I bought this notebook as a stocking stuffer for my husband last Christmas. He's used it at work, when we're at the range, for note taking at home, etc. It's gone through the ringer! This morning I noticed it sitting on his armchair and thought he forgot to grab it before work. Nope. He left it out to remind himself to tell me about it. Apparently, he left the notepad and some loose printer paper notes in his pocket of some work pants I washed for him. He realized that it went through a washer and dryer, his notes didn't smear, and the notepad itself was intact. He was shocked. I'm impressed! We compared the notepad to his notes and the ink smeared and most of it washed off. The notepad held through. So while we haven't tried it out in the rain or mud yet, it DID survive a lengthy wash cycle on the highest heat setting, followed by a 1 hour stint in the dryer (also on the hottest setting). Definitely a testament to this product's quality and durability. I'll be purchasing more when he runs out. I'm a planner/paper junkie but have my own notepad system. I'm thinking I should throw one of these into the mix for myself now!! Added photos of the notepad and the notes for comparison. If you're hesitant to purchase one of these, this is your sign to get one NOW!
