I have used the rite-in-the-rain paper/notebooks for some time now and love them. I use one of the Fisher pens that utilizes a pressurized ink cartridge and find the ink generally does bled a little. I currently have the small (3 ¼” x 4 7/8”) notebook on me. The notepad has been through the wash 3 times this past month and although the cover did disintegrate after the first wash, the paper is in fine condition. Some of the writing bled a little, but everything is still very readable.
