Holiday Gift Idea: Taking Notes

Taking notes while on the go doesn’t require a smartphone or other gadget, but it does benefit from a notebook that can stand up to the rigors of the great outdoors. The Field Notes Expedition edition features an all-new design that includes a hi-visibility “Antarctic Survey Orange” front cover and “Polar Night Black” back cover and a subtle varnish effect featuring a topographic map of Antarctica.

This notebook could probably survive a trip to the South Pole as it is printed on Yupo Synthetic paper, which is made from extruded polypropylene pellets that make it water- and tear-proof. Those are just two of 12 tests the new notebook’s testing – and while we won’t list them all, let’s say this is flame resistant and can endure electromagnetic waves. Try that iPad!
