FIELD NOTES Expedition 3-Pack

About this product

FNC-17 marks the start of Field Note's fifth year of their Quarterly Editions. In that time, they've explored a wide variety of papers, colors, and printing techniques, but with this new Expedition edition, for the first time, they've actually expanded the type of paper used in their notebooks.

Aesthetically, you’ll find an all-new design with plenty to like: a hi-visibility 'Antarctic Survey Orange' front cover and 'Polar Night Black' back cover, with a subtle varnish effect featuring a topographic map of Antarctica. The body pages feature their popular dot-graph paper printed in light gray.

But the real innovation here is the paper. It’s maybe not even fair to call it paper. The whole book is printed on Yupo Synthetic paper, an amazing tearproof and waterproof paper extruded from polypropylene pellets in Chesapeake, Virginia. Field Notes could go on and on about their new notebooks’ durability and incredible properties (especially in concert with the new Space Pen, FN-19), and they will, in this series of 12 (reasonably) scientific tests:

TEST 1: WATERPROOF

TEST 2: VISIBILITY

TEST 3: WIND RESISTANCE

TEST 4: BALLISTICS

TEST 5: VACUUM

TEST 6: TENSILE STRENGTH

TEST 7: COMPRESSION

TEST 8: ACID RESISTANCE

TEST 9: FLAME RESISTANCE

TEST 10: EXTREME TEMPERATURE

TEST 11: ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

TEST 12: ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE

Months of development and testing were required to get these books just right, and they'd like to thank Yupo for their extensive support, as well as the great printers and ink technicians that pitched in to help.
