Product description

The ability to take notes is something you should never be without, this waterproof and strong notebook has been designed especially for military use. A notebook is a notebook, but with high quality materials and some clever functional details we´ve turned this into something a bit more!

  • Waterproof Modestone stone paper
  • 30 sheets, 60 pages
  • 7 x 7 mm / 0.3" x 0.3" squares
  • Name space on the front cover
  • 1:25k and 1:50k map rulers inside the cover

Available in two different sizes. The larger one is comparable to A6 paper size, the smaller to A7. Choose which one suits you better depending on how you´re going to carry it and how much or little writing surface you need.

Modestone´s limestone based paper is pretty neat. In comparison to Rite-in-the-rain this stuff is stronger and absolutely 100% waterproof, you can have a piece submerged for months without it taking any damage! It is also extremely resistant to wrinkling. A really neat feature is the fact that on top of the usual pens and pencils you can also use metal such as keys or bullets to write! In all honesty the only downside to Modestone paper is it´s slight softness which takes some getting used to when writing with hard tipped pencils.

The inside of the front cover features printed map scale readers for 1:25k and 1:50k maps. This is especially enjoyable for Finnish military users. The sad and weird fact is that Finnish military issue compasses feature 1:20k scales for map reading, yet the issued maps are all 1:25k or 1:50k. This silly little compatibility issue has caused one or two headaches over the years. But, now you can just flip out your notebook and check the distance with no need for calculations!

Made in Parola, Finland. Modestone is a pretty new player in the world of waterproof papers but a prime example of Finnish innovation. Modestone notebooks are currently in law enforcement and military use in Finland, and they´re steadily gaining fame out there in the big world too.

It really works, you can write on it in rainy conditions. The paper is waterproof, the look of the product is pretty cool, so buy it, if you have use of such a thing or just want to have one.

Modestone is just on another level. You can feel it just by writing on it or just by looking at it after hours of raining. And the maps rules are very useful. It's a bit expensive for just a little notebook but the quality worth it.

Much better than Rite in the Rain brand notebooks. Thinner, smoother paper that is still tear resistant, and has a small square pattern for chartmaking, math, etc. More importantly, it's MUCH better for writing on both in the rain and under normal conditions. I can use things besides my Fisher space pen and it always goes down smooth and thick, whereas normal pens on RitR pads are super janky. This applies doubly so in the rain. I work takeout at a restaurant, and this makes taking people's orders out of their vehicles while it's raining a breeze. Equally handy on range visits or backpacking trips :)
