Rite in the RainWeatherproof Starter Field Planner Kit, Black CORDURA fabric Cover, 1" Ring Binder, Ruler / Writing Guard (No. 9250B-MX)

I’ve used Rite in the Rain paper and notebooks for years for various purposes, especially while doing outdoor fieldwork.  In October 2022, I decided to move entirely to Rite in the Rain paper for my daily planner and retire my other (popular) page-based planner system.  I’ll skip over many of the details of my reasoning to make the change and just say that it made more sense for my current and immediate future needs for a planner system.I picked up the 9250T as I already had some paper that would fit, and the binder itself checked the boxes of what I was looking for.  Settled into it pretty quickly with some ideas of turning out some custom pages that I could print out to fit my specific needs.  I liked the size adding to the convenience of always having it close by or in hand and not being a burden to carry.  It easily fits in my daily carry bag, my backpack, or a daypack that I use on some outings.  It just fits.Sadly, I managed to drop my planner while getting out of my truck at home on a rainy night and it spent the night outside in a pretty heavy rain event.  When found the next day I kicked myself while being thankful that I could expect most everything inside to be in far better shape than my prior solution.  The interior certainly got wet, as evidenced by my business cards and a few various receipts being done for.  The Rite in the Rain pages inside were still very legible with no running ink.  I have been using the OR97 all-weather metal pen that uses the Fisher Space Pen technology as my primary writing instrument.  I like that it is now offered in orange (The ‘OR’ of the ‘OR97’) as it stands out if (okay, when) I drop it in the field.  I have found that I can write on the pages with a gel pen, but they streak easily and may not have held up under this event.End of the story is that I popped my planner in my dehydrator (an Excalibur 3926TB 9 tray if you must know) on about 115-120 to expedite drying.  I lost a few pages in the back of the planner that were wrinkled beyond my liking, but the rest of the RitR pages and the planner itself came back like a champ.  The planner is made in the USA by Tactical Tailor with the ‘Made in the USA’ part being one of the boxes I wanted to be checked when buying a planner.  The structure got a bit soft in the dehydrator and had me worried that this thing was done for.  I reached out to Rite in the Rain, and they were quick to respond, offering to replace the planner and ‘call tag’ the one I had for inspection.  All it needed was an extra day to sort itself out, so I replied that I was happy with what I had and would not need a replacement or a call tag.100% a positive experience with the product and Rite in the Rain customer service.  Cannot recommend it enough.  As a creature of habit, I expect to be a customer for years to come if they continue to make a high-quality, domestically produced product.

The earlier reviewer has a valid issue. I have numerous Rite in the Rain items, and LOVE them. I carry one of their notebooks wherever I go and I really enjoy the fact the paper isn't wimpy. The problem with Amazon is they don't show any additional photos of this item and one must guess what is inside. This, like the last reviewer stated, may be just what I need...but how do I know? Amazon should do a better job with this description.I am now going back and revising this review. With the above paragraph I had rated it one star for the description. Now that I have one in hand I have started using it as my main binder. The interior is similar to the other tactical binder covers, except this one has a permanently mounted 1 inch ring binder attached inside to the spine of the notebook. The only problems I'm having is the rings don't mesh together as well as it possibly could partly due to the small holes in the paper and the need to have very small diameter rings which don't mess well and the paper's holes being so small the paper can snag as you leaf through your notes. Still it's not that big a deal and it's not really an issue. I like this binder a great deal as it has more than enough room to carry all the things I need. It only came with a hardened sheet which is like a plastic page which I used a label maker to put my name on it for identification and a plastic ruler which didn't stay in the binder well. It looks like the sort of ruler you'd get with the Franklin Covey binders.Overall it's a great binder and I'm now carrying it daily. I still like the smaller binder, however, as it has a better ability for me to leaf through the pages without snagging and due to the smaller diameter of the binder's rings (about 1/4 inch) I'm able to more easily write on both sides of the paper while in the binder. The larger binder's bigger rings get in the way with doing this so I have to pop the page out to write on the back side of a page.The smaller binder wasn't perfect because it was smaller. The larger one has some things to get used to, but I've ordered a set of unmarked tabs to go into the binder and this way I can separate different subjects. The main benefit is being able to use the older information as a resource.I don't use binders like these any longer for my calendar. Over the past few years I've carried a Palm Pilot, then a Blackberry and now an Iphone. I use this sort of thing for my contact database, internet, calendar, long-term note resource and phone. Paper, however, is still a good way to flesh-out projects or notes for a specific project or event. I had to step out in faith somewhat to use Rite in the Rain products and soon found I loved them. I have my Bible in one of their binder covers, the smaller binder in one of their covers and now the "Starter Planner Kit", along with smaller notebooks stashed in the car or a briefcase. Writing on Rite in the Rain paper, however, is more easily achieved (my experience) with a Sharpie and I use both Black and Red Sharpies for this purpose. I've found that ballpoint pens have not been as workable for the Rite in the Rain paper. But, I'm very happy overall with the products and it's a platform I'm going to be using daily.I work as a Realtor and serve as an elected official. I'm always having to take notes due to a phone call, etc. You won't find me too far from a Rite in the Rain notebook or pad as they hold up, aren't wimpy and whatever you write on them will be there later when you need it instead of wrinkling up, smudging or falling apart because of an unexpected coffee spill.Rite in the Rain depictions may need work, but their products are outstanding!

