Boingboing is talking about Rite in the Rain notebooks again.

They do this every few months.

They seem neat! Waterproof paper that takes a pencil well seems like a really useful thing.

Do you know much about the product? Is it sustainable? If not, is there a more sustainable alternative?

@solarbug and from what I've heard they're waterproof, but if you get them wet the pages have a tendency to get stuck together so you end up with a big plastic brick to write on

@troubleMoney @solarbug in my experience (i have several), they are legitimate for the use case but the use case is perhaps less common than many of their purchasers imagine.

i can't really speak to sustainability, but one way to frame this might be to note that their original customers were probably in logging & other resource extraction industries...
