notes, hunting logs and patrol records stay readable after a wet day. It suits shooters, surveyors, hunters, soldiers and anyone else who needs notes that last in the field.
Features
- Weatherproof Writing Paper — Rite in the Rain's patented all-weather paper sheds water and resists oil, grease and mud, and it takes pencil or an all-weather pen even when wet.
- 32 Sheets Of 32# Paper — The 32-pound paper is heavier than everyday 20 lb copy paper, so pages stand up to handling, erasing and rough use.
- Universal Page Pattern — Solid horizontal lines with faint vertical dashed guides let each page work as lined paper for notes or as a grid for tables, sketches and scaled drawings.
- Non-Glare Green Pages — The light green tint cuts reflection in bright sun, which makes reading and writing easier outdoors.
- Polydura Cover — The cover uses Polydura, a durable synthetic material that holds up to rain and wear far better than card stock, and it contains post-consumer recycled material.
- Rust-Resistant Wire-O Binding — A side spiral of double-loop wire lets the notebook fold flat or back on itself, and the wire is made to resist rust after repeated soakings.
- Built-In Inch Ruler — A 6-inch scale printed along the edge of the back cover gives you quick measurements without extra tools.
- Table Of Contents — A contents page at the front helps you index entries and find them again later.
- NSN Listed — It carries NSN 7530-01-693-9094, the National Stock Number used in the military supply system, which simplifies ordering through government channels.
Size And Construction
The notebook measures 4.875 x 7 x 0.375 inches (about 12.4 x 17.8 x 1 cm), small enough for a cargo pocket, admin pouch or pack lid. It is made in the USA by JL Darling LLC of Tacoma, Washington, the company behind the Rite in the Rain brand. The olive green cover carries the No. 973 Universal marking on the front, so it is easy to tell apart from other page patterns in the range.

Survived three months of daily field abuseOkay so i work outdoors doing utility line inspections and this notebook has been through rain, mud, and Texas summer heat with me. The Polydura cover still looks almost new (just a few scratches around the corners) and the Wire-O binding hasn't bent or snagged on anything in my tool bag. I was skeptical about the whole "write in the rain" thing but honestly it works... as long as you use a pencil or their all-weather pen. I learned the hard way that my usual pens turns into a smeary mess on this paper when it gets damp. The paper has a slightly waxy feel to it which takes some getting used to but once you do, the pages don't stick together like regular notebooks do after getting rained on. After about 50 pages of notes, no tearing, no pages falling out. I actually prefer this to the Field Notes Expedition I tried last year those pages stuck together after one wet day and never really recovered. Green cover is way less obtrusive than their bright yellow ones too.
Paper doesn't degrade after getting wet
Normal pens don't work on it

Actually waterproof paper that really worksI've been using these notebooks for field research and they're absolutely incredible. Got caught in a downpour last month and my notes stayed completely readable while regular paper would've been destroyed. The green paper is easy on the eyes during long days outside and doesn't glare in bright sun. The wire binding has held up great even after being stuffed in my pack constantly. Worth every penny if you need notes that survive real weather conditions.
Genuinely waterproof paper technology
Paper feels different than normal writing
