Expedition Field Notes

This notebook can handle anything you throw at it. Field Notes designed this paper and put it through 12 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

Note: Synthetic paper is nonporous and does not absorb ink like our conventional papers. Ballpoint pens, pencils, or fine tip Sharpies work best.
