Maui Jim vs Field Notes Expedition

I've used the "Write In Rain" type , so I was used to having to find a certain pen or pencil. The Field Notes Expedition notebooks are like that. If you don't use the right pen, it will smear on the nearly tear proof, water resistant paper. I've found that a pencil works well all the time and as for a pen, the UniBall "Jetstream" works best

They seem like a good idea, but only a couple of brands do them right. Otherwise it's a needle thin piece of metal under tension inside there.

It works with a Sharpie fine tip but it lacks the ability to "glide" like a ball point or gel pen so it's a PITA to write a lot of content. I write copious notes so this is a deal breaker. I purchased the Uni Jetstream pen that has fast drying ink and while it works, it works to a degree with the Expedition. I found for some reason, the ink won't write in certain spots

If I were to own Maui Gym, what I probably do is kind of unify their sunglass lineup and you know, really amplify some of the classic styles. One of m...

If you still want to stay with using Field notes, this one has not let me down. [Field Notes

They’re pricey, but made to take a beating. And customer service for repairs is great. You can find past year models for ~50% off at Costco. Great stuff

It doesn't take a genius to realize that you probably shouldn't be writing underwater then putting a notebook away wet, but it should be at least addressed for those who actually might be wanting to do that for whatever crazy reason. Otherwise the books are fantastic and it was a great little 3-pack for the purchase. Chances are I will be buying the same type next time around just because I love how well they hold up, ink aside. I'll just keep writing with a pencil instead!

Maui Jim lenses are simply the best These are ultra light and fit great for me and I have a wider than average face but doesn't feel like bending them or any pressure on my temples or ears (other sunglasses do that and gives me headaches if wear them long) Excellent look to boot I got blue lenses for general purpose use and keeping eye out for a sale to get another pair or two with other lenses for variety and use for different applications Best sunglasses I've ever had

As much as I like the durability, and as much as I wanted a notebook that would stand the test of time (and the trials of my purse), this was not for me. I purchased another three-pack which should get along with me a little better.

Maui Jim, progressive lenses, extra dark, polarized, anti-glare, anti-scratch. wrap-around. High refractive index lenses, so thin and light. Best sunglasses ever for me

I love Field Notes and pretty much buy everything they put out. Their American-made quality & company integrity really shows in how they conduct themselves and the products they provide. I bought these, as I have been a longtime fan of weather/water-proof notebooks (like "Write-in-the-Rain") series, so I was excited to get my hands on these. I must say they are impeccably designed & manufactured, and the recycled plastic-based paper is a great concept

They were excellent. This $210 Maui Jim pair, on the other hand, are a major disappointment in fit and the way they're put together. The lens clarity seems as excellent as you'd expect, so no issue there. But they're very lopsided when put on - it's impossible to get them to sit right - and just put together very poorly

I love Aaron Draplin, the graphic designer who helped design Field Notes. He is awesome and so are these notebooks. They're super durable and totally rad. DO IT

Though it came in brown and it would have been better black in my opinion. Also came with a drawstring microfiber-esque bag with flowers but it has a hideous green background, not my favorite but not really what I was paying for either, so I don't mind.

For people who find it hard to erase, I found Pink Pearl to work well for this paper.
