fast shipping. as expected.

El tamaño es perfecto para el bolsillo, el detalle es que está un poco mas gruesa de lo normal, que pudiera ser molesto para algunos, en lo personal son mas hojas en donde poder tomar notas

High price for a pad but superb quality product long lasting and waterproof. Great for an EDC kit

Tal y como dicen en la descripción, resistente al agua y papel muy agradable a la escritura

I gave the RITR No. 754 (3.5" X 5" memo book w/ Field Flex cover) a try because all my other notebooks (Moleskines) would get ruined by sweat and fall apart before I could fill them. These fit perfectly in a Dickies uniform shirt pocket with just enough room for two pens. The folded page sections, which are made from a very sturdy paper, are welded to the synthetic cover by a strong glue. The pages will curl, albeit not excessively, if you write with a heavy hand and bleed-through with a ballpoint is minimal. Furthermore, while the book is stiff enough that it won't lay perfectly flat, it's still flexible enough to conform to your pocket. No big deal for me, as I'll gladly sacrifice a little flexibility for strength. Additionally, I want to point out that the first and last pages will tear away from its opposite if you forcibly fold the cover open to fully use their space, but the glue still holds the detached page tightly to the cover; they're not going to fall out on their own. I also like that the cover barely peels at all from the edges and corners, a big disappointment with other notebooks that use vinyl laminated to a card stock backing and become dog-eared and ratty looking very quickly.As far as writing goes, you don't need a Fisher Space Pen for these when they're DRY. I have zero issues writing with a Parker Jotter and a factory refill. (Edit, 8/27/15 - I should clarify that "factory refill" refers to the older, NON-Quink cartridges. I haven't tried the newer style Parker refills, but anecdotal reports of their performance on RITR paper haven't been positive. Caveat emptor. As of this writing, I'm now using Fisher refills in my Jotter and they work superbly.) It won't write when wet, but the paper resists sweat so well that soggy pages are a non-issue. Whatever you write WILL NOT fade or wash away. With other notebooks, my notes would be faded to the point of being completely illegible after getting soaked with sweat. If writing in the wet is a must, carry a mechanical pencil (which I do anyway since I draft electrical schematics from time to time), or get a Fisher/RITR pen or refill. Speaking of pencil, I've yet to find an eraser that "works." Not even my Pentel Hi-Polymer erasers will remove pencil from RITR paper without lots of smudges/ghosting. That's not to say such an eraser doesn't exist (in fact, if you know of one, I'd like to know about it in a comment), but keep this in mind if you intend to use a pencil exclusively.Oh, and I guess I should point out in closing that this doesn't come with a built-in elastic band to hold it closed or a fancy pocket in the back. Big deal. This is a no-nonsense notebook designed to survive conditions that'd make a Moleskine disintegrate. I use a black hair band to hold mine closed. (Yes, a hair band. You can stop laughing. It works, and that's all I care about.)Bottom line: Despite the minor quibbles, these do their job exceptionally well, which is to keep my notes and references intact through rough use in the field. They earn every one of the 5 stars I give them.
