Waterproof Notebooks and All-Weather Writing Paper
Rite in the Rain manufactures waterproof notebooks, all-weather writing paper, and pressurized pens in Tacoma, Washington. Founded in 1916 for the Pacific Northwest logging industry, the company produces notebooks with patented water-resistant paper that works in rain, snow, mud, and extreme temperatures. DLT Trading stocks Rite in the Rain notebooks in 3x5 and 4x6 formats, all-weather pens with pressurized ink cartridges, and field desk accessories.
Patented Wood-Based All-Weather Paper Construction
Rite in the Rain All-Weather Paper uses a water-based coating on wood fiber sheets. The coating creates a moisture barrier that repels water while keeping the paper texture for pencil and pen use. The 32-pound paper accepts standard pencils when wet and ballpoint pens when dry, with permanent ink that resists washing off. Unlike synthetic waterproof papers, Rite in the Rain paper is fully recyclable through standard curbside programs and meets ANSI/NISO Z39.48-1992 archival standards for long-term storage.
Pressurized All-Weather Pens for Wet Conditions
Rite in the Rain all-weather pens have pressurized ink cartridges that work in temperatures from -30F to 250F and write underwater to 35 feet. The pressurized system pushes ink through the tip regardless of gravity or pressure, allowing upside-down writing and use in extreme conditions. Cartridges use proprietary ink that won't freeze, evaporate, or leak in temperature extremes. DLT Trading carries clicker-style all-weather pens in metal and plastic barrels with black ink.
Wire-O Binding and Polydura Cover Materials
Rite in the Rain notebooks use impact-resistant Wire-O binding that maintains shape when carried in pockets or subjected to field use. The coiled wire construction allows notebooks to lay flat when open and permits 360-degree page rotation. Polydura covers provide flexible protection against scratches, stains, and moisture while remaining pliable in cold temperatures. Top-spiral and side-spiral binding configurations accommodate different writing preferences, with universal grid patterns supporting notes, sketches, and scaled drawings.
Tactical Notebooks and Field Desk Systems
Rite in the Rain makes tactical notebooks in tan and green Polydura covers for military and law enforcement. The Monsoon series includes field desks, command desks, and storage pouches made from weather-resistant materials. Field desk systems have rigid writing surfaces with storage for notebooks, pens, and reference materials. DLT Trading stocks 3x5 and 4x6 tactical notebooks with 100 pages, mini bolt-action pens, and gravity-fed pencils for gloved hand use.