Strong material, sturdy frame and a strong internal layout. Despite the organiser being relatively expensive in comparison to its competitors I'd suggest it's absolutely worth it. I've owned other brands folders similar to this that rip, become weak, aren't waterproof and on arrival end up being extremely tacky.It could be argued that it's not Tan in colour, it pretty much is but a bit darker than in the photos shown.

If you are using Rite in the Rain loose leaf paper this is a must.Well made binder with several pockets for odds and ends.

Die Qualität bei Rite in the Rain ist exzellent. Da gibt es nichts auszusetzen.Haptik, Optik, Aufteilung, Verarbeitung, Robustheit, Funktionalität - alles erstklassig.Ich hatte den Zufall, dieses Teil zum Preis von knapp unter zwanzig Euronen (!!) zu ergattern und mir zu sichern. Spitzenmäßig, verglichen mit den sonstigen Preisen dieser Kladde.Dafür wurde es allerdings erforderlich, zusätzliches Zubehör zu erstehen: die metallische Ringmechanik ist nämlich auf US-Norm eingestellt. Ich habe mir also extra einen geeigneten Locher besorgen müssen, den gab es aber schon für unter drei Tacken, auch hier auf diesem Kanal.Damit ist es zwar notwendig, unser vorgelochtesA4-Papier mit dem Locher nachträglich passend zu machen, aber die Qualität der Mappe macht diesen Umstand für mich wett. Dennoch, da die Kladde in unseren Gefilden nicht ohne weiteres einsetzbar ist, gibt es einen Stern Abzug.Alles andere ist sein Geld wert. Das fängt beim hervorragenden Cordura an, geht zu den stabilen Netztaschen im Innern über und endet beim vorzüglichen Reißverschluss. Der, und das könnte man vielleicht Rite in the Rain mitgeben, etwas leiser sein dürfte. Er ist leichtgängig und schließt zuverlässig, aber er ist einen Tick zu laut bei Benutzung.Wen das alles nicht stört, der bekommt ein hervorragendes Utensil für jedes Wetter und unterschiedlichste Bedingungen. Ich nutze ihn seit Jahren, in unterschiedlichsten Temperaturbereichen, im strömenden Regen, bei Schnee, Kälte oder Hitze. Ohne merkliche Verschleißerscheinungen.

Das "Rite in the Rain Weatherproof Organiser Books Without Filler" (Größe: Standard) ist gutverarbeitet und die Qualität stimmt für rund 40 Euro. Der Reisverschluss läuft leicht, die Nähtesind gut verarbeitet und das Material wirkt stabil. Auch die Halterung mit dem Klettverschlussam Rücken des Covers macht einen stabilen und zuverlässigen Eindruck.Deshalb die 5 / 5 Sterne.*ACHTUNG* Für meinen gewünschten Einsatz mit DIN A5 nicht geeignet, da die offiziellen DIN A5Abmessungen, mit 13,6cm x 19,2cm, zu groß sind. Mehr als 18cm in der Höhe und 14cm in derBreite sind nicht wirklich unterzubringen (siehe Fotos). Ich hatte die Hoffnung, da der Artikelmit 23cm Höhe in den Produktbildern angegeben wird, jedoch nimmt der nach innen versetzteReisverschluss zu viel Platz in Anspruch.

Es una carpeta robusta y sólida. Puede usarse con diversos tipos de hojas, no sólo las de Rite in the Rain. Pueden usarse micas para mapas y cuenta con espacios para marca mapas. Viene con una regla de escala. Le caben bastantes hojas y cuenta con espacios para guardar diversos documentos y marcadores o plumas. Es algo voluminosa por lo que no la recomiendo para uso en el trabajo activo porque quita espacio en la mochila o en un vehículo. Esta carpeta es altamente recomendable.
