Waterproof Notebooks

Set of three books, dot-graph paper 3½" × 5½" 48 pages each.
With this new Expedition edition, for the first time, we actually expanded the type of paper used in our notebooks.

Aesthetically, you’ll find a design with plenty to like: a hi-visibility “Antarctic Survey Orange” front cover and “Polar Night Black” back cover, with a subtle varnish effect featuring a topographic map of Antarctica. The body pages feature our popular dot-graph paper printed in light gray.

But the real innovation here is the paper. It’s maybe not even fair to call it paper. The whole book is printed on Yupo Synthetic paper, an amazing tear proof and waterproof paper extruded from polypropylene pellets.
